The Princess Bride

The Princess Bride Title Card

The Princess Bride Still

Hilarious and eminently quotable, a fairlytale following the Dread Pirate Roberts on a quest to save his Princess Bride, definitely more for adults than kids, but will be enjoyed by both.

★★★★★

Lost in Translation

Lost in Translation Title Card

Lost in Translation Still

A melancholic poem about feeling lost and existentially lonely, a perfect movie.

★★★★★

Edge of Tomorrow

Edge of Tomorrow Title Card

Edge of Tomorrow Still

An original summer blockbuster, one that ended Tom Cruise’s hellishly long streak of mediocre films; a lot of fun and an interesting concept even if it doesn’t hold up under intense scrutiny.

★★★★✩

Killing Them Softly

Killing Them Softly Title Cards Small

Killing Them Softly Still

A slow and thoughtful movie with some strong messages about capitalism, great acting from an ensemble cast and some interesting directing make this a solid movie.

★★★★✩

North by Northwest

North By Northwest Title Card

North By Northwest Still

An iconic film, so famous even if you haven’t seen it you’ll recognise a dozen scenes as parodied by countless other movies and tv shows — Cary Grant at his best and one of Hitchcock’s finest mysteries, a fish out of water.
