WHAT I LIKED: In many ways I like to think of X-Men: First Class as a kind of X2.5, as what it does best is continue to develop these characters and conclude the themes in an effective way.
WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE: It doesn't really stand well as a fil... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: I suppose the appeal of ‘Everybody Wants Some,’ is how real it feels, as all of the performances and a fairly good script successfully build a whole roster of characters that are as grounded as they are amusing.

WHAT I LIKED: This is real back to basics cinema brought into the modern age; an in-depth and slowly-built study of two well-developed character groups in plots wonderfully at odds with each other. Yes instead of mindless action and black and whit... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Now I really enjoyed the first X-Men, and I didn't for a moment expect that they'd top it with X2... but boy did they; with Bryan Singer bringing everything a sequel should have and setting a bit of a comic-book gold standard along t... Read the full review »

What are some of your favorite movie soundtracks?
@TheFilmRascalShow I think there's been some good stuff in there; I'd recommend listening to Nocturnal Animals or Hell or High Water - they're both incredible. Some other favourites for me were High Rise, Magnificent 7 and X-Men Apocalypse!

WHAT I LIKED: Unlike his debut piece which was more concerned with context than character, Steve McQueen's 'Shame,' is a meticulous character-study that spends its entire run-time examining a man with a sex addiction and severe emotional detachmen... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: 'High Rise' is a film driven entirely by its themes, and it certainly succeeds on that front. Yes in fact this is easily one of the most interesting social commentaries I've seen in a long time, and I suppose that's mainly down to th... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: A crime-thriller with real depth; Ben Affleck's 'The Town' isn't just great edge-of-your-seat cops and robbers stuff, but its brilliant narrative genuinely allows you to understand both sides too. Indeed that's a rather rare thing in... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: This is yet another Liam Neeson-fronted thriller so we should have some idea of what we're getting by now, but the core asset of 'Non-Stop,' is undoubtedly the mystery and the way it builds tension so surprisingly well. Yes you genui... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: This amazing film takes the fight on a timely issue, and it wins because of its developed characterisation and its tragically poetic story. Yes 'Philadelphia,' genuinely brings a tear yo the eye and engages brilliantly with its touch... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: At its centre, 'Doctor Strange,' is really just another simple, well-told superhero origin about a guy going from douchebag to hero; it just so happens to have a heavy side-order of dazzling world-building and mysticism.
That's all... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: People praise today's Marvel Studios for choosing interesting directors and giving them the space to make the films that they want to make, but back in 2011, they did just that with Kenneth Branagh and 'Thor.'
Yes, if you read the s... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: 'Iron Man 3' is the sequel that Iron Man 2 should have been, as it takes a similarly interesting character premise (this time Tony's PTSD after the events of The Avengers) and crucially takes it seriously.
Yes rather than turning the... Read the full review »
