Bright Star
Antichrist A masterpiece of confrontational cinema
Star Trek Most enjoyable popcorn movie I’ve seen in a long time.
Favourite Soda Film
Wendy and Lucy - So much is said just below the surface in this honest portrayal of one woman trying to change her life and the sacrifices that come with it. Michelle Williams produces the finest performance of her career under the expert direction of Kelly Reichardt.

Top 5 Films of the Decade
Hidden The perfect film?
Ratcatcher just misses out but felt it needed a mention because it’s amazing!
Heartbeat Detector - Brilliantly emotive cinema.
No Country For Old Men - Funny, Dark, Serious, ambiguous, crackling script, great performances - When the Coens are on form they can’t be touched.
No Country For Old Men
Head On - Cultures and lovers clash to produce one of the decades sexiest debut films.
George Washington - Charles Burnett meets Terrence Malick - Not bad for a 25 year old. Another startling debut.
Defining Film of the Decade
Hidden - A beautifully paced thriller that perfectly encapsulates the claustrophobic paranoia that has come to define a decade that finds itself under constant surveillance.
