Dead Man's Shoes (2006,  Unrated)
Dead Man's Shoes 5.0 Stars
Gritty, emotionally powerful, raw and what British Films should be made of. With an almost frightening reality to it, none of the cast could be faulted in this and the acting was of such a high standard that parts could have been mistaken as a documentary.

VERDICT: An absolute must see.

Trainspotting 5.0 Stars
I've lost count how many times I've watched this film now.

The Harsh shocking reality of Danny Boyle's film adapted from the novel by Irvine Welsh, was a controversial revolution at it's release and it still remains (in my opinion) the best film of it's genre, a timeless classic highlighting the problems of this huge epidemic.

The film that brought Ewin McGreggor to fame and by far his best performance to date. All the actors were cast extremely well included Carlyle's portrayal of 'Begsby' proving the hard man doesn't need to be a big mean looking man.

Pan's Labyrinth (El Laberinto del Fauno) 4.5 Stars
Very impressed, not what I was expecting tomorrow. Great storyline, magical, unexpected and held me all the way through, pleasantly surprised as I wouldn't normally go for this genre.

VERDICT: Definitely worth a watch, would certainly recommend it

Ong-Bak - The Thai Warrior (,  R)
Ong-Bak - The Thai Warrior 4.5 Stars
Probably the best Martial Arts film ever made. With huge fight scenes, stunning choreography and comical chase scenes.

Tony Jaa has been described as Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan and Jet Li all rolled into one. His speed, agility are a true force to be reckoned with, I hope he goes on to make many more films.

For any fan of Martial Arts, this is an absolute must see, don't be put off by the sub-titles - you'll be pleasently amazed.

Sleepers (1996,  R)
Sleepers 5.0 Stars
Just my all time favourite film, another re-watch.

Even though it is an all star cast and each play great roles, the best performance in this film has to go to young Joseph Perrino.

A film of child abuse, corruption, religeon, domestic abuse.

The story is told in 2 parts, one as the 4 young boys going to a correctional facility for a prank that went horribly wrong and the second part, revenge.

In addition to this it is believed to be based on a true story

Ne le Dis à Personne (Tell No One) (2006,  Unrated)
Ne le Dis à Personne (Tell No One) 4.5 Stars
This fairly lengthly feature is very well put together, from an enjoyable soundrack, believable acting and storyline which pulls you in emotionally, to a well plotted ended. This film ticks lots of boxes for me and I certainly recommend.

Possibly my favourite French speaking film ? Impressive.
