Review of Moon (2009)

By Dale R (193) on 01 Dec 2016

It was OK but I was disappointed with the ending as it just seemed to fizzle out : having 'the reveal' half way through the film was the point…

Review of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008)

By Dale R (193) on 28 Sep 2016

Gave it 45 minutes to 'wake up', and it hadn't ; and it was such a ridiculous premise (I was expecting more of a Merlin style living life backwards)…

By Dale R (193) on 17 Sep 2016

Well ... I applaud the idea behind it, and I'd recommend everyone seeing it once, but this is definitely not one to own on DVD…

Review of Suffragette (2015)

By Dale R (193) on 14 Sep 2016

Ok but nothing new here : I remember a grim portrayal of forced feeding on a TV show back in the 70s that was much more shocking than anything…

Review of The Visit (2015)

By Dale R (193) on 20 Aug 2016

Quite good in the end : would have been very good had it been shot as a 'normal' film instead of one of those bloody annoying 'found footage…

Review of Event Horizon (1997)

Review of Crimson Peak (2015)

By Dale R (193) on 06 Aug 2016

Review of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975)

By Dale R (193) on 25 Jun 2016

Review of Gone Girl (2014)

By Dale R (193) on 04 Jun 2016

Review of 13 Sins (2014)

By Dale R (193) on 05 May 2016

Not bad : totally ludicrous but worth 90 minutes. I found it disconcerting to see Mary-Ellen Walton's husband, Curt Willard, in this type of film…

Review of Just Before I Go (2015)

By Dale R (193) on 04 May 2016
