A Medieval take on The Expendables that nearly exceeds it’s relatively modest budget. Fun for a while but gets monotonous and dreary as it crawls to a climax.
This Beast from the East is quality culture clash comedy that treads the fine line between comedy and social commentary in the most amusing and inoffensive way. Deserves it’s massive popularity.
Not as good as East is East as it misses a bit of the hard-hitting punch of it’s predecessor but it’s still got enough laughs to make it worth a watch.

Undoubtedly, a technically excellent and superbly acted tale of grief but, as a movie to sit down and enjoy, it’s probably more depressing than sitting in your garage, crying tears of mascara whilst the air around you fills up with petrol fumes and the warblings of a Celine Dion powerballad.

The Coen Brothers surpass the original thanks to their trademark humour, gorgeous cinematography and a host of excellent performances.

Schlesinger’s classic Seventies tale of the American Dream gone wrong, starring a very young John Voight and a very small Dustin Hoffman. Most definitely not a Western.

It’s got gritty realism, iconic lines and Robert De Niro at his very best. If you haven’t seen this yet, I’m very disappointed in you. Tssk.

A real knockout. A cut above the rest. Punching above it’s weight. Has a fighting chance at the Oscars. In summary, it’s pretty good.

A typical Jason Statham vehicle that delivers on action, plot and, most importantly, entertainment. Not a classic but a decent watch nonetheless.

A quality character driven exploration of class and race divisions in a Parisian ‘ghetto’ with three excellent lead performances and an interesting story. Undoubtedly, the best thing to come out of France since Emmanuelle.
