The Damned United (2009)
A few years ago I read The Damned United and found it a fascinating read. Written by David Peace, it gave an account of the bizarre 44 days that football manager Brian Clough spent trying to run Leeds United, a team he had no affection for. The main attraction for Clough was the chance to [...]

The Grey (2012)
Into the maw of desperation Joe Carnahan likes to make movies that never let up. He had fun with Smokin’ Aces and the A Team remake. Now he’s really serious again as he was in his soulful, grim debut feature, Narc. Narc was a bad cop story that went down some cruel roads hunting for a...

Stay Cool (2009)
You can take the man out of high school, but you can’t take high school out of the man. That’s the principle this movie seems based on. Well, in fact you can’t even take the man out of high school. Henry McCarthy graduated from a small-town high school twenty years ago. Now he is an [...]

Swimming With Sharks (1994)
An acerbic look at office politics in the ruthless movie business, Swimming With Sharks works well because it’s not just a film all about the ins and outs of making movies. It’s a film that many people will be able to identify with, in varying degrees. It’s a film that centres around that thing...

Hostel: Part III (2011)
Hostel had some fun-seeking lads stuck in a very nasty situation and tortured in very painful ways. Hostel: Part II was pretty much the same deal, but with women on the receiving end during most of the set-pieces. So it’s no surprise to find that Hostel: Part III is a mixture of the two. It’s...

Air Force One (1997)
Well, I could push my luck here and try to label Air Force One as an entertaining political thriller but everyone already knows, I think, that it’s just an enjoyable action romp that happens to use the President Of The United States as the lead character. Yet I can’t help but point out that...

Man Of The Year (2006)
Jon Stewart. Stephen Colbert. Jay Leno. Could you imagine any of those men one day becoming President of the United States of America? There are many people that will tell you politics is already one big joke so why not let a comedian loose in the White House? A lot of humour contains truth and [...]

Baba Yaga (1973)
Baba Yaga, also known in English as Kiss Me, Kill Me, is one of those bizarre horror movies that came out from Italy in the 1970s with total disregard for traditional film conventions. In its defiance, not to mention deconstructionist mockery, of basic elements film viewers take for granted, such as...

J. Edgar (2011)
Following the huge successes of Catch Me if You Can, The Aviator and now J. Edgar – and with a rumoured Sinatra biopic in the works – Leonardo DiCaprio may be giving Michael Sheen a run for his money as a one-man biopic powerhouse. His turn in Clint Eastwood’s latest movie, playing the charming...
