Fun. Harmless romcom that I rather enjoyed though I will admit Hugh Grant is getting a little old to star in this kind of material these days. I heard some savage reviews by middle aged men but, hell, what do … Continue reading →

Brilliant. I loved this movie. Yes it’s disturbing because the hero is the bad guy but it’s done with such panache and great performances that I went with it. What I especially liked was that I didn’t know how they … Continue reading →

Scared silly. You may not be but I was. Not a bad retelling of Rear Window, with a number of shocks along the way to its inevitable conclusion. Attractive cast, wonderfully creepy bad guy (David Morse) and an interesting mum … Continue reading →
