Hi, I am Ross McWhan and I have a passion for films. I will watch anything from the very start of film to now. The age of a film and if it is Silent and/or black and white doesn't put me off a film and if it does for you, you are simply missing out on way to much.
I have other hobbies besides films such as Tae Kwon Do and playing the Bass Guitar. PLEASE DON'T ADD ME IF YOU LIKE HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL/JONAS BROTHERS AND ANY OTHER CRAP LIKE THAT. ONLY ADD ME IF YOU HAVE A SIMILAR FILM TASTE TO ME OR YOU ARE SOMEONE WHO CAN START A REAL CONVERSATION (ABOUT FILMS OR NOT). SAYING "HI" OR "HI, WHAT'S UP" DOESN'T COUNT. Check out my profile and do my polls and quizzes if you want. Have a nice day.  Masterpiece

Life or Something Like It
PG-13
What could have been a good story was turned into a pretty bad film.
The script is boring and run-of-the-mill. This film bored me so much I can't even remember the end. Probably because I had lost all interest and had turned into a drooling zombie. Bigger review coming soon.
Something's Gotta Give
PG-13
What american pie did for reviving the teen comedy genre, this did for reviving the Rom-Com. After the classic Sleepless In Seattle, many other romantic comedies came to the surface soon after such as the likeable One Fine Day, but this smart, well written and directed modern masterpiece did all the riviving work.
Jack proves yet again exactly why he is my favorite actor and the rest of the cast are great in there roles aswell. Yes, even Keanu Reeves, who I still don't see why most people don't like him.
Although this doesn't quite top When Harry Met Sally, this comes very close to doing so.
You've just Gotta Give this film praise.
The Wolf Man
Unrated
1940's universal monster classic remade over 60 years later? Well, i'm not sure what the outcome will be. A great cast, but I love the orginal, so we'll have to see how this plays out.
Aliens
R
As much as I love this film, personally I disagree with the claim that this sequel is better than the original horror classic.
Much more action packed and gory and a much thicker plot is great, but this just didn't have the atmosphere the original held. Maybe this is because there are much more locations used instead of just the ship like in the original and therefore this didn't have the claustaphobia factor.
However, this still remains a 5 star film because it is still stunningly good. Well done James Cameron, but sadly you didn't quite top the first film.
Roxanne
PG
Another early Steve Martin masterpiece. Sweet and hilrarious at the same time with each joke so damn funny. The inept fire crew are hilarious but C.D Bales, played by Steve Martin, is the best along with his big nose which you could really class as another character altogther. The reason you could do so is that the nose makes the film, and without it, this film wouldn't have boasted one of my favourite comedy scenes ever. The scene with Bales coming up with 20 better insults for himself than a rude punter who's best is "Big nose".
Johnny English
PG
The British version of The Naked Gun and also a James Bond spoof doesn't dissapoint. Rather under-rated in my opinion. All the mishaps Johnny finds himself in are hilarious. Rowan Atkinson has perfect timing and proves that he is one of the greatest Britsih comedy stars to ever emerge from our country. He is a great relief of our othewise failing country.
.The Bean movies and TV series
.The Black Adder Series
.This film
and plenty other films of his make me proud to be British.

1.
The Shining
R
A masterpiece of a film. Haunting Camera Angles, eery ear piercing music and brillaint sets all add up to make a brillant, atmospheric horror film. This is my favorite kubrick film, horror film, Jack Nicholson film and above all, my favorite film of all time.
2.
Psycho
R
How to explain psycho? There are no words to explain it. Words like Brillant, Fantastic and Awesome aren't even good enough.
3.
A Clockwork Orange
R
Another Kubrick masterpiece, A clockwork orange is an amazing film with a great cast. And the narrative from the films main character, Alex, adds to the brilliance of this film.
5.
Misery
R
Misery is a fantastic mix of great acting, great suspense, great dialogue and great direction. James Cann is on top form and Kathy Bates is unforgettable as Annie Wilkes, a deranged and obssesed fan.
6.
A Room for Romeo Brass
R
A drama which is really powerful and unique. Paddy Considine plays his part with such realism. As do the boys who are as far from bad actors as you can get and are (or were) far better child actors than Cole and Dylan Sprouse are now. Unmissible, sure-fire entertainment!

The Dark Knight
by Sam
What a masterpiece this film is! This is one of my all time favourite films ever because I just thought that basically everything in this film was perfect. This is one of the few films that I loved that had a lot of awesome qualities involved. Qualities like different styles of acting with the different sort of characters within the film. First of all I am going to start my review by saying about the plot. The plot is awesome. It is one of those plots that have quite a lot of different genres in it. It is obviously action packed and has now become my favourite action film of all time. It is really tense and suspenseful. It made my heart beat like it never has before but I am afraid it isnt my favourite thriller. Doesnt beat the suspense of Psycho, The Shining, Jaws and Silence Of The Lambs. This is also a very emotional film with a lot of dramatic turns and twists that occur in the film. It is a plot that sounds quite short but when you watch the film it isnt a short plot at all. It goes on but with a lot of good scenes and scenes that the viewers didnt know anything about before the film was released. The script fits perfectly with the style and creativity of the film. The film basically begins how Batman Begins ends really when Scarecrow appears at the very beginning and doesnt appear again in the film which is a bit of a relief because the film wouldnt be that good if Scarecrow was in the rest of the film. Christopher Nolan directed this film so well and because of this he has now officially become one of my all time favourite directors. I wasnt that keen on The Prestige that he directed but I loved Memento and Batman Begins. But Chris Nolan himself said that he wouldnt be able to make any better film than he has The Dark Knight. I dont think he has made one bad film really. They are all great successes. When you first see the title of this film, it doesnt really sound that strong really but when the film is on in front of you it fits perfectly with the plot and other various things in the film. It is quite bizarre because knight means like soldier or hero but it fits Batman perfectly because he is the Dark Knight. In other words like the dark hero. Now onto the characters and then I will write about each of the casts performances. Batmans character is obviously really good but the Batman character in this one is a lot darker with a lot more inventive technology like Alfred Pennyworth mostly helps Bruce with ideas of what to do with the technology but Lucius makes it for him and gives Bruce the equipment especially when Bruce can afford to buy it anyway because he is so rich. There is something that we see in Bruce in this film that we have never seen before. For example, he doesnt like killing people when he is Batman but when Joker comes along that is another matter. Also it brings out whether Batman is a real hero when he doesnt really kill any of the troublemakers of Gotham. He doesnt so much chuck the evil people away in a bin he mostly sweeps them out of the city and tries to keep peace within Gotham. Also, there isnt really that much talk about Batmans past in this film either because his past really effected him when he became Batman. But I wont say anymore about Batman because I might spoil it for you whether you have seen this film or not. The Joker is the best character in the whole film I think because he has a psychotic character to him and because he is a clown that makes the Joker even more of an evil, dangerous and psychotic character. In this film there is some secret past of the Joker that we didnt know about but as I said I am not going to say. There is a lot of different sort of situations that Joker plots on when terrorising Gotham. Like where, when, who and how he can perform terrorism in Gotham. It is like the Joker has a lot of accomplices but as he loses them he gains them back again which is quite bizarre but pretty easy aswell. The Joker is a character that can affect Batman not just physically in a fight but emotionally aswell. There is a comment about Heath Ledgers performance as the Joker later on in the review. Harvey Dent is a character who is making extra special out of himself like becoming the new hero of Gotham along with Batman. He is sort of like Bruce Waynes heir in the Wayne business. This film is making him become like the un-superhero Batman who is keeping peace in Gotham until the Joker comes along and then changes things in his life forever. He comes along at an awkward time between Bruce and Rachels relationship as friends as both of them have hidden feelings for each other. I didnt so much like Rachels character in this film but performance in this one was better than Batman Begins. Lieutenant Gordon gets more and more involved in this film. He is in a lot more scenes in different sorts of situations. Alfred and Lucius Fox are obviously involved in this film but not as involved as they both were in Batman Begins. Now, onto the acting Morgan Freeman was good as Lucius Fox again and so was Sir Michael Caine as Alfred Pennyworth. Gary Oldman improved a lot in this film. He was a lot more dramatic because his character became more personal and got more involved in not just the whole film in general but it the lives of most of the characters within the film particularly Batman and Harvey Dent. Well done, Gary!! Aaron Eckhart was excellent as Harvey Dent because he performed really well as a hero but also as a murderer as soon as he became Two-Face. I wouldnt refer Harvey Dent a villain at all because he soon went mad for a reason which contains a spoiler. The Two-Face make up that Aaron has to have on his face is absolutely superb because the one half of his real face obviously looks real but when you see his other half of his face as a like ripped apart and burned aswell face. Because the make up was so good on Two-Face, I couldnt really tell whether the half face was a mask or just computer visual effects. To me I think it was both mask and visual effects. When Harvey becomes Two-Face I really felt for him because of what he became and also because of something that happens. Maggie Gyllenhaals performance as Rachel Dawes is good but not brilliant. She acted a bit dull. I couldnt see her love for either Bruce or Harvey at all. But I did think that she was far better than Katie Holmes was as Rachel in Batman Begins. Christian Bale makes a very impactful and awesome return as Batman once again. Christians performance is a lot darker as Batman than Batman Begins was by far. He performs a lot more stunts and greater action sequences within the film. But the greatest performance of the whole film and probably one of the greatest performances of the year which is Heath Ledgers terrifying performance as the Joker. Heath creates a character that nobody has ever seen before. He delivers a performance that will be remembered for the ages and that can never be forgotten. Heath creates a voice that is completely different from Jack Nicholsons Joker not to mention his own voice. Heaths Joker is totally different to Jacks Joker because Heaths was more psychological and menacing but Jacks was more comical if you get what I mean. Like for example Jack Nicholsons make up makes him look like Jack Nicholson but with Heath Ledgers make up on and the wig and so forth makes it looks hard to identify the Joker in The Dark Knight as Heath Ledger. Some critics say and even I say that Jack Nicholsons Joker is very hard to beat and no one will ever beat him but that failed until I saw this film. I think Heath used a lot of different things that leaded up to his own Joker like watching psychological movies like A Clockwork Orange. He kept a diary during filming of how he can change things around in the character and also how he can perform his different talents as the Joker. The make-up is absolutely superb on Heath. The scars that go across his lips look like real scars unlike the Tim Burton version on Jack Nicholson. Heaths hair in this film suited the Joker perfectly too because the Joker can be imagined easily with long hair like Heath appears with in this film. Heaths Joker was more deadly than Jacks. A sick thing with Heaths Joker was that the Dark Knight Joker had yellow teeth, the actor was a lot younger and laugh was a lot better. Heaths Joker laugh is really joyful in a real psychological way. It is a laugh that can always stay in your head and cant stop thinking about. It is quite a quirky feeling but a really good one aswell if you understand what I mean. Heath Ledger brings a quote that the Joker has never stated before in a film. For example Why so serious? and there are some other spin-chilling quotes that Heath comes up with in this film which you will have to wait and see. His performance was so good in this film that his performance has become my favourite supporting actor performance even beating Samuel L. Jackson in Pulp Fiction. Heath will get an Oscar for his performance. I would be very surprised if he doesnt win or even doesnt get nominated. This is his film. It is a shame that he isnt around to applaud his performance as the Joker. This film will win Oscar for either Best Actor or Best Supporting Actor for Heath Ledger, definitely Best Sound, maybe Best Visual Effects and definitely Best Make Up. Best action film ever made. Best superhero film ever made and favourite film of 2008 so far.R.I.P: Heath Ledger.Hey, you should really see this!

Juno
by Sam
Juno is definitely one of the funniest films of 2007. This film brings a lot of delight and pleasure to the viewers not just because it is funny but it is beautiful what a teenage girl becomes when she discovers she is pregnant and what she decides to do aswell. Also, it isnt just the situation that Juno is in, it is also all of the characters that are involved in the film. I love that a cool chav-ish girl like Juno gets pregnant by nerd and quite bizarre Paulie Bleeker. Juno acts like a girl who is a bit of a know it all and acts all hard and like she is so tough but when she becomes pregnant everything changes around. I am sure that everyone who watches the film and even most of the characters in the film wonder why her name is Juno. It is just a very unknown and bizarre name that apparently has the name of Zeus wife in Ancient Greek which is what Juno mentions in the film. Ellen Page delivers an outstanding performance as Juno. Her performance is one of my favourite leading actress performances and is certainly my Oscar Best Actress winner in 2007. I believe she should have won instead of other two favourites Marion Cotillard in La Vie En Rose and Julie Christie in Away From Her. But Ellen should have won her Oscar. Michael Cera delivers an average performance as Paulie Bleeker. I think a better actor could have been his character. He was better in this than he was in Superbad. Jennifer Garners performance is excellent aswell as soon to be adoptive mother Vanessa Loring. I think she was snubbed from earning her Best Supporting Actress Oscar nomination. One that I think should have been her instead of Amy Ryan in Gone Baby Gone. At first I didn?t think that an actress like Jennifer Garner who appears in Elektra, Daredevil and other fantasy films be any good in this film but she really was brilliant! J.K. Simmons was good as Junos father Mac MacGuff, Allison Janney was poor as Bren MacCuff, Jason Bateman was pretty good as soon to be adoptive father Mark Loring but worst of all of them was Olivia Thirlby as Junos best friend Leah. She acted a bit too hot as Junos best friend. And also Juno looks like a completely different sort of girl to Leah when they hang out and be best mates. My second favourite Oscar Best Picture winner after No Country For Old Men. This film is like last years Little Miss Sunshine. This is definately the number one comedy of 2007. This film is very similar to Knocked Up but better. Masterpiece!Hey, you should really see this!

A Streetcar Named Desire
by Sam
This is without a doubt my favourite Marlon Brando film and is my favourite performance from him and even one of my favourite performances by an actor in a leading role of all time. Marlon Brando was one of my favourite actors when I saw my first film from him The Godfather. I loved his performances in On The Waterfront and Apocalypse Now aswell. I have watched 4 of his films so far and not one has disappointed me yet. Marlon Brando portrays Stanley Kowalski so well because he acts like charming and nice looking guy as Marlon actually was at that age but he also acted like a slightly disturbed character with a lot of different problems. Marlon is good as portraying both heroes and villains. He was a good hero in On The Waterfront but he was a good villain in this aswell. I am unsure who is the real villain in this film between Stanley and Blanche because they are both very puzzling and mysterious characters to calculate. I think Stanley is more of the villain than Blanche is. The quote Stanley speaks in this film Hey, Steeeeeeella! is a classic and a memorable quote aswell. Vivien Leigh delivers the best performance from the whole cast and in my opinion the greatest leading actress performance of all time. Vivien Leigh portrays a mysterious character who is starting to get old and she still likes fashion design. She goes to visit her sister and meets her husband and she moves in for months and this causes a real rivalry and confrontation between Blanche and Stanley and Blanches younger sister Stella is torn between the two of them. Kim Hunters performance was another outstanding one aswell because she easily showed her emotion towards this character and shows that she cant choose between her husband and her sister. Karl Malden does well aswell as Mitch. Mitch is a man who falls in love with Blanche and he doesnt know how old she is until near the end of the film. I think this film is the best film that I have seen where the entire cast have delivered the best performances. Vivien, Karl and Kim all earned Best Actress, Supporting Actor and Supporting Actress Oscars but Marlon was nominated but didnt win. I think that would have made history of two actors and two actresses winning all four Oscars for the same film which this film won 3 of the 4. I dont think a film has ever done that before. Marlon should have won though. His performance in this film is my number 5 Best Leading Actor performance of all time. This is definitely a masterpiece. This film begins with a collaboration between Elia Kazan and Marlon Brando. One of greatest films I have ever seen!!!Hey, you should really see this!
My favourite Marlon Brando film. My 5th favourite leading actor performance (Marlon Brando) and 1st favourite leading actress performance (Vivien Leigh).
