Movie #16 2021: Ratcatcher (1999)

I’ve chosen to start this review off a little differently, as I wanted to show you the advertising poster that comes with this film. There’s something about it that feels…

Movie #15 2021: Heat (1995)

21 Jan 202114 Jan 2021
I don’t even know how to begin this review. Let’s just say, what a fucking movie. Heat comes from the mind of Michael Mann, who both wrote and directed it.…

Movie #12 2021: The Guernsey Literary & Potato Peel Pie Society (2018)

18 Jan 202112 Jan 2021
The Guernsey Literary & Potato Peel Pie Society. Try saying that ten times fast. Not to worry though, that’s actually good reason behind that mouthful of a film title. (I…

Movie #10 2021: Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984)

16 Jan 202112 Jan 2021
Surprise! I went back-to-back Indiana Jones on you. Although, I am yet to see The Last Crusade, so bear with me on that one... As with Raiders of the Lost…

Movie #9 2021: Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)

15 Jan 202110 Jan 2021
Nope, I've never seen a single Indiana Jones movie before in my life. Don't be surprised though - I'd never seen a single Star Wars movie before 2016 either. (Don't…

Movie #8 2021: Blue Velvet (1986)

14 Jan 20218 Jan 2021

Movie #6 2021: The Long Goodbye (1973)

12 Jan 20216 Jan 2021

Movie #5 2021: Paterson (2016)

11 Jan 20216 Jan 2021
Jim Jarmusch is one of those directors you hear about a lot, but brush to one side because he's easily dismissible as a poncey auteurist. But there was something about…

Movie #367 2020: The Personal History of David Copperfield (2019)

31 Dec 202030 Dec 2020
As we come to the end of the dreaded and not-so-fondly remembered 2020, it's really nice to see a movie that is just nice. It's polite. It's funny. And it…

Movie #354 2020: Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964)

19 Dec 202029 Dec 2020
We've had an awful lot of reviews here for modern-day cinema lately, haven't we? So why not wind it all the way back to 1964 and take a look at…
