Scorsese and De Niro at their best together in this rousing and depressing boxing biopic. A masterpiece.
Drama
Apocalypto
Depending on your viewpoint, it’s either pretentiousy over-the-top or a great story mixed with impressively authentic detail. (The answer is ‘b’.)
Escape To Victory
So bad it’s good. Unless you don’t like war films, Sly Stallone or football. In which case, what is wrong with you?
Mulholland Dr.
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
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.
Sleeping Beauty
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.
