American Hustle Review

Well, after seeing American Hustle the other day I can safely say that I have found my new favourite film of the year (if we go by the American release date). I know; I said the exact same thing when I saw Gravity and I’ll probably say the exact same thing when I see The Wolf Of […]

My Creative Ramblings Best of 2013

Jack’s Best of 2013 Before 2013 is truly finished with, I decided to make a spur-of-the-moment list of the best things of this year. Here goes! Mostly spoiler free, but be wary of The Walking Dead spoilers! Best Movie Winner – Rush This was so difficult but in the end it really came down to 2 […]

Gravity (2013) Review

“So, what do you like about being up here?” Well, that’s it, Gravity is my favourite film of the year so far, it is that good. And it is definitely one to see in cinemas, there’s no doubt about that. If possible see it in IMAX 3D as well. I know, I know, it’s a lot more […]

Thor: The Dark World Review

This review contains SPOILERS! I’m not sure Thor (2011) was anyone’s favourite Marvel film. It was great, and I know it’s loved by a lot of people including myself, but I don’t think it was many people’s favourite. How does Thor: The Dark World compare to the rest of the Marvel movie universe? Thor 2 starts off with some heavy exposition, […]

Killing Them Softly Review

Movies like Killing Them Softly don’t come around often enough. And judging from the fact that it didn’t do too well at the box office, I’d say it’ll be a while before we see another this unique. Films like these aren’t often made in mainstream cinema, these films have dark, central characters who you either don’t […]

Rush Review

Rush is a spectacular film. A film chronicling the rivalry between two of Formula 1’s most interesting personalities. Directed by double Oscar winner Ron Howard, Rush thrills until the credits roll, and is not a film just for F1 enthusiasts. Here’s my review. Rush revolves around the rivalry between Brit James Hunt and Austrian Niki Lauda, the biggest stars […]

Con Air (1997) Review

“Put the bunny back in the box.” Nicolas Cage had a good run of films in the nineties and after the critical successes of films like Wild At Heart and Leaving Las Vegas, Cage reinvented himself with a run of action films. The next three films Cage was in are perhaps three of my all time favourite films; The Rock, […]

8MM (1999) Review

Ok so lets talk about 8MM. The film is directed by Joel Schumacher. Joel Schumacher of Batman and Robin fame. Upon going on Metacritic to see the reviews of this film I found it actually has less than Batman and Robin. Let that sink in, if the reviews are to be believed then this film is worse than the famous shitty Batman and Robin. But it’s much better, and also has Nicolas Cage.

Snake Eyes (1998) Review

“You’ve got snake eyes.” Yaaay! It’s Nicolas Cage time! Snake Eyes comes from my favourite era of the master’s work, the 1990’s. In this decade you had some downright excellent action films like The Rock, Con Air and Face/Off (not to mention his Oscar win). In the 90’s you could hardly move for all the Nicolas Cage. I feel Snake Eyes is […]

Skyfall Review

It seemed silly to re-do my review of Skyfall, seeing as I’d already reviewed it right here!! Skyfall is a brilliant movie, and a brilliant Bond film as well. It’s near perfect for me. It’s got the right mixture of quips and a good story, two things that I think the previous two films were missing respectively. […]
