As last weekend we got to see quite a lot of films (yes, I'm a bit behind on my reviews folks), this year we skipped the cinema and opted to catch up on films I've missed last year. One I've been wanting to see is Warrior, and when I read this enthusiastic review on Thursday, …

Classic Flix Review: Brute Force (1947)
Welcome all and sundry to another guest review of a film I caught quite by accident. Courtesy of Turner Classic Movies late into a dark and stormy summer night.

FlixChatter Review: Immortals
Every once in a while, there's a movie that comes along that's critics-proof. This is one of those movies. I love swords and sandals genre and I went in with the expectation for Tarsem's visuals and Henry Cavill's performance to wow me and it delivered on both counts.
