Nick McB’s Film Reviews

56 Films have been rated or reviewed by Nick McB.

Kurt and CourtneyKurt and Courtney (1997)Aro Favourite
3 stars (Good Enough) Entertaining enough, but there is something distasteful about his reliance on the likes of dodge bikers and Courtney\'s deranged father to further his dubious hypothesis.
Biggie and TupacBiggie and Tupac (2002)Recommended
2 stars (Good Try) About as reliable as any Broomfield documentary; that is, not very. lt\'s also hard to maintain concentration following his meandering theories.
Charley VarrickCharley Varrick (1973)Recommended
4 stars (Very Good) Another great 70\'s action movies, when action movies were not as formulaic and conventional as they have become. Stylish Don Siegel direction and a typically excellent Lalo Shifren score help things along.
Looking For EricLooking For Eric (2009)Aro Favourite
4 stars (Very Good) By Ken Loach standards this is light entertainment compared with some of his more grueling efforts, and no weaker for it.
Warm Water Under a Red BridgeWarm Water Under a Red Bridge (2001)Recommended
3 stars (Good Enough) Rather silly but otherwise very sweet.
Virgin Spring, TheVirgin Spring, The (1960)Aro Favourite
5 stars (Exceptional) No one does seriousness as well as Bergman, another classic in true meaning of the word.
Seventh Seal, TheSeventh Seal, The (1957)Recommended
5 stars (Exceptional) Every single frame is iconic.
Witchfinder GeneralWitchfinder General (The Conqueror Worm) (1968)Aro Favourite
5 stars (Exceptional) A cult classic with Vincent Price genuinely disturbing rather than hammy.
Venus in FursVenus in Furs (Paroxismus) (1969)Recommended
3 stars (Good Enough) Great jazz score and great presence from Klaus Kinski. Must be close to Franco\'s best film
Memories of MurderMemories of Murder (Salinui chueok) (2003)Recommended
5 stars (Exceptional) Outstanding.
