Film and TV

Johnny Handsome may not be top-tier Walter Hill (The Warriors and Streets of Fire being 2 of my particular favourites of his), but it is a lean and entertaining neo-noir

This is the best Troy has ever looked and a highly recommended upgrade. Just make sure you put aside either two-and-three-quarter hours or well over three hours, depending on which cut you choose.

A recommended watch for some timeless silly humour…insert rockin’ air guitar lick here.

Dead Man’s Shoes is definitely not a ‘Netflix and chill’ film, it is unashamedly uncompromising and hard hitting, leaving you collecting your thoughts as the end credits roll.

Killer Party blends 2 popular movie genres of the 80s; the slasher movie & the college movie, though doesn’t really shine in either of them.

Some films are made for high definition, and The Name of the Rose is one of them.

I do think If Besson had picked a better actress to play the part of Joan this would be a wholly different film.

The problem(s) with Chum is not that it’s a story we’ve all seen before…I can forgive that in a movie if it is done well enough. It’s that it’s all a bit…well, crap really.

This new Warner release on 4 K UHD is gorgeous; the sets, especially in the orgy house, remind me of Kubrick’s Barry Lyndon

It’s funny, it’s poignant, it’s inspiring, and it’s also a little bit stressful just to watch as everything unfolds before Anthony and he has to take it all in his stride and get the movie completed.

Highly recommended.
