Drive Review
A couple of months ago, Fan of the Month Sam asked for me to review Drive. One of my favourite films of 2011 despite only seeing it this year, it was every bit as enjoyable on the re-watch.

Somos Lo Que Hay (We Are What We Are) Review
Only a few months late, I am finally getting up to date with my Fan of the Month requests. Next up is Fernando’s Mexican horror Somos Lo Que Hay. Thankfully it’s a horror that won’t end in a sleepless night tonight. Hopefully, anyway.
Alien (Franchise) Review
To celebrate the release of Ridley Scott’s Prometheus, I took a look at the previous Alien films. I even watched the Alien vs. Predator spin offs, although they’re both so awful I didn’t indulge my anger and post my thoughts. If you’re not excited about Rapace, Fassbender and Theron yet, hopefully this’ll get your adrenaline pumping
The Hurt Locker Review
Having neglected my mission to see every film from 1001 Movies to Watch Before You Die somewhat, I thought it was about time that I got back to it with The Hurt Locker on blu-ray.
Tomboy Review
Celine Sciamma’s Tomboy has received great critical acclaim, as well as winning a couple of awards. Does this French drama live up to its expectations?
Melancholia Review
Your wedding day is meant to be the best day of your life, right? Well, not if an ominous blue planet is looming over Earth. Melancholia; my first experience of a Lars von Trier film wasn’t the greatest as art house meets sci-fi in this psychological apocalyptic movie
Retreat Review
Cillian Murphy and Thandie Newton play a troubled couple getting away from it all on a remote island in Retreat. They’re not as alone as they think they are, as Jamie Bell shows up unannounced bringing terrible news
Unknown Review
unexpectedly really enjoyed Taken. It was a random rental that I wasn’t expecting to like, having written it off as a “boy’s film” before I’d even really read or seen anything about it. I loved the action, the fast pace and how much of a badass Liam Neeson’s character was. I expected Unknown, naively, to …
Clash of the Titans Review
Clash of the Titans shows Sam Worthington is capable of more than his role in Avatar; it’s a shame that his performance nor CGI aren’t up to a similar standard
Rango Review
Who’d have thought it; Disney have been beaten at what they do best. Rango is cool, slick and shows Depp back at his best
Kramer vs. Kramer Review
Hoffman vs. Streep – whose side are you going to be on? It’s so hard not to love him in this brilliant performance.
Due Date Review
It’s not The Hangover, but Galifianakis unfortunately plays the same role in both. Hurray for RDJ!
Buried Review
Even though Reynolds is brilliant, this is probably one to avoid if you suffer from claustrophobia
Paprika Review
Paprika is what Inception would have been like if it had been made in Japan: more colourful, surreal and beautiful
Inglourious Basterds Review
Tarantino manages to create the most evil baddie I’ve witnessed on screen, it’s just not enough to make the film amazing
