  • J. Edgar 2011

    ★★★★½ Watched 11 Jan, 2013

    Despite mixed reviews, I must say Clint Eastwood's latest film far surpassed my expectations. I was expecting something pretty damn special at first, given Eastwood's history with Million Dollar Baby and Gran Torino, two of my favourite films, but I must confess that critics' reactions to this film put me off a bit before I decided to finally sit down and watch this biopic.

    I shan't go into too much detail, I wouldn't want to put you all to sleep,…

  • The Princess and the Frog 2009

  • Ferris Bueller's Day Off 1986

    ★★★★½ Added 3

    What is it about a John Hughes film that makes you want to watch it over and over again? It's completely unpredictable, and yet so brilliant. Ferris Bueller makes me want to go back to school just so I can skip it and try all of these things, though I know that's probably impossible.

    It's such a fun film! It's smooth, the acting is perfect and the characters are loveable - even the ones you aren't supposed to love. 4 and a half stars, because it doesn't quite reach a five. It lacks something... still, very enjoyable and a must watch for anyone!

  • Layer Cake 2005

    ★★★★½ Added 4

    I personally really enjoyed this film. I've seen it a number of times now and every time I seem to enjoy it more and more, it's just so well directed and flows in such a way that I can't help but be captivated. I recommend highly.
