Taking on making a movie about any part of 9/11 would never be an easy task and for braving the emotional subject director Oliver Stone deserves much applause. But for some reason the finished movie "World Trade Center" doesn...

Battle Los Angeles (2011)

116 mins     Action , Sci-Fi      

There is a line in "Battle Los Angeles" which goes "That was some new John Wayne shit, Staff Sgt." and it got me thinking what would this movie had been like if John Wayne had been in it. Sounds daft but whilst to my knowledg...

The Lincoln Lawyer (2011)

118 mins     Crime, Drama, Thriller      

I like movies like "The Lincoln Lawyer" as whilst it is not great it is the complete package. It has a storyline and subplots which right from the word go draw you in and then takes you on a journey as the plot thickens so yo...

Tower Heist (2011)

104 mins     Action , Comedy, Crime      

You may wonder why I called this review "Puddle Thirteen" but that is because it reminded me of "Ocean Thirteen" right down to the plot line where Lester feeling depressed at losing his money tries to take his own life. But "...

Fury (2014)

134 mins     Action , Drama, War      

Tick for production. It has to be said that those behind "Fury" have certainly thrown a lot of money and time in to the production of the movie. From scenes in the tank to various war torn towns this certainly has an impressi...

The Vatican Tapes (2015)

91 mins     Horror, Thriller      

When I feel the need to start a review with, well it's not the worst movie you will ever see; it doesn't actually fill you with confidence. Unfortunately that is the case of "The Vatican Tapes" as here we have another demonic...
