Interstellar, Christopher Nolan’s visually astonishing and mind-bending science-fiction epic, is an overwhelming experience. At least it was for me when I saw it on an IMAX screen, and it continues to be every single time I pop in the Blu-ray or watch it on HBO. It’s a $165 million anti-blockbuster that was based on an…

*Sponsored Post* Awesome Movie Cigar Scenes In the golden age of Hollywood, it was rare to watch a movie or a television show where the main characters weren’t smoking, or the heroes didn’t pause to light up cigars. We now live in an increasingly politically correct environment, where it’s extremely rare to see main characters…
The King of Comedy is my #3 Martin Scorsese picture behind Goodfellas and Raging Bull. This is a brilliant black comedy, with an aggressively funny and hugely obnoxious performance from Robert De Niro. Jerry Lewis is utterly brilliant here, all dead pan and stern seriousness, completely unimpressed with De Niro’s idiotic pestering and absurd shenanigans….
This is a shamelessly entertaining film with lots of heart and a tone that bounces all over the place. Gregory Hoblit’s underrated 2000 genre-bender Frequency was a modest hit with critics and audiences at the time of its release, and while it’s hardly a great movie, it’s so much fun to watch, and it stands…
If you’ve ever lived with a friend, rented out your spare room or suffered living with your parents into your twenties, then you’ll be aware that there are many every day occurrences that can cause friction between you and your housemates. I use the term “mate” loosely here, so from hereon in I shall use…
Based on Thomas Pynchon’s much celebrated novel, this is a wild, ridiculous, totally blazed piece of work that had “cult-classic” status written all over it the moment it was released in theaters a few years ago. Different and yet similar to obvious inspirations such as The Big Lebowski, The Big Sleep, and The Long Goodbye,…
Released in 1960, Billy Wilder’s The Apartment stands as one of the filmmaker’s greatest works, a motion picture written with intelligence, directed with style, and preformed with vitality by its splendid cast, which included Jack Lemmon, Shirley MacLaine, Fred MacMurray, Ray Walston, David Lewis, Willard Waterman, David White, Edie Adams, Hope Holiday, and Jack Kruschen….

Hollywood Tough Guy Geoff Bell Showcases His Skills in Online Casino Ad The memory of some Hollywood celebrities lingers in the minds of moviegoers for decades. Some actors don’t mind being typecast and rise to the challenge whenever opportunity presents itself. Movie star Geoff Bell is generally regarded as a Hollywood tough guy, with memorable…
A film that strips away any narrative pretense and bloat, favoring classical and exquisitely shot and cut fight sequences with a terse screenplay (written by Soderbergh frenemy Lem Dobbs) that only divulges exactly what you need to know and nothing more. Gina Carano, a former MMA star, isn’t a particularly expressive or emotive screen presence,…
James Bond is one of the highest-grossing media franchises of all time which started back in 1962 with Sean Connery in Dr No. It is also the longest continually-running film series in history. Since the first film, there has been another 23 films, and rumours have it that the 25th film is already in production…
Gore Verbinski’s sumptuously mounted horror-thriller A Cure for Wellness plays like a cross between Shutter Island and The Cell but not nearly as great as those two pieces of work, with various props borrowed from the bunker set on TV’s Lost (I don’t ever want to be reminded of that show again). As I expected,…
Set in 1971, Kris is sentenced to two years in a rural Borstal and the film follows the day to day life of the boys of Borstal and their preparation for life on the outside. The movie revolves around Kris (Matthew Winters), a young lad who has been sentenced to serve his time at the…
It’s that time of year again where I pack my belongings and head to London for the 2017 EE BAFTA awards. It was no surprise to me when La La Land picked up the best film award. For popularity and sheer quality alone that award was predicted months in advance. There were some incredible movies on…
