Based on the 1960s series of the same name The Man from U.N.C.L.E. directed and written by Guy Ritchie, so right away you know you’re in for a quirky film.

No spoilers here, just an enthusiastic recommendation for you to buy and watch this wonderful film. This is not a love story, it’s a life story, a soul story and yes it may have some extremely violent scenes in it, it has to be one of the best (along with I Saw The Devil) films to come out of Korea.

The intricacies and emotion in this are truly astounding and it is hands down, one of the best nature documentaries I have ever seen. It’s just beautiful, and you’d think watching a film for 90 mins about a tree would be hard work, but it is as exciting as any Bond film.

I can only describe this as a sort of mixture of Beetlejuice and every Gothy type teeny series on Netflix – like Sabrina and Wednesday, but with a darker (rapey, murdery) edge.

Directed by Euzan Palcy and co-written by Colin Welland, based upon André Brink’s novel, A Dry White Season was made in a time when Apartheid was still in place in South Africa.

There comes a point in the film where I asked Mr 60MWto turn it off, as I didn’t want to see anymore…but I was glued to the screen. What followed was an hour of absolute anguish, horror and trepidation.

The Promised Land (or ‘Bastarden’) couples together director by Nikolaj Arcel (A Royal Affair) and Mads Mikkelsen in another superior Danish Historical epic. 

It stars Jake Gyllenhaal as U.S. Army Captain Colter Stevens, who is sent into an eight-minute virtual re-creation of a real-life train explosion, tasked with determining the identity of the terrorist who bombed it.

This is a story of the heart, with so many laugh out loud moments, it’s the perfect Christmas film, not in the schmaltzy sickening sugary way, but rather a tale of what it is to be human, with all our hopes and dreams and frailties.
