Mulholland Drive (2001) review by That Film Journo

Few directors have such a cultural impact that a style of film is named after them. Hitchcockian, Kubrickian, Tarantinoesque are the few that spring to mind along with Lynchian. And no-one makes films like David Lynch. … [Read more...]

The World’s End (2013) review by That Film Guy

What do you do if you think the world is ending? If you're Edgar Wright, Nick Frost or Simon Pegg, you desperately try to finish an epic pub crawl. The boys are back in town, or in this case, the sleepy British village of Newton Haven.

Spirited Away (2001) review by That Film Journo

Some films entertain you for a couple of hours and then you forget them. Other films don't let go. They keep their hold on you, play on your mind, haunt your imagination long after the final scene has finished. Studio Ghibli's Spirited Away is one of those that keep its grip on you... even years later. … [Read more...]

Aladdin (1992) review by That Film Guy

Arguably providing Robin Williams his greatest role, Disney's Aladdin give creative freedom to the rapid-fire comedian.

Pinocchio (1940) review by That Film Guy

At the heart of the original golden age of animated films came Disney's take on the Italian folklore tale Pinocchio.

Seven Samurai (1954) review by That Film Dude

The huge international success of Rashomon in 1950 had cemented Akira Kurosawa's reputation as the most famous Japanese filmmaker in the world, and given him an enormous amount of clout for his future projects.

Blade Runner (1982) review by That Film Doctor

Blade Runner was a genre-defining film. Made at a time when the world's technological capabilities were increasing quicker than our ability to use them all properly, it tapped into all those futuristic dreams (or anxieties) that characterised societies across world. Even the futuristic-sounding musical score by Vangelis was carefully crafted to add to the fantastical atmosphere … [Read more...]
