Movies TV Shows
Life After Flash (2017) 89% 4/5 EDIT “There aren't many surprises or shock revelations here, but some of the anecdotes are amusing, while Jones is charming, enthusiastic and honest about the ups and downs of his life after starring in one of cinema's defining cult favourites.” – Radio Times Nov 11, 2025 Full Review Tron (1982) 60% 3/5 EDIT “Dated and lacking in storytelling, Tron remains significant thanks to still-impressive visuals and a foresight for cyber realities. Plus, that lightcycle chase is awesomely cool.” – Flix Capacitor Oct 2, 2025 Full Review Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987) 16% 1.5/5 EDIT “The new additions are questionable, at best. Hemingway is just kind of there, Pillow’s Nuclear Man is just a bad idea and Jon Cryer is so woefully out of place he makes Otis look like Shaft. ” – Eye for Film Jul 1, 2025 Full Review American Psycho (2000) 68% 4/5 EDIT “By wisely keeping almost all the gruesome acts off-screen or just out-of-sight, the horror works much better” – Eye for Film Apr 2, 2025 Full Review Chinatown (1974) 98% 4/5 EDIT “Colour it may be, but Polanski’s Seventies thriller encapsulates Forties noir in all it’s hard-boiled glory.” – Eye for Film Mar 8, 2024 Full Review Goodfellas (1990) 93% 5/5 EDIT “Mean Streets might be his most seminal picture but Goodfellas is Scorsese's best. Adding his once-a-decade masterpiece for the Nineties (the Seventies had Taxi Driver, the Eighties Raging Bull), this is a movie of the highest order.” – Eye for Film Oct 17, 2023 Full Review French Connection II (1975) 83% 2.5/5 EDIT “The French Connection II is a decent genre effort, but not a massively memorable one.” – Eye for Film Sep 5, 2021 Full Review Doc Hollywood (1991) 66% 3.5/5 EDIT “Director Michael Caton-Jones leans much heavier towards the romantic end of the rom-com spectrum rather than out-and-out laughs, but the film remains heart-warming without ever approaching a syrupy corn-fest.” – Eye for Film Jun 24, 2021 Full Review Infinitely Polar Bear (2014) 83% 4/5 EDIT “Ruffalo is incredibly charming, and while Cam's behaviour is often erratic, he is also sweet, funny and endearing. Happily, the same can be said about the film.” – Radio Times Aug 13, 2020 Full Review Liar Liar (1997) 83% 3/5 EDIT “Despite being way, way, way (way) over-the-top at times, Liar Liar is vintage Jim Carrey and a nice return to form. Honestly.” – Eye for Film Apr 7, 2020 Full Review The Goonies (1985) 77% 4.5/5 EDIT “If you don't like The Goonies you may be a little dead inside.” – Eye for Film Apr 6, 2020 Full Review Earthquake Bird (2019) 48% 3/5 EDIT “So while Earthquake Bird isn't especially thrilling, it is atmospheric and intriguing enough that the story should keep you guessing until the very end.” – Radio Times Nov 11, 2019 Full Review Driven (2018) 63% 4/5 EDIT “It all adds up to a fun and entertaining ride.” – Radio Times Nov 11, 2019 Full Review Skin (2018) 76% 4/5 EDIT “The film is slightly longer than it needs to be, but it offers an authentic, thought-provoking story about redemption and forgiveness.” – Radio Times Oct 2, 2019 Full Review Sprinter (2018) 80% 4/5 EDIT “Yes, it contains the occasional corny moment but Sprinter ensures you want Akeem to succeed, which is what really matters.” – Radio Times Sep 7, 2019 Full Review Balance, Not Symmetry (2019) 0% 1/5 EDIT “Nothing really works in this underwhelming drama: the sad scenes aren't sad; the uplifting scenes aren't uplifting; moments that should be dramatic have no impact.” – Radio Times Aug 5, 2019 Full Review Escape Plan: The Extractors (2019) 25% 2/5 EDIT “The fight sequences are refreshingly brutal, but the story doesn't hold the attention, and there isn't much drama, tension or excitement. Stallone deserves better.” – Radio Times Jul 11, 2019 Full Review Diego Maradona (2019) 91% 3/5 EDIT “Some of the footage is revealing, but Kapadia's portrait lacks variety (there are only so many old video clips you can watch), and it is too long.” – Radio Times Jun 17, 2019 Full Review I Am Mother (2019) 89% EDIT “If you like small-scale, high-concept sci-fi (such as Ex Machina or 10 Cloverfield Lane), then I Am Mother is a must-see.” – Radio Times Jun 8, 2019 Full Review John McEnroe: In the Realm of Perfection (2018) 90% 2/5 EDIT “In the Realm of Perfection is a dull, ponderous experience that lacks the energy and excitement that we associate with McEnroe himself.” – Radio Times May 26, 2019 Full Review High Life (2018) 83% 2/5 EDIT “In fairness, there are times when High Life is intriguing and strangely mesmerising. Mostly, though, it is a dull, confusing experience that never really goes anywhere.” – Radio Times May 10, 2019 Full Review Eighth Grade (2018) 99% 4/5 EDIT “In short, it is a warm, relatable comedy drama that captures the teenage experience to a tee.” – Radio Times Apr 28, 2019 Full Review A Dark Place (2018) 60% 3/5 EDIT “Steel Country is a watchable, well-acted thriller, but it's hard to shake the feeling that something is missing.” – Radio Times Apr 18, 2019 Full Review Dragged Across Concrete (2018) 76% 4/5 EDIT “If you enjoy violent, slow-burn crime dramas, Dragged Across Concrete is a must-see.” – Radio Times Apr 18, 2019 Full Review At Eternity's Gate (2018) 79% 4/5 EDIT “By the end of this affecting film, this painter's final years have been brought satisfyingly if tragically to life.” – Radio Times Mar 29, 2019 Full Review
