Starring: Matt Damon, Tommy Lee Jones, Alicia Vikander, Vincent Cassel, Julia Stiles Director: Paul Greengrass I must have seen the three Bourne films about a million times. I'm not sure what about them get to me so much. I know it's partly to do with Damon as Bourne (I never bothered with the Jeremy Renner… Continue reading Jason Bourne (2016)

Tale Of Tales (2015)
Starring: Salma Hayek, Vincent Cassel, Toby Jones, John C Reilly Director: Matteo Garrone When you think of fairy tales, stories for children spring to mind: princesses, fairies, heroes. But it's easy to forget how dark those stories were in their original incarnations. In this retelling of stories from Giambattista Basile, who wrote them sometime in… Continue reading Tale Of Tales (2015)
Horror Movie Round Up: Strange Children, Haunted Houses and Psychic Experiments.
In this horror round up, we have haunted houses, government psychic investigation, empty buildings with something creeping in the basement, and plenty of people who should not go in there! (But do anyway) We Still Live Here (2015) Probably my favourite on the list, this involves a recently bereaved, middle aged couple moving into a… Continue reading Horror Movie Round Up: Strange Children, Haunted Houses and Psychic Experiments.

When they complete a job foisted on them by a gang who… Continue reading Triple 9 (2016)
105 Must See Films: Barbarella (1968)
Starring: Jane Fonda, John Phillip Law, Anita Pallenberg Directed By: Roger Vadim Innocent and sexy, this film could only come out of the psychedelic brain of the 60's, the era of flower children and free love. Based on an erotic French comic book, Barbarella (Jane Fonda) is a woman sent from Earth, to a strange… Continue reading 105 Must See Films: Barbarella (1968)
Zootopia (2016)
Starring: Ginnifer Goodwin, Jason Bateman, Idris Elba Director: Byron Howard, Rich Moore Perhaps the weirdest Disney film I've seen in a while, this film is a anthropomorphic buddy cop movie about the dangers of racism, sexism and profiling.

The House On Pine Street (2015)

Jennifer (Goss) was unsure whether… Continue reading The House On Pine Street (2015)
