📽️ I just reviewed Hard Boiled (1992) on #letterboxd

A ★★★★★ review of Hard Boiled (1992)
John Woo is a master of action movies and Hard Boiled is his magnum opus. The action is balletic in its choreography and even the bursts of blood from gunshots appear to be choreographed. It’s an incr...

I love this film. It’s one of the best Star Trek films ever made. Nicholas Meyer does an excellent job of injecting a more human element into the almost sterile atmosphere of the first film. The produ...

Yet another fantastic example of physical comedy being enough to make a film entertaining, as long as the physical comedy is creative. Peter Sellers shines yet again in the leading role. The gymnasium...

A ★★ review of Return of the Living Dead Part II (1988)
Quite the step down from the original. The film in general just feels very sanitised compared to the original. And I was pretty bored by the end of it. There’s a few funny moments and one really fun m...

I really enjoyed this film. It’s a crazy ride into madness that does a great job of depicting the spiral of the human psyche collapsing in on itself. I gotta say though, the best line in the whole fil...

This is a ton of fun that mixes the gothic elements of classic vampire films with the superb gore effects of the 80s. Chris Sarandon is wonderfully creepy as Jerry Dandridge, the vampire. Whilst the p...

Compared to the subsequent films in the series… man does this one drag. There’s a reason why the sequels put Clouseau front and centre. The cast aren’t bad, they’re really talented, but the film just ...

Friedkin is well known for The Exorcist and The French Connection and to a lesser extent To Live and Die in LA. I think Sorcerer is up there with his greatest films. There’s something so visceral and ...

Shane Black making a Parker film sounds like a 5 star film. The problem is that it’s not really a Parker film. And to be honest the blame doesn’t fall squarely on Black’s shoulders. There’s a big Mark...

Honestly this mini series is exceptional. It is less of a war film and more of an anti war film. It conveys the futility of war brilliantly and paints a portrait of the tedium of long naval patrols. T...

George A. Romero’s original is a classic for good reason. It created a whole sub-genre of horror film and it may seem sacrilegious to remake it. But, when Romero writes the script and you get Tom Savi...
