24 Little Hours (2020)
Outstanding
An ambitiously put together film with a lot of fascinating actors and bright colorful locations, the concept of the film is clever and entertaining with some great performances.
This is a must-see film and a roller-coaster of emotions, glad to see a Brit independent film with some thought behind the story.
The cinematography is absolutely beautiful.
Alita: Battle Angel (2019)
should have fought harder
Very cool movie with some amazing special effects and a great story.
You very quickly forget the lead actress is actually CGI as her character blends into the human world perfectly.
With a fast paced story line packed full of awesome action and some interesting characters.
I watched this in 3D 4DX, while this always adds some fun to the cinema experience I was expecting it to be a bit more full on then it was.
Escape Room (2019)
SAW meets The Room
Felt like a SAW movie from beginning to the end which was great as I love SAW.
Done a really cool job with getting the gore and tension right solid acting a clever story line.
The story is fast paced, keeping you interesting throughout.
Definitely gonna see more of this franchise in the future.
Stan & Ollie (2018)
If your a Laurel & Hardy fan your love it.
Growing up with an older brother who loved Laurel & Hardy it was hard not to watch their classic comedy movies ten times over, at the same time it was impossible not to enjoy them too.
So it only seemed right to treat my big brother to a trip to the cinema to watch he's comedy hero's life story on the silver screen.
We both watched in ore as this heart warming funny story come to life.
Steve Coogan (Stan) and John C. Reilly (Ollie) absolutely nailed their roles to the point I completely forgot I wasn't watching the real actors playing themselves.
This had all the DNA of the old classic Laurel & Hardy movies and really was a pleasure to watch.
Bumblebee (2018)
Close but no cigar
As a nice family movie this is worth a watch but as a Transformers action movie this is a little on the weak side.
Don't get me wrong I liked it but felt like I was watching a Herbie goes Bananas movie not a Transformers movie.
The action at the beginning was awesome but then that was pretty much it until the end.
The style and music absolutely nailed it, As a feel good film this is worth a watch.
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018)
A great comic book movie worthy of its success
I've been a Spider-man fan since I was a toddler and always love watching the movies watching the cartoons and reading the comic books so when I heard about Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018) movie I was super hyped.
This has a great fast paced story line with some great characters, the action is awesome and the music is spot on.
I love the way the story is told in a comic book style and all the references to old movies and comics.
This will tick all the boxes for the Spider-man fan.
Bird Box (2018)
A quiet place but with Bullock
Netflix do it AGAIN, another cracking movie to add to there ever growing list of must watch films.
Sandra Bullock rarely makes a bad film so when I see this pop up on Netflix I was intrigued so I watched the trailer and within seconds I was hooked.
This is a great film with an intense story line I love the way the story is told jumping back and forward. I'm not gonna give anything away but the hospital scene and the drive home absolutely nailed it.
It had a Dawn of the dead vibe to it
Venom (2018)
For any Venom fans, there is an end credit seen you will love.
As a life long comic book fan and a fan of Tom Hardy I've been looking forward to this from day one and it was worth the wait.
The story line is your standard superhero story but is cool how they do it, it's well paced and works really well with the movie.
The best thing for me was the interaction between Eddie Brock and Venom, it has enough humor to tick a box without being a comedy. The conversation between Eddie and Venom work perfectly and stay true to the comic books.
Stunning action scenes, the part with the S.W.A.T team is awesome, the bike chase is very cool and well filmed.
My only bad point was the end fight, it seemed to be over far to fast, I'd of liked to see it padded out a bit more.
Great fun action movie that I watched with a huge smile on my face, I can't wait to see it again very soon.
A Simple Favor (2018)
Simply done
It's always good to see Blake Lively in a movie add in a thriller story and you got yourself a cool movie. I'm going to be picky here as I did really like this film but didn't like the comedy edge that was added, for me it took me out of the thriller story bubble. I know the director has done a string of comedies in the past but i really wish he'd left it out of this story line.
It's still a good watch with a solid story.
Gringo (2018)
Better than the trailer suggests
A star studded fun film, enjoyable story with lots of solid characters and hard hitting dark comedy action. Charlize Theron adds lots of sex appeal as always and Sharlto Copley keeps impressing me with he's amazing acting.
The Christmas Chronicles (2018)
A must watch at Christmas
It's a well overdue proper Christmas movie that tickets all boxes to gives you that warm fuzzy Christmas feeling.
The story line is great with some very funny moments and leaves you in the mood for Christmas - Kurt Russell is brilliant as Santa and I'm now in love with Mrs Claus.
Snuggle up with the family and watch this its guaranteed to put you in the mood for Christmas.
A Landscape of Lies - Directors Cut (2011)
Good low budget movie
It's always good to step back from the Hollywood mainstream 'money is no issue movies' and watch a movie made on a low budget with a lot of passion.
The writer/director has been very public about the goings on behind the scenes so I know how much hard work went into this project and the crazy £3.000.000 Tax fraud story that overshadowed the debut film from Andrea Mclean of 'Loose Women' fame.
Looking passed the low budget and some wooden acting by a couple of the cast this was an enjoyable watch with an interesting story.
