Fast X is just…inane…a pulsing headache of a film….awful. Everything crashes into everything which then blows up. Vin Diesel plays a stultifying, monosyllabic bore. There’s lots and lots and lots of...

Black Adam is a detestable turd of a film. A tiresome, swilling CGI soup, with a dull and utterly predictable plot. Did I say plot? That’s praise too far.

There is no character in it worth...

All Quiet on the Western Front was awful. Relentlessly and repulsively gory, unredeemingly depressing. A kind of non-story, just a plodding, slow, dull descent into hell.

Saving Private Ryan...

Prey was much better than expected.

(And Grey Man was unwatchable...simply awful.)

A Star is Born (Spoilers) For a love story it fired a solid blank, with zero chemistry between the leads. Lady Gaga can sing, but we knew that already, and she’d be a daft casting if she couldn’t....

Black Panther. What’s all the hoopla about? A bit so what innit?

Lady Macbeth. Very good, very dark.

Yup, Baby Driver.

Smooth, sassy and smoking' hot. Basically a music video, even the dialogue has rythym, with car chases. Wonderful driving and chase choreography. A crime caper with genuine heart.

Another recommendation for Arrival. Best film of the year. A clever, sensitive, subtle, intelligent sci-fi film at last, with an award-worthy central performance from Any Adams.

The Shallows. exhausting!

Midnight Special. A dad and his son are on the run. But the son is very far from normal. Original and, I thought, pretty damn good.

The Revenant. Finally got around to this. Not exactly a fun...

It's a terrible film! Count yourself lucky that she has better taste than you!

Fury is outstanding.

Brutal, moving and very, very tense.

Don't expect Saving Private Ryan…it's much better than that.

Philomena.

Simply amazing. Shattering, moving, charming….never mawkish or saccherine (and it so easily could have been in lesser hands) and Steve Coogan is an utter revelation.
