Review of God Told Me To (1976)

Review of Becket (1964)

By Sean O (244) on 03 Oct 2007

Review of Samurai Jack: The Premiere Movie (2017)

Review of Lord of the Flies (1963)

By Sean O (244) on 21 Sep 2007

Raw and frayed film version of the William Golding classic but clearly superior to the dismal American remake in the 1990s…

Review of Gone to Earth (1950)

Review of Veronica Guerin (2003)

By Sean O (244) on 04 Sep 2007

Review of The Remains of the Day (1993)

By Sean O (244) on 03 Sep 2007
