So bad it’s good. Unless you don’t like war films, Sly Stallone or football. In which case, what is wrong with you?
Still recovering from the mild stroke I suffered whilst watching this very complex thriller from master-of-that-kind-of-thing David Lynch. An excellent movie if you give it your full attention.
Princess Mononoke is accessible anime close to its best, A multi-layered, interesting storyline and a measured mix of action, plot and the weird spiritual stuff make it a winner.

An anti-fairy tale that has pointless dialogue, pointless monologues, pointless scenes, pointlessly dragged out scenes, pointless digression, pointless nudity and a storyline that in the end has no point.

A fantastic tale of a group of juvenile prisoners driven to revolution by an unfair, abusive system. Brutally realistic and well-acted with beautifully stark cinematography. Possibly even a match for The Shawshank Redemption.

The Skin I Live In might not be Pedro Almodavar’s best but it’s certainly a dark and delightful watch that provides surprises and stylish cinematography. It’s also got Antonio Banderas in excellent form.
To many, The Great Escape is more important to Christmas than Jesus, and this entertaining World War Two prison break movie deserves to be. Great characters, action and putting-it-up-Jerry makes John Sturges’ movie a classic war movie.
Not the best adaptation of a Bronte novel from Andrea Arnold. Bleak in a lot of ways.
It may be a little overlong, but Wei and Woo introduce a fascinating story from history with plenty of stylish action and objectivity.
A subtle look at the psychological nuances of teenage bullies in Sweden. Fascinating watching.
