THE INTERNET'S MOST HONEST FILM REVIEWS. WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT.


Daughter of the Nile (1987)
Hou Hsiao-Hsien’s 1987 film is a gorgeous and understated coming of age drama.

My Neighbor Totoro (1988)
My Neighbor Totoro is a beautiful film, and like pretty much all Ghibli film will work for all ages.

Body Double (1984)
This is Brian de Palma having fun, and he should really do it more often.
Feb 17, 20242 min read


The Abyss (1989)

Hope and Glory (1987)
I have to confess, that despite thirteen BAFTA nominations and five Oscar nominations, Hope & Glory baffled me.

Planes, Trains and Automobiles (1987)
Home Alone is probably still my favourite, but Planes, Trains And Automobiles sits up there in the John Hughes rankings chart.

Dead Ringers (1988)
Cronenberg's follow up to his eponymous version of The Fly (1986) concerns the lives of a pair of identical twins.

Outland (1981)
Apart from the fact that there isn't an alien in Peter Hyam's Outland, this may as well be Ridley Scott's Alien (1979) made by Luc Besson.

Southern Comfort (1981)
During the Vietnam war, a squad of National Guardsmen take part in a military training exercise in the deep swamps of Louisiana.

Dressed to Kill (1980)
Critics and academics have dissected and castrated Dressed To Kill for years, and it's true, this is far from De Palma's finest.
Jan 1, 20241 min read


Tucker: The Man and His Dream (1988)
It's an odd film that I hadn't heard of before, a true life biographical tale of Preston Tucker.

Porky's (1981)
Porky’s is rubbish, but I’d be lying through my teeth if I said I didn’t enjoy it.
Jan 1, 20241 min read


Jagged Edge (1986)
I’m a sucker for a Joe Eszterhas script. But this isn't quite up there with his finest.

The Vanishing (1988)
Sluizer’s film is gripping from start to finish, Hitchcockian at times in its delivery and suspense.
Dec 10, 20232 min read


Silent Night, Deadly Night (1984)
A man running around with an axe dressed as Santa doesn’t seem particularly novel, but it does work to a certain extent.

Christmas Evil (1980)
Another film about someone dressing up as Santa and going on a kill spree.
Dec 6, 20232 min read


Top Gun (1984)
Everything in the film that makes you laugh (and there’s plenty), you know Scott has placed it all there firmly tongue in cheek.
Nov 26, 20231 min read


Amadeus: Director's Cut (1984)
I haven’t seen the theatrical cut, but if you have the option, you should without doubt track down this version.
Nov 21, 20232 min read


American Gigolo (1980)
Richard Gere plays Richard Gere, or Julian, a male escort if you prefer, who is framed for the murder of an ex-client. So far, so Gere.
Nov 19, 20231 min read


Where Is the Friend's House? (1987)
Abbas Kiarostami's film is the first in the so called 'Koker Trilogy'.
