HelBic 29th Mar 2021		Cinema Wonder Woman 1984 (2020) (2020)	Good review, and I may now just watch it. However, I have to say there's a YouTuber I follow whose reviews I always find not only vastly entertaining but informative and 'on point'. He tends to give his opinion and then pull apart the good and bad points of the film, including gaping plot holes if there are any (and he does point many out in this film which a London double decker bus could be driven through). So, for an alternative view, have a look. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PeieblTIw7A&t=41s
HelBic 12th Oct 2020		Cinema Thor: Ragnarok (2017) (2017)	Odd isn't it? I did enjoy this movie but also felt slightly let down by it. Why? Simply because as a kid, I bought every American superhero comic I could find. It was the early 60s and Marvel were really starting to take off and so I bought the very first Thor comic "Journey Into Mystery". The Thor character in the comics was very straight laced and dis speak as thoug out of Shakespeare, so I enjoyed the Thor movies and characterisation very much. This iteration see him transform almost into a 21st century character - for me the character arc and transition from Shakespearean hero into modern man was too quick. Pity as it really was a good movie, mind you ther transition into lazy fat slob in the last Avengers movie was a step too far for me.
HelBic 12th Oct 2020		Cinema Léon (The Professional / Léon: The Professional) (1994) (1994)	Great review @MagicMarmalade, I have the original DVD of the movie and have never seen the director's cut - and will definitely give it a miss as the original was definitely a masterpiece.
HelBic 28th Aug 2019		Cinema Bride Of Frankenstein (1935)	Probably the best Frankenstein movie ever IMO. Also, Karloff IS the monster.
HelBic 28th Aug 2019		Cinema The Conversation (1974) (1974)	Fantastic movie, Gene Hackman at his best.
HelBic 20th Aug 2018		Cinema True Lies (1994) (1994)	Review I loved this when I saw it at the movies and now own it on DVD. The cast, script and pace of the movie are fantastic. There are a number of 007 references not least the scene where he scuba dives in a dry suit and strips off to reveal a dinner suit underneath. Jamie Lee Curtis was outstanding and sexy as hell in this movie. A must see! 4 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
HelBic 1st Feb 2017		Cinema Suspiria (1977) (1977)	Review At the time, probably the scariest movie I'd ever seen - mostly because of the subsonic soundtrack provided by Goblin. a masterpiece of horror. 3 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
HelBic 31st Jan 2017		Cinema The Ninth Configuration (1980) (1980)	Based on the book by Bill Blatty called "Twinkle Twinkle Killer Kane" the book was great and this is a good adaptation.
HelBic 8th Nov 2015		Cinema Live And Let Die (1973) (1973)	Rated 9/10 Roger Moore's first outing and his best by far. It was all downhill from here. One of the best Bond Themes provided by Paul McCartney. 2 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
HelBic 8th Nov 2015		Cinema You Only Live Twice (1967) (1967)	Rated 10/10 For me, Bond's best movie starring Sean Connery. Of course, it may just be the theme song as sung by Nancy Sinatra which effectively introduced the strings that famously appear in just about every other Bond theme since! 3 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
