  • Halloween (2018) Finally caught up with this and am now wondering what all the fuss was about. Not sure why they bothered to be honest. This film adds nothing particularly new or original and in fact suffers from too many of this genre's clich…

  • Miami Vice Very underrated film. Yeah, Mann has covered this ground before and more successfully. But this is still a cool and riveting piece of Cinema. Love the soundtrack and digital photography.
  • As it's nearly Christmas On Her Majesty's Secret Service Watching it on my new 4K TV was just stunning! The photography and brilliant editing really popped out of the screen. The snow scenes are amazing and Diana Rigg is just so beautiful. A w…

  • Watchmen Some say it's too reverential to the novel, but I think the makers did a wonderful job of bringing such a dense work to the screen. Performances are all good and the film looks amazing. Haven't seen it for quite a few years so it w…

  • Oldboy (2013) Caught this by accident the other day and despite the fact it got slaughtered by the critics I didn't think it was bad. Obviously not a patch on the original but this remake features an intense performance from Josh Brolin and so…

  • Ant-Man & The Wasp Great fun. Think i prefer this to the first film. The scenes with Michelle Pfieffer's character got a bit silly, but overall it's action packed and very funny in places. Another winner for Marvel.
