XXX

James Bond with a slap-head – shaven, not stirred. Get it? “Shaven”, not stirred? Eh? Oh, just forget it.

U Turn

Oliver Stone confusing a “u-turn” with going endlessly round and round in circles.

A Beautiful Mind

Calling it a “Beautiful” Mind seems a tad self-indulgent – but it’s certainly a bloody good one.

Reservoir Dogs

The movie that laid the groundwork for the bigger and better Pulp Fiction – but it’s also none too shabby in its own right.

Out Of Sight

A cool, sharp and entertaining crime caper.

Get Carter

Caine's talents are wasted in this over-rated underworld drivel.

Black Christmas

Less 'Black Christmas' than 'Cack Christmas'. I wouldn’t watch this again if you promised me a lifetime supply of selection boxes.

Out of Time

A well-crafted, if lightweight, steamy noir thriller distinguished by its excellent acting and sophisticated script.

Alien Hunter

Mildly entertaining in places, but utterly predictable and never remotely thought-provoking.

Half Past Dead

One of those God-awful movies that’s so bad it actually starts to become a little enjoyable. Note the use of the phrase “a little” in there.
