BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP
An intriguing thriller which seems intent on removing all tension as soon as anything builds. I’d quite like to go to sleep and forget it.
4/10

THE KEEPER OF LOST CAUSES
A rudimentary Danish detective film which ticks all the boxes for a watchable TV series. Occasionally chilling with some very loud noises.
5/10
THE ROVER
A tense but unrewarding by-the-numbers post-apocalyptic buddy movie (The Brover).
8/10
LINCOLN
Ddl Oscar vehicle. Lots of zooming in on Lincolns face while he says inspirational things to a soundtrack of light trumpet music. Very good. 9/10
PSYCHO
Pretty good – but like the beatles, it’s only really well regarded because of the changes it caused. Good changes though. 10/10
HITCHCOCK
Not very likeable character. But a likeable plot. 6/10
ZERO DARK THIRTY
Too Hollywood. Not enough grit. Changed my mind, it’s good. 8/10
DJANGO UNCHAINED
Not bad. Brilliant first hour let down by plodding conclusion for the remaining two. 7/10
GROUNDHOG DAY
Never seen this before. It’s very good. I could wake up and watch this every day.
10/10
RESERVOIR DOGS
Like watching a play. A really good one. 10/10
