Can You Ever Forgive Me? Review
Looking ahead to roughly plan my day off work, I figured I might visit the cinema for the first time in 2019. 9am cinema visits aren’t usually my forte, but I felt compelled to support […]

The Transformers: The Movie Review
I’m going to disappoint some of you I’m afraid. First off, what an awkward title! It doesn’t read well at all. Knock off the first ‘The’, and we’re in business. I do love to read […]

Super Duper Stuff – Double Indemnity
Super Duper Chris Cooper, talking about Super Duper Stuff, on Super Duper Stuff! Double Indemnity is intoxicating, dangerous, and sexy. It wasn’t just a landmark movie when it was released in 1944, but continues to […]

If you liked Taken, with its decent cast, memorable phrases, and how it showed that Liam Neeson is the man… then you shouldn’t like Taken 3. The violence is neutered, the story ridiculous and the […]

Escape Plan Review
I originally reviewed Escape Plan in 2014, and I wasn’t terribly forgiving. Whilst not planning on ever seeing it again, I now have! I don’t always remember which films I’ve reviewed, which got me thinking. […]
