The Equalizer (2014)
Pretty cool, simple shorty and straight to the point... Not only did he take out every Russian monster in New York, he even flew over to Moscow and took out the boss. What a guy! 4/5
Trading Places (1983)
A must to watch at Christmas time. My favourite Christmas film. John Landis said in an Interview that America doesn't think of Trading Places as a Christmas film, but it sure is.
It's a film that keeps on giving, every time I watch it I see something new... This time is was a young Gus Fring from Breaking Bad in prison.
A superb film which gets better the more you watch it. 5/5
Kill Dil (2014)
Kill Dil, not Bill... Not s bad Bollywood film but this was different from other Bollywood films, the storyline wasn't great but the soundtrack was awesome. No wonder the BBC Asian Network keeps playing the song below. 3/5
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014)
A brilliant film, plenty of action and comedy, a perfect remake of the original cartoon. Cowabunga dude! 5/5
The Maze Runner (2014)
It's pretty cool and on par with Cube with more explanation. Part of me wanted the film to end without the explanation. 4/5
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 (2013)
Pow, Pow, Peta, Peta, Pow, Pow, President Snow, Pow, Mockingjay, Pow, Peta, District 13, Pow, Peta, 3/5
Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)
Assault on Wall Street (2013)
After Prison Break, Linc settles down, shit goes bad during the recession and he goes on a GTA style killing spree. Sweet 4/5
Delivery Man (2003)
Started off good but it was a different Vince Vaughn film, less of the whitty one liners and more of the deep meaningful family story. Preferred Old School 3/5
Turbo (2013)
What a brilliant film! It's actually better than the fast and the furious films, how is that possible? My kids love it and I've seen it 15 times now and counting 5/5
Lucy (2014)
What the heck did I just watch? It started off great, bit of a mystery but ended on a real surreal high and she ended up turning into a USB memory stick!! 3/5
Brick Mansions (2014)
I love these 90 minute action films, they are straight to the point and no messing about. RZA is awesome and it's sad that it's Paul Walkers last full film. 3/5
Dhoom 3 (2013)
If there's ever a franchise that's more ridiculous and over the top than The Expendables it's this. Doom 3 is so over the top the writers mush have been smoking some serious stuff.
Anyways.. Apart from being over the top I really enjoyed the film even though the story was exactly the same as *Spoilers* The Prestige. 3/5
American Hustle (2013)
How can a film with so many great actors be so rubbish? The story was boring, the blog was lame and the twist is predictable from the cover. 1/5
Ride Along (2014)
Quite funny, has it's moments. Kevin Hart looks tiny next to Ice Cube, I'd hate to see him next to The Rock. 3/5
X-Men (2000)
Dated now but it was a great film at the time. I remember watching it when it came out... A great start to the X franchise 3/5
Frozen (2013)
12:01 (1993)
Another Time Loop film which was based on the 30min short. It's very dated and quite obviously made for TV. Still the concept works and the story is pretty good. It even has a staring role for Mr Selfridge himself - Jeremy Piven! 3/5
Repeaters (2010)
I absolutely love Time Loop films... The theory behind the Groundhog Day style really fascinates me. This is a great film with a brilliant twist at the end. 4/5
Old School (2003)
Frank The Tank! Frank The Tank! Frank The Tank! Frank The Tank!
We're going streakinggggg!
Hey Snoop, Snoopaloop
Still is and always be my favourite comedy film. 5/5
Primer (2004)
p.s. this image below helps explain how the Box works. 4/5
22 Jump Street (2014)
Just brilliant! funny, funny and then funny again. Ice Cube really comes into his own in this film. it's stupid, wacky and way over the top but I wouldn't expect anything else for Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum 5/5
The Internship (2013)
The Matrix (1999)

Still brilliant, still epic! 15 years on and it doesn't look too dated... It's still holding it's own. It will always be one of my all time favs.
X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014)
The perfect continuation from First Class and The Wolverine. Time Travel, Robots, Patrick Stewart... What's not to love? 5/5
X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)
It's great to finally see a backstory to Logan and it ties in nicely with the rest of the X-Men world. Wolverine is still the best character! 4/5
X-Men: First Class (2011)
A brilliant film, I've been avoiding any more X-Men films as I thought they had been done to death but this is different, it's almost relaunched the brand. I can't wait to see Days of Future Past. 5/5
The Raid: Redemption (2011)
Has it really been 2 years since I saw this? It would explain why I forgot about so many awesome scenes. Still epic, still fantastic and I look forward to The Raid 2. 5/5
Previous Review
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014)
Wow! Visually stunning and a perfect continuation from the first film. I feel it's still too soon from the Toby Maguire franchise but this is standing on it's own two feel nicely. 5/5
Planes (2013)
A great family film and a perfect continuation (sort of) from Cars. My kids will love this film when they're a bit older! 4/5
Man of Steel (2013)
Superb! I've seen Man of steel a few times and and it's still amazing! With a great reboot, cast and story this has to get 5/5.
The Killing Room (2009)
Wow this was boring. I normally love these kind of experiment films but there was nothing here. I've already forgotten what happened. 2/5
The Seven Year Itch (1955)

It's quite an iconic film as it contained one of Marilyn Monroe's most famous scenes. The Subway Dress

Otherwise the film is ok but clearly dated, people talking to themselves.. Seems a bit odd now but I imagine it to be perfectly normal in the 50's. I'm glad I've watched it as I can now see how modern day films have captured ideas and inspirations from these classics. 3/5
Some Like It Hot (1959)

Surprisingly, I've never seen a Marilyn Monroe film before and what a way to start! Some Like it hot is an absolute classic with a great cast and story. 4/5
Coming To America (1988)

The Muppets (2011)
It's actually a good film and great for kids. It had my son glued for at least 15 minutes. The cast is great (real people and muppets).
I stand by my previous review that if you suspend disbelief in reality then you'll actually enjoy the film. 3/5
Go (1999)

IMDB rated Go 7.3 which isn't bad for an IMDB rating, but to me, it's 10/10 or 5/5. That's the beauty of rating my own films as they are all relative to me and the time I watched them.
I first watched Go back in 1999 in the cinema and it brings back great memories of the of a simpler time.
Go was groundbreaking at the time with a new concept of film where the same story was shown from different peoples perspective.
With some brilliant dialogue and an awesome cast it has to be 5/5
P.S. I've still got the VHS original of the film
Her (2013)
This is a unique and surprisingly relatable film.
It's set slightly in the future. Far enough ahead to feel futuristic, but not so far that you're wondering why everyone isn't flying around in hovercars or living on Mars. In fact, a lot of it feels more relevant today than it probably did when it was released.
At its heart, Her isn't really about artificial intelligence at all.
It's about loneliness.
Theodore is a guy who's a bit down in the dumps, struggling with relationships and searching for companionship. The AI side of the story is almost secondary. It's simply the vehicle used to explore how people connect with each other and what happens when those connections aren't quite enough.
Of course, it helps that the AI happens to be Scarlett Johansson's and not Clippy from Microsoft Office.
Joaquin Phoenix is brilliant as Theodore. The character reminded me of a slightly less nerdy Leonard Hofstadter from The Big Bang Theory. The sort of bloke you'd happily have a coffee with, but who you'd also gently encourage to leave the house occasionally.
What I liked most was how believable the whole thing felt. The technology might be futuristic, but the emotions aren't. Most people can relate to feeling lonely, wanting companionship or trying to fill a gap in their life.
The film asks some interesting questions about relationships, technology and human connection without ever feeling preachy.
It's thoughtful, funny, a little sad and occasionally uncomfortable.
In short, a guy falls in love with Siri and she dumps him.
4/5
Sinister (2012)
To be honest it's been a couple of months since I saw the film and I can't remember what it's about. I remember it being good though. 3/5
