Silence of the Lambs
for The Silence of the Lambs (1991)
Mention "Silence of the Lambs" to someone, and they will most likely say something involving Hannibal Lecter. Most notably portrayed by Anthony Hopkins, this psychologist/psychopath has become an...

Bloody brilliant
for Braindead (1992)
The more observant of readers might have noticed the subtle pun in the title. For you see, Braindead is a very bloody film. In fact, if I am not mistaken, it still holds the record of "Film for...

xXx - Mind set to zero, volume to 11.
for xXx (2002)
xXx is not a film that tries to innovate the genre of action films, nor does it pretend to be very clever. It's just in it to be mindless action with witty one-liners, and there is nothing wrong...

Are there actually 2001? I didn't count them.
for 2001 Maniacs (2005)
I must admit, when I started watching 2001 Maniacs, I wasn't expecting particularly much. I picked it up in a "Five films for a tenner" deal somewhere, and it caught my fancy because one of the...

Saints with a taint.
for The Boondock Saints (1999)
Despite their nom de guerre, the Boondock Saints portrayed in this film are no goody-goody dudes in a white dress, tending the sick and the poor. They smoke, they swear, they pick fights, and they...

A film more golden than its army.
for Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)
Hellboy 2 is something out of that incredibly rare breed of film, the kind where a sequel is actually better than its predecessor. The first Hellboy is not actually a bad film, but it's hardly a...

Kitty?
for Monsters, Inc. (2001)
Looking through the list of reviews I've written so far, I must admit this one does stick out a bit, subject-wise. All the other films I've discussed involve lots of blood, fire, violence and more...

Wild Wild WTF?
for Wild Wild West (1999)
Let's get this out of the way first: Wild Wild West is not actually a good film. It is delightfully terrible in every possible way, but despite that, I love it. The storyline? Ridiculous. A mad...

Underworld? Yes. Underwear? Probably not.
for Underworld (2003)
Okay, let's not beat around the bush. The main reason I bought Underworld was because it had Kate Beckinsale in a very tight leather outfit on the front cover. It turned out to be a pretty good...

My name's Turkish. Funny name for an Englishman.
for Snatch. (2000)
Sometimes in life, you will stumble upon something so perfectly made, so utterly brilliant in every aspect, so completely flawless, it's like finding an eighty six carat diamond inside a dog....
