  • Four Brothers 2005

    ★★★ Added

    Good if standard fare. Four Brothers focuses on the titular group trying to discover why their foster mother was shot. There are a couple of twists and a red herring but the film, featuring good performances from the group, is no more than solid fun

  • Wanderlust 2012

    ★★★½ Added

    Very amusing, if not continuously funny film. Game performances from all involved, with Alan Alda in particular in fine form. Predictable beats in the plot aside, there's plenty to chuckle along to and is certainly superior to the usual, run-of-the mill romcoms which get churned out

    Watch something else, anything, even the old Captain America movie. Just not this

  • Once Upon a Time in the West 1969

    From a slow-burn opening, to the beautiful synchronicity of performance and soundtrack, and ending in a duel of fates (as is tradition) this film is a masterclass in pure cinema. This is Sergio Leone at the height of his powers. The performances of the cast involved, the strong characters and perfectly paced plotting and action all lead to a beautiful love letter to, not only Westerns, but cinema as a whole.

    This is a film which really does have everything working in unison to create a marvellous film that must be watched by all with even a passing interest in Westerns or the possibilities of film.
