Film Review: Anna

Okay, a fun film oddly cast, with a mis-match of talent. Sasha Luss’s performance (really great at action, not so great at dialogue or expression) is put firmly into shadow by her highly skilled peers, Luke Evans and Cillian Murphy. And Helen Mirren? What on earth was she doing in this movie? Helen Mirren is awesome, a giant of the...

Film Review: Yesterday

What a great, feel good movie! There is a cracking cast, especially the two leads, Himesh Patel and Lily James. They work particularly well together, and there is great comic relief from Joel Fry. This movie is funny and tender, and great if you are a Beatles fan! There are some flaws in the plot if you look too closely,...

Film Review: Godzilla, King of the Monsters

Cliched, tired, appalling writing. This film is an affront to film makers worldwide, and if it makes a profit (I’m sure it will) it will be yet another nail in the coffin of well-made, intelligent films. If people keep going to see this nonsense (yes, I know, I went to see it so I could write this review) the studios...

Film Review: Always Be My Maybe

I love this film. It has the feeling of Notting Hill and Love Actually, but without the sadness. This is a great film with two strong leads, the amazing Ali Wong and Randall Park. There is a naturalness and chemistry between them that really comes through, and the supporting cast are also excellent, with well-written and strong characters. There is...

Film Review: MiB International

This movie just goes to show that you can throw money at a film, you can throw great actors, you can throw in lots of special effects, but there’s no guarantee you will end up with anything good. This movie is tired and slow, okay for kids perhaps, but not a great film. I give this film 5.0/10.0

Film Review: Late Night

Extremely well written story, fantastically well cast and acted, an example of great cinematography, consistently good throughout. Emma Thompson and Mindy Kaling work well together, both strong individually, but great together. I give this a 9.0/10.0

Film Review: Booksmart

Funny, bittersweet in places, coming-of-age movie. I’m not sure the comparison with Ferris Bueller’s Day Off or Superbad are well made, but I enjoyed the film and its great cast. I give this film 7.5/10.0.

Film Review: John Wick 3

Strong start, first 10 minutes the most violent I have seen in a movie, and I started watching in the VHS days when a 12 year old could rent anything! It heralded a downward spiral for the movie though, the violence giving way to a nonsense mythicism about the “high table”, and the mixing of Yakuza, Mafia and Russian Bratva...

Film Review: Captain Marvel

Better than other MCU films I’ve seen, and funny and touching in places, but still a bit pants. They are all the same… I give this a “meh” score of 6.0/10.0

Film Review: Long Shot

Great fun, well cast. Seth Rogan and Charlize Theron work surprisingly well with each other. Laugh out loud funny at times, and always light-hearted, it is well written and well paced, and keeps you entertained the entire, madcap way through. A well deserved 8.5/10.0
