WHAT I LIKED: Dare I say it - probably the best way to describe the feeling you get from 'Inception' is the sense that director Christopher Nolan is letting his hair down a bit. Yes oddly enough, when compared to his other amazing filmography, it... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: I do certainly hold some love for 'Kong: Skull Island,' as it's a film sprinkled with more quirky and individual elements than you may expect from a blockbuster of this scale. Yes for one, the story is clearly crafted to explore a co... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: 'Up' is clearly a lot of fun, but it is also universally recognised as Pixar's saddest film, and it most definitely is. Yes the themes of age and family run so strongly through the beautiful narrative and characters here that the fil... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: There's no denying it; stylistically, 'John Wick' is one of the coolest in its game, as it packs some if the best world-building, cinematography and action choreography that this kind kind of film could ever offer. Honestly, not a ha... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: On the one hand, 'Get Out' is undoubtedly a very gripping and engaging thriller indeed, but what really makes it something special is its thematic layers.
Yes, Jordan Peele isn't aiming for a straight genre-piece here at all as the... Read the full review »

'Alien: Covenant' is a film with a lot on its plate. For starters it needs to answer the questions posed by its overambitious amuse-bouche 'Prometheus (2012),' and secondly it needs to satisfy everyone's apparent hunger for horror and character de... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Perhaps unsurprisingly with Pixar at the wheel, 'Monsters University' does manage to capture much of the magic of its predecessor, as it still packs all the charm and detail you'd expect, as well as many of the characters you grew to... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: 'Monsters Inc' is yet another example of innovative, smart and fun storytelling from Pixar that truly cemented their success and showed the far reaches of animation in all its glory. In fact, I'm far from alone in putting this film r... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Christopher Nolan is a filmmaker known for his grand, twisty narratives which move in service of big real-world ideas, and though 'Interstellar,' is a prime example of that, it's the film's utterly incredible atmosphere and, cruciall... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Make no mistake, 'The 100 Year Old Man who Climbed out of the Window and Disappeared,' is as much an off-the-wall comedy as its ridiculous title suggests, however it can equally be said that - like with all good comedies - there's a... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Rian Johnson's 'Looper' is a startlingly fresh, properly original and genuinely brave film made by a force of thoroughly creative people all driving to test the boundaries of blockbuster cinema, but it is also a film with a clear gro... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: A Sam Mendes directed Bond movie was always an exciting and intriguing prospect, but what he did with 'Skyfall,' was properly brilliant and exceeded everyone's expectations, and the final product actually amounts to a film that's not... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: The main thing to note about this legendary thriller is the outstanding performances and characterisation, as this incredible cast and a great script bring all the madness to life to such an exciting degree. This allows you to delve... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: When someone tells me that I don't like Hollywood rom-coms, to contradict them I either reference Richard Curtis, or Paul Feig and his work on this film. Yes 'Bridesmaids' is not only a properly funny and well-constructed romance/com... Read the full review »
