Lethal Weapon 3 7/25/14
by Daniel M
Now, having watched this film, I would consider my rating for the first film even more generous.
Brighton Rock 7/24/14
by Daniel M
The film opens with onscreen text that gives us our setting for the film, the British seaside town of Brighton, and sets the tone of what to come, letting us know that it will be focusing on the dark side of the British criminal world that lies beneath the sunny little town.
Dr. No 7/24/14
by Daniel M
And watching this film again, it is clear that half a century has resulted in significant changes to the style of film and character of Bond himself, for better or worse?
The Shining 3/11/14
by Daniel M
The tracking camera shots used in the film are great, and I have no idea why Kubrick was nominated for a Razzie award for his direction, some of my favourite shots are when the young boy Danny travels through various hallways on his toy vehicle, in almost all Kubrick's films he places the camera ver...
12 Years a Slave 1/16/14
by Daniel M
Lupita Nyng'o is the character used to be on the receiving end of Fassbender's character's horrible treatment, and she does it very convincingly, I was impressed with her performance and would say that she displays suffering much great than Ejiofor who I didn't care about as much once he reached Fas...
Inside Llewyn Davis 1/16/14
by Daniel M
The Coen Brothers have made many great films, and this is right up there at the very top, it might just be their greatest and most honest human study, its a film that manages to be both beautiful and tragic, and you can not help but really feel the journey that Llewyn Davis goes on.
Silver Linings Playbook 8/08/13

The film is not perfect in terms of story, at times the plot does seem a little bit silly or unlikely, such as the bet towards the end, but as I said near the beginning of the review, that is not very important and can be excused as it gives us a reason to spend two hours with these wonderful likeab...
Rango 7/24/13
by Daniel M
I feel though that Verbinskis first ever feature film Mousehunt can be better compared to Rango, a family comedy about a pesty rodent who refuses to leave a house in a Home Alone style comedy of errors from those attempting to get rid of the mouse, like Rango it can be categorised as a family film ...
American Psycho 7/24/13
by Daniel M
Adapted from a best selling novel of the same name, the films female director ensures that the film is something more than a piece of entertainment where we watch the actions of an insane man on a killing spree.
Moneyball 5/20/13
by Daniel M
The film works because it's a true story, when the underdog battles and triumphs we feel joy, and also sorry for Billy Beane who whichever way you look at it has changed the face of a sport entirely (at least in the context of the film, but I believe in real life too), there is a scene towards t...
