Movie reviews of Jack Bottomley

The Lego formula has a few mismatched pieces this time but still entertains. Review

35 years later and this sci-fi creation still entices with a ‘film of the year’ contender of a sequel. Review

Matthew Vaughn’s sequel is inferior to the first but still has its moments. Review

The Stephen King adaptation you have been waiting for and then some. Review

Wheatley’s shootout action comedy is a blast! Review

Twisted, stylish and uncomfortably understandable, Alice Lowe’s directorial debut makes an impression. Review

A breathtaking film and one that is a Star Wars story for our times... Review

A breathtaking work of cinema magic, possibly the best film of 2016... Review

Neither abysmal, nor great; it is just there and we all are left wondering ‘why?’... Review

A film that deserves to be seen. Review

An uneven horror-comedy that does not pretend to be anything other than gory madness. Review

Another dose of vibrant, if familiar, comedy-drama. Review

A refreshingly wonderful portrayal of the working man’s fight against the political machine. Review

Watchable but cannot stand out from the numerous slashers due to dull stretches and restraint in going for the jugular. Review

A standout found footage offering, well made and gnarly. Review

May not be as bad as you thought but it commits a (in many ways) worse sin of being an utterly pointless reboot of a dried up series. Review

An intelligent monster film that is thematically close to Ishirō Honda’s 1954 original Gojira,... Review

A brilliant British found-footage horror... Review

Not always exciting but a constantly interesting look at a subject, which seems all but forgotten in the long history of the modern world. Review

Stunningly animated, consistently funny and with a plot so generous your misgivings seem to melt away... Review

A hugely entertaining TV documentary that makes a fine companion to Ron Howard’s Rush. Review

An absorbing true-life thriller, well shot and featuring Nicolas Cage’s best performance in a while. Review

David France’s passionate documentary covers the era of aids-related mass death with care and looks at this activist effort with pride. Review

Old school but groundbreaking, spectacular but deep and action-packed but tense. Review
