Review of Director's Cut (2016)

By Adam Lowes (75) for HeyUGuys (1,461) on 12 Oct 2016

Directors Cut is a unique endeavour that it never outstays its welcome, despite the seemingly limiting storytelling device…

Review of Super Mario Bros. (1993)

By Adam Lowes (75) for CineVue (2,163) on 17 Jul 2016

Stands out as a prime example of what not to do when trying to construct a watertight feature-length narrative on the foundations of a simplistic…

Review of Highlander (1986)

By Adam Lowes (75) for CineVue (2,163) on 10 Jul 2016

Highlander is the visual counterpart to rock band Queen (who supply a number of songs on the soundtrack) - big, brash and operatic filmmaking…

Review of A Hologram for the King (2016)

By Adam Lowes (75) for HeyUGuys (1,461) on 19 May 2016

Hanks' eminently watchable everyman persona shines as brightly as ever in a diverting, warm hug of a film…

Review of Everybody Wants Some!! (2016)

By Adam Lowes (75) for CineVue (2,163) on 10 May 2016

Richard Linklater once again casts his outwardly laid-back yet deceptively astute gaze on those loitering around the edge of adulthood with…

Review of The Ninth Configuration (1980)

By Adam Lowes (75) for CineVue (2,163) on 25 Apr 2016

A resolutely offbeat film which offers a richly rewarding and affecting viewing experience if you’re willing to embrace it’s esoteric flourishes…

Review of The Zero Boys (1986)

By Adam Lowes (75) for CineVue (2,163) on 24 Apr 2016

Add to this a generous lashing of unintentional humour and a young, inexperienced cast largely playing it straight and you have a gloriously…

Review of Three Days of the Condor (1975)

By Adam Lowes (75) for CineVue (2,163) on 10 Apr 2016

Add to the mix gregarious powerhouse producer Dino De Laurentiis, plus regular Redford directorial collaborator Sydney Pollock and, unsurprisingly,…

Review of Bride of Re-Animator (1990)

By Adam Lowes (75) for CineVue (2,163) on 10 Apr 2016

This is a largely uninspired rehash which fails to improve upon the superior original, stuttering along until the demented, anything goes finale…

Review of Victoria (2015)

By Adam Lowes (75) for CineVue (2,163) on 31 Mar 2016

Offering little respite for the viewer (even when the action flags, the committed performances shine), Victoria is a dynamic and astounding…

Review of Straight Outta Compton (2015)

By Adam Lowes (75) for CineVue (2,163) on 24 Feb 2016

Straight Outta Compton more than deserves a place amongst the very best music biopics, and even those who possess merely a passing familiarity…

Review of The American Dreamer (1971)

By Adam Lowes (75) for HeyUGuys (1,461) on 17 Feb 2016

A deliberately composed bathtub ménage à trios later on in the film looks like it could have been a deleted scene from Easy Rider…

Review of In the Heart of the Sea (2015)

By Adam Lowes (75) for CineVue (2,163) on 25 Dec 2015

Despite the best efforts of the filmmakers, In the Heart of the Sea is a few knots away from being the transformative cinema experience intended…

Review of Tokyo Tribe (2014)

By Adam Lowes (75) for HeyUGuys (1,461) on 20 May 2015

Tokyo Tribe is a film which goes out of its way to be as scattershot and lively as possible in its execution, yet is strangely bereft of much…

Review of Run All Night (2015)

By Adam Lowes (75) for CineVue (2,163) on 12 Mar 2015

Run All Night's saving grace is, unsurprisingly, its lead actor who remains as watchable as ever despite the material he has to work with…

Review of Inherent Vice (2014)

By Adam Lowes (75) for HeyUGuys (1,461) on 28 Jan 2015

Shot in sun-bleach, faded 35mm stock, with a view of California deeply entrenched in cinematic folklore, Inherent Vice is an easy film to fall for…

Review of American Sniper (2014)

By Adam Lowes (75) for HeyUGuys (1,461) on 16 Jan 2015

Ultimately more of an action-inflected character study rather than a weighty commentary on the Iraqi conflict, Eastwood creates some incredibly…

Review of Bad Turn Worse (2014)

By Adam Lowes (75) for CineVue (2,163) on 18 Nov 2014

A largely groanworthy independent offering which is severely lacking in the pulpy charms it so desperately tries to emulate…
