  • Face/Off 1997

    ★★★★ Rewatched 22 May, 2013

    Face/Off is like that mental dude in the pub.

    You always try and avoid him. But then one day, when your bored, you engage him in conversation and he tells you, THE GREATEST, AND MOST EXCITING STORY YOU HAVE EVER HEARD.

    And from that moment on you will always give a sly wink and nod off appreciation in his general direction.

  • Room 237 2013

    ★★★ Watched 21 May, 2013

    Ok, so it basically a third TOTAL BOLLOCKS..

    ..but it does nothing more than make The Shining even scarier, even more genius, and an even bigger masterpiece than I first thought.

    If that were possible.

    It's hard not to imagine Stanley Kubrick watching this and pissing his pants.

    If he weren't dead of course.

    Stoker is phenomenal.

    It's as dreamy as it is taught. As beautiful as it is horrific. It's The Tree of Life with A screenplay. An outstanding screenplay at that. It has been said that…

  • Skyfall 2012

    ★★★★★ Watched 26 Oct, 2012 40

    Sam Mendes proves his Bond making credentials, and confirms his excellent film making credentials.

    Skyfall certainly is an excellent film. The best Bond film in 48 years. This is a proper spy film, and James Bond, as a character is a proper spy.

    As a Bond fan this film pleased me in every way. You have to hand it to the film makers, it takes massive balls to put a 4 minute title sequence 10 minutes into a massive film…
