Tenet (2020) Review

January 18, 2021 Ben

If you take away the twisted, science-fiction aspect of Tenet, which makes it much more unique, what you have here is Christopher Nolan’s version of Bond. The first act is a spy movie and a very good one. John David … Continue reading Tenet (2020) Review

Pixar Month: Cars 2 (2011) Review

September 20, 2018September 20, 2018 Ben

Pixar could be accused of creating a cheap cash-grab sequel with Cars 2. Cars wasn’t the greatest of Pixar movies and certainly wasn’t critically acclaimed but it did make a huge amount of money, particularly in merchandise, so a sequel seemed … Continue reading Pixar Month: Cars 2 (2011) Review

The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956) Review

July 31, 2016 Ben

As with many Alfred Hitchcock movies, elements of The Man Who Knew Too Much are ahead of it’s time. For starters it’s a loose remake, something which was fairly uncommon back in the 1950s (unlike today). Second of all, it had … Continue reading The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956) Review

My choice for the next James Bond

April 12, 2016April 12, 2016 Ben

I’m getting my vote in early and campaigning way before the time. We aren’t even sure that Daniel Craig will be stepping down as the British spy but seeing as the rumours have already started and names have already been thrown … Continue reading My choice for the next James Bond

The Night Manager (Season 1) TV Review

April 11, 2016 Ben

I review a whole season rather than individual episodes, so there is a chance of spoilers. If you haven’t watched the whole season yet, stop reading now! America are very good at delivering high-concept big budget dramas, while the Scandinavian countries deliver … Continue reading The Night Manager (Season 1) TV Review

Month of Bond: Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) Review

October 27, 2015October 27, 2015 Ben

Tomorrow Never Dies is everything I want a Bond film to be. It has a great Bond, a kick-ass Bond Girl, a villain with a smart and effective scheme and best of all, some great, ambitious action sequences. Where Goldeneye … Continue reading Month of Bond: Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) Review

Month of Bond: The Living Daylights (1987) Review

October 25, 2015 Ben

The Living Daylights is two very different films in one. The first half echoes the Bond of old; playful, a bit silly (but never Roger Moore silly) with some solid action work and decent stunts. The second half becomes something more … Continue reading Month of Bond: The Living Daylights (1987) Review
