Man Up (2015)
This was a movie I never knew existed until I stumbled upon it in a list of Simon Pegg movies for 2015. Having no idea what it was about, I had a quick look at the trailer and was intrigued. A British romantic comedy that isn’t written by Richard Curtis? What an interesting concept. I wonder if that would work So what is our setup here? Well, familiar territory to…

Magic Mike XXL (2015)
I recall watching the first Magic Mike movie and remember enjoying it at the time. However, I am somewhat at a loss as to what it was. I need to go back to it at some point in this yearly movie marathon I have embarked on. Because, after watching XXL, I can’t remember it being this tongue’n’cheek and frankly, brilliant. XXL was a complete riot from start to finish.…

Dirty Dancing (1987)
My 40th review in this series and we land here. Aaah, You’ve had the time of your life, happy memories. This dancing genre has so many casualties with way more misses than hits. Dirty Dancing, however, can proudly be ranked up there at the top with the likes of Flashdance and Footloose. This Oscar award winning (for the original song) movie is chock full of toe-tapping numbers that keeps…

Waking Ned Devine (1998)
If you loved Local Hero then you will love this tale of a village set in western Ireland, who discover that one of the 50 odd residents has won the lottery. However at first they don’t know who, but soon discover it is the one person that didn’t come to the party. Poor man had died – of shock that he had won that much money. Knowing that poor Ned…

Air America (1990)
The first time I seen this movie in a theater in Suchiehall Street Glasgow, when I was at university and I recall laughing my ass off. I let this one sit and age on the shelf and with a little nervousness I dusted off the cover and took it for another spin. Fortunately it has aged very well. Mel Gibson plays Gene, a seasoned pilot flying in the Air America unit…

Tomorrowland (2015)
Oh Disney, where did this go so wrong? You have such talent available at your finger tips, such vision, huge resources, and this is the best you can do? A disjointed, mess of a movie, with a story line that only “clicks” about 10 minutes from the end, and I say click barely. I actually don’t know how to describe the storyline, because I am still unsure myself what it was…

Up in the Air (2009)

He is at his happiest when he is in his natural habitat “All the things you probably hate…

Black Sea (2014)
Jude Law heads up this rag tag crew of submariners, that lease an old Russian sub, to go and find some lost World War 2 gold in the Black Sea. A sort of Kelley’s Heroes but underwater. Robinson (Law) is an Aberdonian (Aberdeen, Scotland) is a veteran of the merchant seas recently sacked from his firm that he, and his crew, have devoted a significant amount of their careers to. Without…
the leg-end that is, Alan Williamson.
For over 20 years, I’ve shared my thoughts whenever the muse strikes. It’s unpredictable, honest, unedited, and occasionally witty. I’m living the best years of my life, working harder than ever, and enjoying every second.
