Julia’s Eyes(2011)
"“Due to the willingness and distinctiveness shown by the director, I feel that Julia’s Eyes is one worth seeing.”"
When it comes to horror movies, I can be quite the cynic. I often struggle to get really into a horror, mainly because I find it quite difficult to get very scared. Ghosts, zombies, monsters, are all just mythical beings, and I’m generally not frightened by the supernatural. However, what d...
Angels of Evil(2011)
"“…Full of violence, romance, and platform boots. What more could you possibly want?”"
Maybe it’s the Italian swagger, or maybe it’s the elegant, stylish 1970’s fashion, but Angels of Evil is one damn cool movie.
Based on a true story, the film is set mostly in Milan, telling the tale of notorious Italian crime lord Renato Vallanzasca (Kim Rossi Stuart). T...
Blitz(2011)
"“You can’t fault the film’s entertainment. It doesn’t take itself too seriously - it’s just unadulterated drama”"
When hearing of a crime drama starring Jason Statham and Paddy Considine, it’s fair to say I was caught in two minds.

Yes that's right, Pi...
Fire in Babylon(2011)
"“It’s a fascinating tale of race, politics and the strength in teamwork and natural talent of an inspiring group of sportsmen”"
If there is one thing I can assure you, it’s that you don’t need to be in to cricket to enjoy this documentary.
Following the actions of the West Indies cricket team of the 1960’s, 70’s and 80’s – Fire in Babylon, a Stevan Riley feature, is a fascinatin...
A Screaming Man(2011)
"“It’s not one to watch if you’re in the mood for a laugh, A Screaming Man is hard-hitting, painful and at some points quite distressing.”"
As the ongoing Cannes film festival takes over the movie headlines, it’s an award-winner from last year’s ceremony which is set for its cinematic release. A Screaming Man, winner of the prestigious ‘Jury prize’ at the 2010 event, could have won another award – simply...
