It is a poignant tale taking into account the troubles in Northern Ireland from the 70’s and fast forwarded today, and told from the point of the two protagonists Joe […]

I wanted to watch this movie after seeing a review of it on TV, (I was fascinated by Amelie’s eyes in the poster). I have always liked the nostalgic, deep intelligent themes surrounding french films, and this was no different, we are introduced to the young introvert Amelie, who day dreams from her distance father, […]

I wanted to see this movie after watching “Black snake moan” as it was directed by Craig Brewer. The subject matter was uncompromising, and I was left a little surprised how well the director got the audience on the pimp’s side; that our hero as time pressed on, pulled your strings into desperately wanting him […]
