The Kingdom
Surprising. I hadn’t expected to enjoy this movie but I did. Sadly the trailer once again spoiled the experience by giving away events from the end of the movie. How about allowing the movie goer surprise, guys? That too can … Continue reading

A Mighty Heart
Heart-wrenching. I must admit to having planned to avoid seeing this movie, when we headed to the cinema we had intended to see Breach. The Odeon website, however, had blown a gasket and it turned out our movie of choice … Continue reading

The Invasion
Surprising. Given all the bad press about this movie I expected the worst which, of course, meant I was pleasantly surprised. Probably better as a rental, for a night on the sofa this wasn’t that bad a movie. Enough tension … Continue reading

Michael Clayton
Taut. What might have been a pretty average thriller turns out to be much better than that due to a number of rather interesting performances. George Clooney inhabits these middle aged men who realise they’ve lost their way roles so … Continue reading

Atonement
Sobworthy. Definitely a multiple hankie movie this one. I spent about the last third or so trying not to completely lose it and ball my eyes out. Thought I better read the book it’s based on and signed up for … Continue reading

3.10 from Yuma
Gripping. I love modern reinterpretations of the traditional fifties western and while, in some ways, this is a rather more traditional script than most, it is quite thrilling watching two modern actors bring a rich emotional underpinning to these very … Continue reading

Bourne Ultimatum
Brilliant. What a ride this movie is! Holy cow. It starts right from the word go and doesn’t let up. There are a couple of opportunities to catch your breath but basically you just have to grab hold and hang … Continue reading

The Upside of Anger
Oddity. It was great to watch a movie, for once, where the main protagonists were women. While I found some of the personalities irritating from time to time it was still interesting to follow the lives of these women. Joan … Continue reading

The Descent
Cool. One scary movie that looses its way towards the end but still rocks hard enough that it is worth seeing. Not my usual type of movie viewing but the good doctor (aka Mark Kermode) raved about it when it … Continue reading
