The Drummond Will receives the first ever super nova review, this one is well beyond stars.
This British comedy is one of the best for many years. It is at its heart a very black comedy, but so well done that you never really at any point stop to wonder whether or not you should be laughing. If you look up…more

The Witches of Oz isn’t really very good and for that reason I have only given it 2 stars.
The idea behind this story is very interesting, it explores what happens to Dorothy Gale after she leaves Oz. She gradually forgets what happened to her until she becomes an adult. As the memories return she writes and publishes them as popular…more

Submarine is a really good coming of age film 4 stars.
This is Oliver Tate’s (Craig Roberts, Becoming Human, TV), view on life, his monologue on how life is shite and how the planet holds nothing for his hopes and dreams,(typical 15 year old, me thinks).
His aspirations are that he must save his parents failing marriage and crush her aspirations for…more

A 4 Star Courtroom drama that doesn’t take a back seat.
Mike Haller (Matthew McConaughey, Sahara) is no ordinary defence lawyer, he is streetwise and rides the streets in his Lincoln town car, always on the move where his clients can find him.
The main story hangs on the case of Luis Roulet (Ryan Philhipe, Flags of the Fathers) a young man…more
