WHAT I LIKED: Damien Chazelle's 'Whiplash' made you so nervous you could burst, but the beauty of his 'La La Land' is that it manages to play with all of your emotions. I cried, I felt empathetic for the leads, I felt reflective, but most of all I... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: I thought Whiplash would be a great drama with awesome music, but nothing prepared me for what I actually experienced here. Yes at his mere age, Damien Chazelle managed to deliver something as raw, intense and brutal as I've ever see... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: There's no doubt 'Layer Cake' is a clever film in many ways - primarily because the story it's based on has a whole set of interesting messages and well-constructed plots, but also because it's brought to life in an artistic and exci... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: All the explaining I could do about what makes 'Hidden Figures' so appealing can simply be personified by the film's gorgeous score. A ballsy yet successful balance between the wonder and beauty of Hans Zimmer and the hope and lightn... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: I had high hopes for this film after the brilliance of 'Bourne Identity' and largely it succeeds where the last did; bringing a gritty tone and plenty of exciting action right from the off. This time around though, the plot is far mo... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Watching 'The Great Gatsby' is like watching a brilliant West-End pantomime, as it has you grinning from ear-to-ear yet strangely hooked in the world and story too. That's made possible by the simple brilliance of its mystery and rom... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: The most striking thing about 'The Prisoner of Azkaban,' is the aesthetic difference brought by esteemed director Alfonso Cuaron. The look of the whole piece is visibly darker and grander, the camera swoops dynamically around the set... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Doug Liman's 'The Bourne Identity,' doesn't generally get the same credit that Paul Greengrass' slightly more political franchise efforts often do, but in actual fact this is where the revolutionary stylistic approach really came fro... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: The now-called 'Cornetto trilogy' concludes to the standard of 'Shaun of the Dead' and then some; bringing even more depth than we saw in the first instalment. This is probably Wright's most layered and intelligent film of all actual... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: The band is back together with Nick Frost, Simon Pegg (who's "chemistry" is magnetic) and genius Edgar Wright re-uniting after the brilliant 'Shaun of the Dead.' On the most part, they deliver again too, as this definitely works as a... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: There are few things better in this world than a well-executed satire, and Edgar Wright's zombie-apocalypse take 'Shaun of the Dead,' is one of modern cinema's great examples of that. Yes the initial idea to ground the classic zombie... Read the full review »

Until a week ago, if you wanted an example of tangible sci-fi world-building, you didn't have to look any further than the original Star Wars trilogy. Now though, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016), - the first of a potentially endless number of... Read the full review »
