Posted on July 12, 2021 by Sam S-P

Review: Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011)

Posted on May 12, 2019 by Sam S-P

Oddly enough, despite its 1970s setting, cold grey rooms and tweed, Tomas Alfredson’s adaptation of John Le Carré’s TINKER TAILOR SOLDIER SPY feels more relevant and connective than ever. Maybe it’s because the modern world we live in is becoming … Continue reading →

Review: Before I Go To Sleep (2014)

Posted on May 23, 2015 by Sam S-P

Review: Kingsman: The Secret Service (2014/15)

Posted on February 2, 2015 by Sam S-P

Matthew Vaughn has delivered another very enjoyable action-comedy that never quite reconciles certain tonal dissonances, but makes up for it with energy, style and confidence in abundance. Eggsy (Taron Egerton) has a tough life. His dad died when he was … Continue reading →

Review: Paddington (2014)

Posted on December 4, 2014 by Sam S-P

Many might groan in distress at the thought of yet another childhood icon given a lavish live-action film adaptation. Even more alarm bells ring once you hear of the involvement of the producer and a few of the cast of … Continue reading →

Greatest Oscar Injustices 2004-2013

Posted on February 5, 2014 by Sam S-P

The selection of the Academy Awards is an unfair, flawed system. Everyone knows that. Not long to go now before this year’s awards, so here’s my pick of the biggest mistakes the Academy made over the last decade, and the … Continue reading →
