I am really disappointed in myself for not listening to my instincts and perching my butt on the seat, in the cinema to watch this film. I now have over an hour of my life wasted and John Moore needs to find a way to make it up to me. I knew it was going […]

Hi guys and dolls So for lent I have decided to give up all forms of social media and this includes my blog. Whatever decide to give up or not give up, it doesn’t have to be all about religion and faith I use it as a time to be reflective, clear my mind and soak […]
From the opening scenes it was apparent that Flight was not going to be like Robert Zemeckis’ other films. It is his way of coming back into live action cinema. Full frontal nudity, drugs and alcohol are always the right ingredients for a some kind of character crash (no pun intended) and what I like about the first few […]
As the saying goes “Every cloud has a silver lining” and in this case bipolar Patrick “Pat” Solitano is having some serious problems in finding his. The film is written and directed by David O. Russell and based off the novel of the same name by Matthew Quick. After beating his cheating wife’s lover mercilessly Pat gets sent […]
(Contains spoilers) I read this script long before it came to the worlds attention and the first thing I thought was with the word “nigger” being used over a whopping 10o times throughout the script “What is Spike Lee going to think” – true story. QT has had some genius cinematic moments with Pulp Fiction and Reservoir […]
I always love a movie based on a true story and in this case it’s the downfall of maniacal criminal kingpin Mickey Cohen. In real life Cohen was sent to Alcatraz for IRS tax evasion but nobody wants to watch that on the big screen.We want drama, seduction, blood, revenge and a whole lotta tommy […]

So I tuned in to one of those random sky film channels and this movie gem happened to just be starting. This film was actually written by Luc Besson when he was a teenage boy, and by the mid 90′s Besson was quickly becoming one of my favourite directors having giving us the masterpieces that are Nikita […]
To all my readers, subscribers, loyalist and downright cynics – I wish you all a very happy new year. I hope/pray this year is full of happiness, wisdom, success, blessing, good luck, generosity, love, laughter, good health and many other great things to fill your year and beyond.

Just wanted to wish my readers and subscribers near and far a very Happy Christmas/Happy Holidays. I hope you are very happy and Santa brings you all the goodies you want. If your like me then its all about giving rather than receiving For those of us lucky to receive lovely things and still complaining […]
David Ayer is best known for penning the action films Training Day (where Denzel Washington won his overdue best actor academy award), S.W.A.T, Street Kings The Fast and the Furious. In these films the narratives are chiefly centered upon dysfunctional antiheroes and their questionable morality. Ayer is a fantastic writer for films in this genre and he directed […]
A big congratulations to James Arthur on his X-Factor victory tonight. Personally I think both him and the lovely Jahmene were worthy of the crown as they genuinely have raw talent and I hope we don’t hear the last of ‘Mr Shy Giggles’ Jahmene. I think James if not surrounded by the right people will […]
This has to be one of the most sillest films I have seen in a long time. Admittedly I was being too ambitious expecting it to be better than 2010 Clash of the Titans idiotic remake, but this was utter crap! Its like the director (Libesman) and the writers (Mazeau and Leslie -Johnson) ignored the […]
The one thing that grates on me when it comes to a film with a predominantly black cast is when it’s released theatrically in the UK you have about 72 hour to catch it s before all traces of the film disappears It’s a harsh reality still facing black cinema but let me leave that debate […]
“Skyfall” – no matter what a James Bond movie is called it’s always guaranteed to be a box-office smash and with Sam Mendes at the helm we could all be assured that it would be a job well done. The opening scenes which begins in Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar, Bond is fighting fit and he finally […]
It’s becoming apparent that Matthew McConaughey plays lawyers better than any other character in his other films. Cast your minds back 16 years ago when he played a lawyer in the 1996 Joel Schumacher film ‘A Time to Kill’, he was brilliant – and he brings that same demeanor to this film too. After watching […]
So I promised a 3rd celebrity snap with Alyzah and here it is!! It’s…………ANGEL!!! Absolutely love him – he has done so well for himself and without sounding biased he is only going to get bigger!! I predict world domination for a man with humble beginnings – growing up in Shepherds Bush (W12), the same […]

Alyzah has had a very productive last few days bumping into all sorts of people. Here she is with 2012′s The Voice runner up Tyler James. My sister is on her way to becoming a star! Enjoy the snap Love and Light X
Normally I don’t get too excited when remakes of films are made, especially when I can still remember the first one clearly. Judge Dredd is supposed to be a fearful, no-nonsense, ruthless and borderline psychotic to deal with the criminals in his vicinity, and let’s be real, Sylvester Stallone just didn’t embody those principles in […]
Seth MacFarlane the genius behind super-successful U.S animated show – Family Guy and he is also the co-creator of American Dad/The Cleveland Show. Now he takes a big furry step onto the big screen with his feature debut Ted (Read Full Review: The London Film Review)
From the offset I already knew that the story line would be pants (no pun intended), but then again I knew it was one for the ladies, so went as a spectator rather than a film critic. Magic Mike (Channing Tatum) a talented male stripper who has dreams of making a success of himself, with […]
Tis the summer of comic superhero blockbusters and its safe to say that “The Dark Knight Rises” is the one we have all been waiting for….(Read Full Review: The London Film Review)
“Ice Age: Continental Drift” picks up right where the last film left off, with main characters and best friends Mammoth Manny (Ray Romano), sabre-toothed tiger Diego (Denis Leary) and Sid-The-Sloth (JohnLeguizamo) going round in circles on a primordial landscape. With family tag-a-longs Ellie (Queen Latifah) and the now teenage daughter Peaches (Keke Palmer). There’s not […]
Enter the new generation of the well known and loved, blue and red leotard wearing, NYC skyline loving vigilante superhero!! To my surprise The Amazing Spiderman was better than I had expected…(Read Full Review: The London Film Review)
I thought I had already written a review on this but alas, I had not. Let’s be honest other than original Bryan Singer X-Men film in 2000, there hasn’t been a single decent film of the franchise. I mean after ”X-Men Origins: Wolverine”, I pretty much buried these super heroes in a place where I […]
I really wanted to catch this film during last years London Film Festival as it was one of the most talked about films and it has definitely lived up to my expectations. Adapted from Lionel Shriver’s 2003 novel We Need to Talk About Kevin, writer-director Lynne Ramsay’s film is about a lovely, intelligent budding young sociopath […]
I promise to not rip into Kristen Stewarts dire acting abilities too much, but I really don’t understand the hype about this wooden one-dimensional ”actress”. Hmph! When I first heard she had been casted to play Snow White, I was disappointed, because I knew she just wouldn’t pull off the job…and she didn’t. This is a […]
After that awful film Bruno, I have no idea why I thought Sacha Baron Cohen’s new film The Dictator would make me laugh? Sacha Baron-Cohen in the childish bloodthirsty despot named General Aladeen, the titular head of Wadiya, a fictitious North African republic. His wild unanswered ways happen to draw ”unwanted” attention to him and […]
It’s been 33 years since Ridley Scott’s Alien, a film which has since gone on to become a classic and is widely regarded as one of sci-fi’s masterpieces. Written as a kind of prequel, Prometheus inhabits the same universe as the original film. In 2089, archeologist Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace, the original ‘Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’) and her […]
I haven’t really tuned into this years competition but I am so chuffed that the winners of this years Britain’s Got Talent is Ashleigh and her beloved dog Pudsey. What a fantasic, humble and inspiring duo. The love they have for each other is what makes them so cute. We have seen so many singer, […]
Hailed as the British version of Justin Beiber, Conor Maynard is fast becoming the the ”New Kid on the Block”. He has been a YouTube sensation for a while now, with amazing renditions of Chris Brown’s ”Crawl” and Taio Cruz’s ”Dynamite” among others. His debut single ”Can’t Say No” has just been released in the […]
This week is a week I am sure Tulisa C.. will be in a hurry to forget but due to the power of the internet, the Camden lass has to understand that this scandal will be around for the rest of her life. No matter how hard her publicist and managers try and ease the […]
”We need to start loving and honouring our legends while they are alive. People tear you down while you are here, and love you when your gone” (Tyrese Gibson). After hearing the sad passing of a true legend, this has to be the best tweet I had read all morning. Whitney Houston indeed was a […]
I just stumbled across this photo of Nate James and I at Mile End Station. What happened to his music career? I loved his songs ”Set The Tone ” and ”Kingdom Falls”. Kingdom falls was fantastic song, beautifully written and the video/promotion was all self funded. He then used the proceedings to go towards the […]
What a delightful surprise! Andrew Castle came into my work place by mistake just now, and intercepted him. I have to be honest I did find myself behaving a little giddy, as he has this silver fox charm about him. He is one of my favourite TV presenters because he is just so direct and […]
After a looooooong 2 hours of my life (judge me not as I know you was probably watching too) Little Mix have pipped Marcus Collins to winning this years XFactor, and it was pretty obvious that they were going to do so. Not to take anything away from Marcus as he has a lovely voice, […]
Lol guys don’t laugh at me but I bumped into Mohammed George who played Gus the streetsweeper in Eastenders (Who remembers him?!) Well I didn’t..at first glance I actually thought he was the singer Marques Houston *cough*, but my sister Angel was obviously on point and reminded me who he was before I ran up […]
Hey winners, Just remembered I have a photo of the gorgeous Kyra, myself and the lady of hype herself Ms Dynamite. We saw her backstage at the after party at Tinie Tempahs concert. Some dirty scrub stole Kyra phone and while out talking to police we saw Ms Dynamite walking out with her DJ No […]
Oh my goodness I almost fell to pieces after learning Kim Kardashian has filed for divorce from Kris Humphries. NOT!! I am however surprised it lasted 72 days, thought it would have been about 30! Hands up..who out there thought this marriage was the real deal?! I know some of you did…(suckers) Kim is without […]
Evening, I think it’s absolutely safe to say there is not a single human being on this planet, having reached adulthood, has not wished to go back into time. Whatever our reasons we have all been cursed with the everlasting punishment of not being able to to turn the clock back to change something that […]
