High and Low 1963
When an executive of a shoe company is extorted into paying ransom for the kipnapped son of his driver. He is forced to chose between his dream to own a majority shareholding of the company, or to pay the ransom to save the boy but be put into a huge debt and lose his job, his house and his lifelong dream.
Let me first start this by saying, happy birthday Toshiro Mifune (1920 - 1997) Who would have been 101…

Le Cercle Rouge 1970
Directed by Jean-Piere Melville and featuring french superstar Alain Delon, Le Cercle Rouge is a jaw dropping masterpiece in the crime thriller genre and easily one of the greatest films to ever come out of France. Drawing inspiration from films like Dassin's 'Rififi' (1955) and Godard's 'Breathless' (1960), Le Cercle Rouge is a masterclass in writing, design and storytelling.
Melville purpusefully takes it time setting things up before eventually moving into it's main attraction in the second half. But i…

Spaceballs 1987
There is just no way to express just how much i hated this crap. Well actually there is, its the half star rating i'm giving this trash. This is the first half star rating i've ever given to any movie, that should probably tell you all you need you know.
Yes it really is that bad and insufferable, just writing this and thinking about it makes me sick. But mostly it makes me incredibly mad, mad that this actually got made, and mad at myself because i chose to sit through this shit.
Seriously fuck you Spaceballs.

Ashes and Diamonds 1958
A very powerful film about the crisis of conscience of a man and the hypocrisy of the world he lives in post World War II Poland. Cybulski's 'Maciek' is not a complicated character but he is a well written one, and Maciek's presence on screen is as engrossing as is disheartening. Pawlikoski's 'Adrzej' is a welcome friend and college, and they form a strong duo. When they reminisce over past lives and fallen college's, it leaves a big impression. The…

Dune 2021
Finally the wait is over..
I will probably be seen as bias (and maybe i am) cause i'm a big fan of the original Frank Herbert novel, which i've read 3 times in the past six years or so plus also listened to the amazing audiobook. But really, what an incredible powerful film Dune (part one) has become. I was honestly quite worried as it is a difficult story to film. Which has allready been tried in the past (to…
