Transcendence (2014)
Good photography and special effects. Interesting although not particularly original plot. some good acting. Tries for Christopher Nolan but lacks the visionary gleam. Still good enough to be well worth the time.
Ghost Writer, The (2010)
- A political intrigue reminiscent of the original House of Cards series. Star studded cast, quality acting.The story is enough to give the cast plenty to do and better told than in the original book. Polanski has his fingerprints all over this one.
Pulp: a Film about Life, Death & Supermarkets (2014)- As much about Sheffield as about the band. Quality doco., sets the music in context, Worth the time. That final concert is a blast.
Particle Fever (2013)
A "must view" for science nerds. Others will surely be impressed by the epic scale of the machinery and the sheer improbability of getting it all to work at once. Impressive documentary.
In Order of Disappearance (2014)- Body count increases steadily. Graphic violence. Bleak and sardonic sense of humour. Maybe it's something in the Nordic air?. Good solid production. Worth a look
Killer, The (1989)
- Parody of every action film ever made. Droll sense of humour so bad that it's good. Brilliant cinematography. Alarmingly high body count.
A Most Wanted Man (2014)- Based on the John Le Carre novel. Extended meditation on the difficulty of addressing terrorism in the modern world. Low key and thoughtful multilayered script assumes at least some intelligence on part of the viewer. Overall, a quality German production.
Locke (2013)
One man. A telephone. A car. 90 minutes. A life unravels in real time. Could have been done as a one man stage show but works so much better as a movie. A tour de force.- DVD $19.95
Signal, The (2014)- Tries for Kubrick and Lynch but no. fails to gell as a movie. Has a sting in the tail but wanders around in the desert for far too long. An "A" pass as a film school graduation project. Maybe would have made a good Twilight Zone episode back in the day.
Manipulation (2011)- 1950's Switzerland. Political intrigue loosely based on historical events. Quality craftsmanship. Close woven character play well worth the time.
