  • HAVOC (2025) Director Gareth Evans blood soaked thriller, part Year of the Dragon, part John Woo, with a smidgen of Blade Runner in the way the city is presented! Tom Hardy, gruff as ever, plays the corrupt cop who gets caught up in the equally cor…

  • I've only ever watched 'Heavens Gate' once, and to be honest I don't remember too much about it, but it's probably due another visit, and it's been re-evaluated by some critics!

  • THE DEEP (1977) Coming off the blockbuster success of 'Jaws', another Peter Benchley aquatic novel is filmed. Unfortunately, despite the presence of Robert Shaw, it's nowhere near Spielbergs masterpiece! Peter ( Bullitt) Yates directs, as two diver…
