I really want to like this film, it is one of Sally’s favourite books, so I gave this a real shot when it first came out and even read the book before seeing the movie. This story just did not grab me at all though, and the movie had too many things going against it. Continue reading

I never liked this movie much growing up. This was a movie my sisters would watch whenever possible, so for childhood Ben, if Grease was on the television, it just meant I could not watch Star Wars for a couple of hours. It was really annoying. Continue reading

I remember seeing trailers for Gravity and thinking I could not imagine a more frightening experience. Being stuck alone in the depths of space just waiting for your oxygen to run out would be possibly the worst way to go for me. Continue reading

The Goonies will always have a special place in my heart. Many Saturday afternoons of my childhood were watching this film with my father. This was a dream come true for any kid. What little boy didn’t dream of going on an adventure with his friends to find some lost pirate treasure? Continue reading

I really think I watched this movie at the wrong time. Because we are doing this blog alphabetically, we watched Goodfellas not long after seeing The Godfather series.

There is probably only one reason to watch this film: To see Robin Williams ad-lib his way through the radio shows his character plays. It is a joy to watch a Robin Williams in his prime be given free reign to be hilarious. The setting of Vietnam also allows for some very pretty scenery. Continue reading

I’m not going to lie here, I fell asleep watching this movie. I have watched it in the past and found it pretty average. The most exciting part of this more recent viewing was realising that Tywin Lannister (Charles Dance) is the bad guy in it. Continue reading

Just as I was hesitant to watch the second Godfather movie, I also did not really want to watch this film either. I have only ever heard bad things about this movie and I was worried that if it was really terrible, it could taint the first two movies and make me like them less. That ended up not being the case, the first two films will always be brilliant, but this third instalment is a huge disappointment. Continue reading

I was a bit apprehensive to watch this film. Like the original Godfather, I’d never seen it before, and only ever heard amazing things about this film. This sequel is always mentioned in the same breath as other follow ups that exceeded the original, like Empire Strikes Back or Terminator 2. Continue reading
