Trajectories and French Family

The Raid follows a powerful and well aimed trajectory. I couldn't take my eyes of the fast paced action and superbly choreographed fight scenes. One scene in particular stood out, involving a warrior reminiscent in stamina and power of horror legends, Michael Myers or Jason Voorhees. A force to be reckoned with in one of the finest fight scenes I've ever seen involving some fluorescent lighting. 

BOOM! Spectacular action - watch it on the big screen!

“Your family are like a reverse Godot”

An enjoyably absurd romantic comedy that has moments of brilliance along with a couple of great performances from Delpy and Rock. It also boasts an inspired cameo. Loved it!

Carrying on the Asian and French theme... 

I also reviewed the Chinese Superhero comedy, Inseparable, which stars Kevin Spacey over on Starburst.

And The Monk starring Vincent Cassel. The poster and trailers for this film were super spot on...

I was more than happy to be led into temptation.

Muppets, Ghosts, and Dangerous Methods

The Muppets finally came out in the UK yesterday and I officially LOVED it!

The Woman in Black is also out in the UK now. I went to a press screening and had to cover my face with a scarf to stifle my reactions to it and stop from totally embarrassing myself. 

A great, jumpy ghost story.

The CEO of Hammer, Simon Oakes,  also took the time to have a chat with me about the film.

I saw A Dangerous Method at LFF last year and was underwhelmed by it. I am a fan of Director David Cronenberg but it just didn't have the usual punch of his films. It was more slap and tickle...

It is out in London now and the rest of the UK on 17th February.
