I love Tom Cruise. There, I’ve said it. The break-up of Tom-Kat seems to have sparked another round of Tom Cruise bashing in the media.

My Rating: About my rating system I knew very little about Remember Me before watching it so the end came as a complete shock, despite the fact that in retrospect I can see there were clear clues to the final event throughout the film. Sometimes I'm attuned to these things, not this time. Robert … read more

I’ve decided to start writing some short movie reviews on here. I’ve got quite a large DVD collection, most of of which I’ve now copied on to my Apple TV set-up. In my geekness, I’ve got movies stored on a couple of external hard disks connected to my wireless router so that I can stream them … read more

There was only one real contender for my favourite film release of 2008, and that is... In Bruges was easily the most enjoyable film that I've seen since Last King of Scotland. The wordplay in particular between Colin Farrell's character - Ray, and Brendan Gleeson's character - Ken, represents a … read more

Being a rather geeky James Bond fan I was very much looking forward to the Quantum of Solace.

Unlike … read more
