I don’t think I project the image of a fan of musicals; I’d like to think people see me as the superhero aficionado, or at least the “movies 10 years old or more” guy. Thing is, when I look back [...]

For such a high brow film I don’t think I could have come upon this film in a more low brow fashion – having been turned on to see it by Tank in Rocknrolla watching it in his SUV. I [...]

Tweetnopsis: #Bill&Ted2: Two metalhead idiots embark on a trip into the afterlife, somehow cheating their way to greatness again. A clever twist on an old favourite. For the sake of this review, I’m gonna assume that you’ve seen Bill & [...]

Tweetnopsis: #LongKissGoodnight:Oddly statuesque schoolteacher forgets she’s a spy. An early Bourne prototype and another great Shane Black buddy comedy. This seems to be a really polarizing film, with those against it mostly falling under the “I hate Renny Harlin” category. I [...]

Tweetnopsis: #5thElement: Cab driver teams up with supreme being and galaxy’s most annoying MC to save the world. Besson creates great fashionable scifi   I don’t know whether this still goes without saying nowadays, but this film is pretty much [...]

Tweetnopsis: #Unleashed:Chinese infant is raised by British gangsters to be a dog, but the racism is mostly set aside in favour of kung fu death matches. I’m not sure who the marketing genius behind the title Danny the Dog was, but [...]

Tweetnopsis: #Ladyhawke:Rutger Hauer is a kinda wolfman, and a nubile Michelle Pfeiffer is a bird. A beautiful film cut off at the knees by Alan Parsons. If I were to tell you there’s a movie out there about a sword [...]
