All the Boys Love Mandy Lane (2006)

Picking off teenagers one by one with teenage 'issues' is uninventive to the point of cliché. The movie tries to claw it back towards the end, at which point it becomes as forgettable as it is farcical. I expected a lot more from this 18 certificate teen movie.

Following (1998)

Christopher Nolan's debut feature showcases the talent that would one day make him a highly sought after director. Decent enough foot-in-the-door effort; the low budget and weak acting do make this feel a bit dated though.

Mitch : 3 stars


Average score from Mitch means only one thing.. I wholeheartedly concur.

Dead Man's Shoes (2004)

Utterly compelling tale of bloody revenge. Shane Meadows delivers a powerful movie, with an impossibly good unhinged performance from Paddy Considine. Superb Brit flick.


4.5 stars

In Bruges (2008)

Mitch : Enjoyable black comedy revolving around two hitmen being ordered to lay low In Bruges.
3.5 stars

Janck : Thoroughly enjoyed this dark "Brit Flick", one of the best films from 2008 in my opinion..
4.5 stars

Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)

I'm already forgetting Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

Janck 2 stars







It wasn't that bad; I must admit I did chuckle a fair bit. Some nice one liners in this comedic set-up of PRP (post-relationship politics).

King of New York (1990)

Slightly disappointed in this cult gangster flick that up until now had passed me by. However, a nice cameo from a young Michael made it more than worthwhile.

3.5 stars

Scaphandre et le papillon, Le (2007) a.k.a. The Diving Bell and the Butterfly

True story adaptations are usually let downs, but this speaks volumes about everything good about foreign cinema. Emotive and very well made; highly recommended.
