John Wick - 2015
Enjoyable revenge film. Uncertain whether the film suited Keanu Reeves wooden acting as the moody, monosylabyllic titular character or he actually delivers a decent acting job.

I'd give it 8/10

The Hurricane (1999)

Not bad and worth a watch but it's not on par with some of Denzel's best like Training Day, Philadelphia and John Q

Spotlight.. 9/10.

Definitely should win best picture. Excellent ensemble performance but notably Liev Schreiber, Mark Ruffalo and Michael Keaton. Stanley Tucci was great as well.

Terrible subject matter

Did you need to freeze frame the last scene to check something that was kinda not made very clear ?

Transcendence - 5.5/10 Entertaining, though I didn't quite get why

Kadoyng [1972]. Director: Ian Shand

3/10

Silly Sc-Fi from the Children's Film Foundation

*******
The Monkey's Uncle [1965]. Director: Robert Stevenson

6/10

Actually it's a chimp but that wouldn't have made for such a catchy title. The Beach Boys appear in the opening scene as backing band to Disney starlet Annette Funicello.

*******
Ain't them Bodies Saints [2013]. Director: David Lowery

7/10

Casey Affleck as an escaped convict mumbling his way across Texas to reunite with his wife and child.

*******
Alexander [2004]. Director: Oliver Stone

5/10

Colin Farrell plays Alexander the Great with an Irish accent and most of the Americans in the cast feel obliged to do the same.

The Big Short - 6/10

Okay but not as good as I was expecting given the hype. There are some strong performances (Bale and Carell) but I found elements of the the direction, editing and sound design quite annoying.

The Last House On The Left (2009) - 2/10

Enduring the 45-50 minute snuff movie-esque sequence (which wasn't scary) at the beginning of the film proved not to be worth it. An unoriginal home invasion type film not worth bothering with.

Jersey Boys (2014) 7/10

Not bad. For a music biopic, it tried to be a bit too deep for it's own good. At it's best when they started singing.

The Green Mile 1999 10/10 .... .Mystical Spiritiral , Moving Emotional

Battle Beneath The Earth ..1967... 6/10 silly but entertaining cold war film...Some of the Chinese charactors played by American actors with very poor make up is so funny !

Local Hero. 1983..10/10 .... a sheer delight ! with a very young Peter Capaldi (Dr Who) in one of his first films !

Creed (2015) - 4/10

Pedestrian Nike advert where "the best pound for pound fighter in the world" had moobs!

Gets an extra point as I liked the fact that the set decorator Amanda Carroll gave Rocky a retro push button tupperware lid for his kitchen.

Look out for it to save your mind wandering during the film.

Spotlight -well made, well acted, worthy and refreshingly free of oscar baiting dramatics.

Having said that I think I would have preferred to watch a documentary on the subject matter. It was just too uninvolving to hold this viewers attention 7/10

The Shawshank Redemption - a great movie but not one of the greatest movies ever made, it has a universal appeal though much like A Wonderful Life and is always worth a watch every few years. 9/10
