Match Point – Movie Review
I only got around to seeing this 2005 Woody Allen film about a year ago when it was on the telly box – Match Point is set in London, England, where everyone is frightfully posh and plays tennis or goes…

Mike’s Micro Movie Reviews – Episode 3
Cemetery Junction Cemetery Junction Really enjoyed this. Reckon it must be the best movie Ricky Gervais has done – the stories behind ‘Ghost Town’ and ‘The Invention of Lying’ along with bad reviews put me off so much I didn’t…
Total Recall (2012) – Movie Review
It’s hard to believe that Paul Verhoeven’s 1990 original Total Recall with Arnold Schwarzenegger was released more than 30 years ago; it really doesn’t feel that long ago, although I would have been far to young to watch it back…

Now I won’t lie, I was very late to the party with this one. It actually took me a few years to get around to seeing it. In all honesty I think I was put off by the original trailer…
Predators – Movie Review
