Letterboxd — Your life in film

You know how I only normally do one quote at the beginning of my reviews? Well, just to emphasise the genius of the dialogue, here’s four of the best lines from the four leads:
“Jesus Christ, Stephen, what is the point of having a n***er that speak German, if ya can’t wheel ‘em out when you have a German guest?!” – Calvin Candie
“Django! You uppity son of a-” - Stephen
“Our mutual friend has a flair for the dramatic.”…

"Gentlemen, you had my curiousity. But now, you have my attention."
Calvin Candie

Quentin Tarantino has had my attention since the very first time I saw Pulp Fiction. It was the first film I ever saw where one of the first words that came to mind was masterpiece! It was my first Tarantino, I've seen everything he's directed since and I've been impressed every damn time. In my opinion he simply doesn't make bad films.

So with everything I said…

To kind of steal a line from The Rock... FINALLY! THE RON HAS SEEN THE AVENGERS!

This film was like when you get super excited as a kid to do something or go somewhere and it pays off. You have a blast, you drive your parents nuts talking about it, and you bounce off the walls with excitement until you eventually pass out from exhaustion!

My Letterboxd friends know I generally prefer the darker comic book films so I was…

First of all, let me start by saying this: if you still haven't seen this movie, be ashamed, be very ashamed! Even if you're not a comicbook fan or you know, think that superheroes are childish or whatever, I think it's safe to say that this movie has something for everyone.
Like I just said, this movie is very versatile. It's sad, it's exhilirating and I mean... I haven't laughed like this for a long time. The characters are so…

When Marvel announced they were going to set up their own film studio, not only making individual superhero movies but also set them in the same universe and using the solo outings as a way to build interest in a mega-collaboration with four of the biggest heroes in comic books, it seemed like an ambitious folly that was doomed to fail. When most of the solo films turned out to be merely decent the ambition seemed to be misplaced, even…

The Avengers, or as I'd like to call it 'How to go from a 36 year old to a 12 year old in 2.5 hours', is this generation's Star Wars. Or Back to the future. Or Indiana Jones. It doesn't matter, pick one, it's iconic.

This will not be a rational review. It never could have been as I am a silly comic book geek. Whether good or bad, it would simply be impossible for me to approach this film…

The Avengers is just one of those movies I have been waiting to happen since I started reading comics and I still remember the first time I saw Nick Fury at the end credits of Iron Man and being incredibly excited four years ago and since then Marvel studios have been building to this movie and hyping it and hyping it and finally it's out....and it seriously delivered on all expectations on every level. This movie is unlike most of…

I'm Gotham's reckoning.

Superhero films finally have a good trilogy. I'm not proclaiming this on the same level as The Lord of the Rings Trilogy or the original Star Wars Trilogy, but I'm saying this is by far the best superhero trilogy we've ever had. With that said, it's competition for that title wasn't exactly stiff. I'm also a huge Marvel Comics fanboy so it hurts a little admitting that.

The story is epic in scope and takes full…
