L.A. Confidential (Review)
As a drama L.A. Confidential is a triumph in every respect. By faithfully and stylishly telling an excellent and often intricate James Ellroy tale centred in 1950s Los Angeles, director Curtis Hanson proves that dour and mature noir content doesn’t … Continue reading

Pan’s Labyrinth (Review)
Guillermo Del Toro has never taken the easy way out. Not never. When he got his Hollywood break with the ‘giant bug’ movie Mimic he crafted it with more care than a hundred Michael Bay’s – even though it was … Continue reading

Black Hawk Down (Review)
Black Hawk Down is one of those brilliantly realised films that will nonetheless depress the hell out of you. Ridley Scott expertly tells the story of a botched mission in civil war torn Somalia, albeit from a decidedly pro-US perspective, … Continue reading

This is 40 (Review)
We first met Pete (Paul Rudd) and Debbie (Leslie Mann) in Knocked Up a few years ago, their relationship being the most interesting element of the film after it turned into a chick flick about way through. They haven’t changed. … Continue reading

Brave (Review)
I am amazed that it took so long for the white gloved hands of Disney to have an impact on Pixar’s releases, given that they purchased the company 2 years ago. But since then Pixar managed to released films of … Continue reading

Deep Cover (Review)
From the unbelievably slo-mo intro sequence accompanied by the excellent Dr Dre produced instrumental Deep Cover is pure, unadulterated, under-rated and under-appreciated class. Russell Stevens (Laurence Fishburne) is driven to be a good, upright and honest man, untainted by evil … Continue reading

Looper (Review)
It is the future; 2044 specifically. This is no Blade Runner future with a squillion new inventions and ultra-cool gadgets, if anything the divide between the rich and the poor seems to have narrowed, although unfortunately the overall tilt seems … Continue reading

The Original Star Wars Trilogy Review
So far Star Wars has influenced at least three generations. Literally billions of people have seen it. Most of those have written about it. I am not stupid enough to think I can plumb the material for the jokes practically … Continue reading
The Raid: Redemption (Review)
And out of the blue comes the best martial arts film in about a decade (by my reckoning Kiss of the Dragon was better, but far more commercial and expected) from, of all places, Indonesia. For the record there won’t … Continue reading

The Exorcist (Review)
The best and most apt review of The Exorcist that I could write would be ‘Just see it*’. For a nearly 40 year old film to not only still be effective is one thing, but The Exorcist remains an absolute … Continue reading
