Death at a Funeral (2007)
This is as near perfect as you can get for a quirky British comedy. It is all the right ingredients, a very believable setup, ordinary characters in an extraordinary situation, … Continue Reading Death at a Funeral (2007)
Ted 2 (2015)
I was nearly a fan of the first outing with the talking bear, that we know and love as Ted. The premise was a nice gimmick on the genre usually … Continue Reading Ted 2 (2015)
Sam Whiskey (1969)
This another one of those movies that only hit your radar if you find yourself couch bound, ill and you are at the mercy of the day time TV programming. … Continue Reading Sam Whiskey (1969)
Smokey and the Bandit (1977)
This period of cinema was a golden age for a young boy growing up who was fascinated with cars and the first ever social network, the good old CB radio. … Continue Reading Smokey and the Bandit (1977)
About Time (2013)
Richard Curtis strikes gold once again with his time traveling romantic comedy. In the same vein as Love Actually / Noting Hill / Four Weddings, About Time stands shoulder to shoulder … Continue Reading About Time (2013)
In the Loop (2009)
How do you describe Malcolm Tucker to the world? How do you describe a fowl mouth, intimidating, shouty Scottish government spin doctor in a way that properly articulates the side … Continue Reading In the Loop (2009)
Trainwreck (2015)
I will confess to not running towards this movie with any great speed. I had seen the trailers and it wasn’t turning me towards it. But I was recommended to … Continue Reading Trainwreck (2015)
Music and Lyrics (2007)
Full confession, I am a big Hugh Grant fan. Ever since he bumbled onto our screens in Four Weddings (I know he had roles before that hit), he has been a … Continue Reading Music and Lyrics (2007)
The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (2015)
I was really looking forward to this Guy Ritchie remake of the 1960′s TV series of the same name. I caught this movie in preview back when it was released before … Continue Reading The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (2015)
Office Space (1999)
This 16 year old gem was not an immediate hit when it first came out. Mike Judge (Beavis and Butthead fame) wrote and directed this story about a young mans … Continue Reading Office Space (1999)
Shakespeare in Love (1998)
I remember the first time I seen this movie. It was the opening weekend in Leicester Square, London and the whole place was decked out in a very Shakespearean theme. … Continue Reading Shakespeare in Love (1998)
Calvary (2014)
I am such a huge fan of Brendan Gleeson and for that reason I keep an eye on his output. A lot of his movies don’t make the mainstream press … Continue Reading Calvary (2014)
Ocean’s Eleven (2001)
So after 3 nights in Las Vegas what better movie to watch on the flight home than Ocean’s Eleven – the Clooney/Pitt version. I do have the original rat pack … Continue Reading Ocean’s Eleven (2001)
Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994)
Hard to believe this movie is 21 years old, yet still as funny, sharp and clever as the first day it was viewed. You wouldn’t think this would age terribly … Continue Reading Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994)
The Last Boy Scout (1991)
Bruce Willis after 2 Die Hard movies takes on another over-the-top action movie but this time as down and out detective, Joe, working in LA. He is hired to look after … Continue Reading The Last Boy Scout (1991)
Kelly’s Heroes (1970)
