Having avoiding Troy to watch for 20 years I am kicking myself. Superb direction by Wolfgang Petersen and a cast that sold me this is a great film. Brad Pitt Eric Bana Orlando Bloom are the leads but what fantastic support cast headed by Brian Cox and Peter O'Toole.8 out of 10.

As iam very keen on American Civil War history, Gettysburg & God's & Generals are films I appreciate. G & G is flawed but still a very good film. Outstanding performances by Stephen Lang as Stonewall Jackson. He's scenes with a sick little girl are very touching. Dually as Lee is very good but I do prefer Martin Sheens in Gettysburg.A fine film 7.5 out of ten

The white Buffalo is a very underrated western. Charles Bronson gives a standout performance as real life Wild Bill Hickock, who is tormented in he's dreams of a rampageing buffalo that he believes is making him insane. Will Sampson who plays Crazy Horse is equally good who needs to redeem himself in the eyes of he's elders . Their teaming up together to confront the animal is a great finale . Not to be missed. 7 out of 10.

Nick Cage's good films & performances are as rare as Hen's teeth. PIG is a gem with a standout Cage. All round solid acting & direction makes a enjoyable 90mins. 7.5 out of 10.

After Jackson's Lord of the Rings success he was virtually given a blank cheque to reimagine he's favourite movie King Kong.I have recently watched the extended version that runs 3hours.Prouction values are superb with performancesof Adrien Brody, Naomi Watts and a greatsuppting cast.A truly great tribute to a great original.8.5 out of 10.

Is longlegs the scariest film in the last ten years ... NO! Is it one of the better performances from Nicholas Cage... YES. The almost robotic performance from Maika Monooe can't make up this is a average film. 5 out of 10.

Garry Busey stands out in this underated fun horror movie. A crippled boy discovers there is a werewolf living in their town. 6.5 out of 10.

7 days in May is a very fine political thriller. With stand out cast of Kirk Douglas, Burt Lancaster, & Frederic March as the president.A very ballsy film for the early sixties. 8/ 10.

The superb performances of R Lee Ermey & Wings Hauser make The siege of Firebase Gloria such a riveting Vietnam war film. Questionable direction does not detract this is a memorable film. 7.5 out of 10.

I do enjoy a giant bug movie since seeing the bad but watchable Th giant spider invasion in 1975. Sting the newest spider flick is simply worth a watch. Convincing cast & tight direction & a creepy villain. Good monster flick 6.5 out of 10.
