I admit I did not have any desire to watch this film ever since it was announced Mel Gibson is seating at the director’s chair. Plus the idea of another war movie is exhausting to think about unless your name is Christopher Nolan (Dunkirk will be released this year and …

Showgirls is one of the most idiotic, lame and stupid movies I’ve ever has the non-pleasure of watching. Elizabeth Berkley attempts to pull off her pitiful character, Nomi, and fails miserably.

Something about the thought of Will Smith and Martin Lawrence playing cops makes me want to laugh, and watching the 2003 movie Bad Boys 2 I do plenty of that.

The 2004 version of ‘Man on Fire’ is a cracking film which, although it contains a hell of a lot of action and violence, is far from your average one-dimensional action flick. Starring one of my favourite actors, Denzel Washington, as ex-CIA assassin ‘Creasy’ who initially has no …
