Bohemian Rhapsody – the film
I had been looking forwards to this. Queen were a great band, the reviews had been enthusiastic, but the experience of watching it fell short of my expectations. The entire film felt contrived, a construct by Brian May and … Continue reading
Gravity 3D- Vacuous in a a vacuum
Don’t believe the hype. I went to see this film wanting to enjoy it. I like space movies, think it is an underrepresented genre currently, and thought that a big budget with Clooney and Bullock would guarantee a worthwhile film. … Continue reading

East of Sudan
Judging this film forty eight years after release requires some care. In 1964 it pandered to the escapism that cinema goers still relished, echoed days of colonial glory which were rapidly fading and offered a glimpse of the exotic before … Continue reading

Mission Impossible – Ghost Protocol
This is the fourth in the Mission Impossible series and it reboots the concept, rivalling the first instalment, and is far better than Missions Two and Three. The choice of Brad Bird as Director was risky, inspired, and has paid … Continue reading

Get Him to the Greek
A dreadful unfunny mess for which Director Nicholas Stoller should take full responsibility . Russell Brand is a charismatic talent, Jonah Hill who plays opposite him as record company executive Aaron Green is not. The equal billing and screen time … Continue reading

The Inbetweeners Movie
I should declare my interest as a huge fan of the television series which surely ranks as one of the best comedies in recent years. Its skill lies in the writing . Although it is set in the present, it … Continue reading

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows
I thoroughly enjoyed the first Sherlock Holmes and approached this sequel with optimistic anticipation- only to be very disappointed. A budget that had doubled, multiple locations, and the confidence of a well received first instalment should have proved a solid … Continue reading

The Rise of the Planet of the Apes
I am pretty neutral about the Planet of the Apes series. A nice idea, but not essential viewing. So I approached this instalment with low expectations – and was pleasantly surprised. It re-imagines the start of the story in a … Continue reading

The Expendables
Sly Stallone has been in a lot of films in his career, most have been poor, a few ( Copland, Cliffhanger, Rambo First Blood and Rocky) have been good. This is another addition to the poor list. The power of … Continue reading

No One Could Protect Her
An empty crowd pleaser that plays to just too may galleries. This story, based on fact is of a woman attacked and raped in her own home. Unusually, the rapist returns to silence her, and as it becomes apparent that … Continue reading
