I just love the whole Harry Potter thing (book 5 has been pre-ordered already), and this film was again everything I hoped it would be in many ways. I’m grieved by the continued underplaying of Snape – he simply doesn’t come across as hating Harry’s guts! Lucius Malfoy is absolutely perfect – as others have […]

You have GOT to see this film – the funniest sweetest film of 2002 by a long way! A laugh-out-loud comedy, which retains it’s subtely and empathy throughout.. You really care about the girl, and really understand what she’s going through without it settling into either sentimental rubbish or desperate cringing (although there are cringeful […]

Another very nice film – no great action, just great acting and human interaction. The basic premise is that a wash-out film director comes across some software that enable him to create an virtual actress (Simulation One), who is drop dead gorgeous and everybody immediately loves. Of course it all spirals out of control, and […]

A great action film about a super secret agent who forgets his identity and has to try and work it out, while being tracked down by the very agency which created him. Seen at Ster Century, Leeds

I have to say I was a little disappointed by this film. I’d seen all the best bits in the trailers, and I felt like Will Smith was struggling to hold the film on his own. Tommy Lee Jones is once again the man – his comic timing is faultless, and he plays off the other […]

Another Jack Ryan number – just as good, just as worth seeing! Manages to keep up the tension and excitement throughout, and it’s nice to see the familiar characters doing their piece again. Seen at Ster Century, Leeds

This is a fantastic film – raises lots of interesting questions about human rights and free-will, but is ultimately an action movie, with a heavy dose of intrigue/thrill. I enjoyed it hugely – the Speilberg/Cruise partnership has paid dividends. Seen at Ster Century, Leeds.

Awesome, awesome, awesome, awesome, AWESOME, awesome. 🙂 Probably the best film of the year for me – was instantly hooked and drawn along – I laughed, I cried, I marvelled at the cinematographer, I sat on the edge of my seat. I’m a huge fan of the Spiderman animation on TV, and I felt like […]

The Time Machine – H.G. Wells’ classic story of a man thrown into the future, where the human race has split in two. I have to say that this is actually a fairly good adaptation. The suspension of disblief is very easy – aided considerably by some of the best special effects I’ve seen for […]

Star wars – what can you say? I thought Phantom Menace was a huge disappointment, and a recent re-watch on DVD only confirmed this opinion. Clones is a different matter. I was distinctly underwhelmed on my first viewing – just seemed to be another film entirely consisting of ‘set-up’ with no substance. Anakin also completely […]
