RUDY TYLER MAM!!
I have decided that it might be fun to revisit some of the films that I used to watch regularly when I was a kid to see if they still hold up today. Space Camp was one such film, when my family got their first video player in 1987, it was one of those films, along with Short Circuit, Vice Versa, Flight of the Navigator etc that the patrons of Global Video used to regularly fight over.…
Steven Spielberg's 34th theatrical release is part family melodrama, part love letter to cinema. What it definitely is, is 100% the most personal film Spielberg has ever made.
I always feel I need to be really careful when reviewing Spielberg films, as I make no secret of my adoration of the man's work, and a new film by him is more exciting to me than any Christmas Day could hope to be. Therefore, I feel a sense of responsibility to…
In many ways, The Lion King is the peak of the unofficial Disney Renaissance period. It's sheer enormity of scale, brilliant characters and, let's be honest, absolute banger after banger of tunes means that every box is ticked here. In my mind, this is probably the best Disney Classic since The Jungle Book, eclipsing even Aladdin and Beauty and the Beast.
The story itself is simple enough, loosely based on Hamlet of all things, but its execution is staggering at…
We've all had that dream where we are being chased and no matter how much effort we put into running away we slowly get stuck into the quicksand and can't move, meaning our assailant is constantly closing in on us, well that is The Terminator in a nutshell.
I first saw The Terminator in about 1989 at a School charity 12-hour football event. I was about 11-12 years old at the time and to raise some money for good causes…
Saint Maud is an unsettling, disturbing and strangely humourous debut from writer/director Rose Glass. It is anchored by an unflinching performance from Morfydd Clark as the eponymous Maud, a recent convert to Roman Catholicism who is attempting to hide her troubled past.
It is quite the slow burner which for a film that clocks in at just shy of 90 minutes is quite an achievement, but despite its rather ponderous set up it's never dull and is intriguing from the…
A first-time watch for me. Not only is this the first time I have watched Annie Hall, I think this is only the second Woody Allen film I have seen (the other one was the rather nondescript 1998 Celebrity). Allen has always been a blind spot in my film-watching. No particular reason for that, I just haven't watched many of his.
I am a big When Harry Met Sally fan and over the years I have heard that it and…
