For the last seven years, I have used this blog to praise and complain about movies. Sometimes I will watch a movie and sit there the entire time wondering how on Earth a production company thought this particular story was a good idea and got behind its release. Now, as I make my way through … More The French Connection (1971)
The year 2020 marks the 20th anniversary of one of the Bets Picture winners, 2000’s Gladiator, starring Russell Crowe and Joaquin Phoenix.

As a fan of Michael Douglas’s career, the only thing I learnt from this particular role is … More The Game (1997)
