Cloverfield is exactly what the Found Footage genre was designed for. It puts the audience directly in the action, taking the point of view of one of the characters and presenting the full blown horror of the situation. It is primarily … Continue reading Cloverfield (2008) Review
Although Snatch is about gangsters, has a twisted story and uses a lot of the same actors, the film has a very different feel to Guy Ritchie’s debut, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. For starters, it isn’t quite as good. … Continue reading Snatch (2000) Review
From the moment that Guy Ritchie’s fast-paced, dialogue heavy and twist-filled debut movie starts, you are very aware that you are watching something special. It starts quite nonchalantly, very low-key, as Nick Moran’s Eddy, clearly battered and beaten, explains some of the finer points … Continue reading Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998) Review
Although Man of Steel wasn’t the return to the big screen that people wanted for Superman, Zack Snyder actually got a lot right. On first watch you can be blinded by what the movie is doing wrong that it overshadows all the things … Continue reading Man of Steel (2013) Re-View
You would be forgiven for thinking that director Zack Snyder had pulled the wool over your eyes. The marketing for this movie is effective.

I review a whole season rather than individual episodes, so there is a chance of spoilers. If you haven’t watched the whole season yet, stop reading now! When The X-Files left our TV screens in 2002 it felt like unfinished business. The final … Continue reading The X-Files (Season 10) TV Review
One word sums up the style, look and whole nature of John Wick: Cool. Director Chad Stahelski didn’t try anything complicated. Instead he made a movie which took a wronged man, lots of Russian mobsters and some cool fight-sequences and ultra-violence … Continue reading John Wick (2014) Review
London has Fallen is that rare of occurrences: An action sequel which is better than the first. That isn’t to say it is a great movie or that the improvement is a huge one, just that changing the location to the other … Continue reading London Has Fallen (2016) Review
I have been craving the “classic” 80s and 90s action movies. Hollywood seems so determined to make their movies as universal as possible in an attempt to place more bums on seats that action movies have lost that violent edge or … Continue reading Olympus Has Fallen (2013) Review
