“Best remembered for introducing one of the Time Lord's most memorable companions, the warrior Leela, Doctor Who - The Face of Evil has a lot more to recommend it than Louise Jameson's skimpy costume fuelling millions of schoolboys' and their dads' fantasies. It's a surprisingly compelling mystery th” read more

“The original BBC Ghost Stories for Christmas came to an end with this trio of tales that saw a shift in tone from the previous M.R. James adaptations.

“"Life is far too glorious, especially for the cursed and damned like myself."

At times the extended version of 2010's The Wolfman is a case of a film failing for all the right reasons: an interesting attempt to mix a classical moviemaking aesthetic and old school production techniques with” read more

Three intriguing period kaiju classics

“Spanning three films all released at four monthly intervals in the same year, 1966, the Daimajin series is one of the most atypical of all Japanese kaiju films. In this case the strange monster is a giant statue of a warrior that comes to life, but rather than menacing a modern city he's a force of ” read more

After years in the wilderness ended only when Francis Ford Coppola and George Lucas persuaded 20th Century Fox to invest some of the money they'd made from Star Wars in his financially stalled epic,” read more

“It may not tap into the primal majesty of Arnold Fanck and Leni Riefenstahl's once-hugely popular German `berg' films of the Thirties, but Disney's 1959 live-action feature Third Man on the Mountain is a rather splendid family-friendly adventure that benefits from a stronger story and characterisati” read more

“Probably my favorite pre-code film which possesses an uncharacteristically upbeat ending full of hope.

Devolving Into Melodrama

“Bought this political drama series through the second season largely based on recommendations that if I enjoyed the Danish crime series Forbrydelsen I would enjoy this as well. Also, it received some good reviews across The Pond. While the first season was good, and the acting and and production val” read more

“Fresh, unique, and entertaining. History comes alive as the founding fathers discover purpose, embrace love, and colonize unsettled lands.

mildly good

“this is a decent movie that should be entertaining enough for most kids and maybe adults too. it never raises to the level of madagascar which its obviously banking off of. and thats sort've a shame because it has good potential. the jokes don't really come off well even when there are good jokes” read more

“Matt Damon was robbed of an Academy Award nominstion when Jude Law received one. Much better than "Purple Noon" Minghella's adaption was magnificent. I strongly recommend this film.” read more
