I want new Nolan. I don't want old and have seen it before Nolan.

Reality Bites (1994)

One lime

[5/10 · 6 July 2020]

Lost me halfway through when the characters started to make unmotivated and unrealistic decisions.

13th (2016)

One lime

[9/10 · 12 June 2020]

A shock to the system, delivered by a master film maker who has a complete control of everything inside her frame.

Black '47 (2018)

One lime

[5/10 · 14 May 2020]

When you've got no love for the main character it's hard to keep my interest. However, I applaud the production.

Extraction (2020)

One lime

[6/10 · 5 May 2020]

Vanity project for all involved, but it does produce some pretty cool action.

Office Uprising (2018)

One lime

[5/10 · 2 May 2020]

Everything about this film, apart from the twist, is why I have hope for the future.

Hellraiser (1987)

One lime

Pretentious, indulgence and a waste of time. Things have to happen in a film.

[7/10 · 22 April 2020]

Sticks to a formula that is the foundation of good storytelling.

The Hunt (II) (2020)

One lime

[6/10 · 6 April 2020]

Weird, weird, weird but a pretty awesome fight scene at the end makes this a half decent watch even if the political satire is about as subtle as a wrecking ball.

Tiger King (2020–2021)

[9/10 · 31 March 2020]

With a character this insane it would have been hard to make a poor documentary.

Better than I thought it was going to be. Some disturbing images.

Cold Skin (2017)

One lime

[6/10 · 22 March 2020]

Pushes for profundity when it should concentrate on genre fun, but this isn't as bad as the reviews would have you believe.

Brightburn (2019)

One lime

[5/10 · 15 March 2020]

I was sold on the concept but not the execution. Should have given it some thought.

Your straight down the middle family comedy with an attempt at a theme.

[4/10 · 18 February 2020]

A typical submarine drama that does little to freshen the formula.

This is clearly written by people who have an Encyclopaedic knowledge of screenwriting. Great film.
