“Finally got round to seeing 'The Danish Girl' last night, having been intrigued by it (thanks to its subject, the way it was advertised and the talent involved) for a long time but not having the time due to heavy music and music college work commitments and being behind with my "must-see" list.My t” read more
“As several reviewers have said already, I wasn't expecting too much when I saw Legally Blonde, but it was for me surprisingly good. The plot may be a little predictable and heavy-handed, but everything else was nicely handled.The film does move quite quickly, the script is nice and fluffy like a sou” read more
“'Apollo 13' had so much going for it, being based on an actual event that continues to move and inspire, Ron Howard showing evidence of some fine films and on paper a great cast.

But it is(in my opinion) much better than its reputation, and leagues ahead of House of Dracula, it's better made, more atmospherically” read more

“Adam Sandler is rather hit and miss for me, sometimes he's good but he can be irritating. Luckily for this film he is good in it and his character is one of the zanier and more likable ones he's played, and Billy Madison overall is one of his better films. It is not perfect, the premise is silly and” read more
