Reviews 1 to 20 of 364

  1. 4.2 out of five for Inglorious Basterds

    Western-style war caper. Brutal but compelling, with plenty of twists. Tarantino's definitely got a swagger to him. reviewed on Mar 8th from Mike Stenhouse (906732550)

  2. 4.5 out of five for Dieter Rams At The Design Museum

    His work might look even more current now, despite being 50 years old. The guy's a legend. reviewed on Mar 7th from Mike Stenhouse (906339047)

  3. 2.8 out of five for Daybreakers

    Good idea and stylish but it just wasn't very engaging with mediocre performances from good actors and an incomplete plot. reviewed on Mar 7th from Mike Stenhouse (903951491)

  4. 2.0 out of five for The Losers At The Stag's Head

    Stripped down rock and roll that cleared the room. Ooops. reviewed on Feb 27th from Mike Stenhouse (879639425)

  5. 3.4 out of five for Josh Weller At Barden's

    Sounded a bit American college rock for my taste. Very tight though... reviewed on Feb 27th from Mike Stenhouse (876473110)

  6. 4.0 out of five for Danimal Kingdom At Barden's

    Charming as always with a bunch of new songs. Great! reviewed on Feb 27th from Mike Stenhouse (876155114)

  7. 4.4 out of five for The Constant Gardener

    John Le Carre story directed by Fernando Meirelles. Classy political thriller. Well worth watching. reviewed on Feb 13th from Mike Stenhouse (9074327156)

  8. 4.4 out of five for Pandorum

    Tense, clever and psychotic sci-fi thriller. Dark and entertaining in an Alien-kind-of-way. Could easily watch it again. reviewed on Feb 8th from Mike Stenhouse (805262575)

  9. 3.5 out of five for The Goods

    Jeremy Piven is great and the film has enough good moments to be fun. reviewed on Feb 7th from Mike Stenhouse (8782086291)

  10. 4.6 out of five for Egyptian Hip Hop At The Stag's Head

    Made their influences their own. Bit more prog this time. Brad Pitt remains awesome. reviewed on Feb 4th from Mike Stenhouse (8652941906)

  11. 4.5 out of five for Danimal Kingdom At The Stag's Head

    Charming as ever and great to see him live at last. Pop guitar indie synth. Great! reviewed on Feb 4th from Mike Stenhouse (8652836328)

  12. 3.9 out of five for Yuk At The King's Head

    Teenage Fanclub, Pavement, Smashing Pumkins and Dinosaur Jr influences. The 90s revival is happening! reviewed on Feb 4th from Mike Stenhouse (8648514090)

  13. 4.0 out of five for The Dirt By Motley Crue

    Surprisingly candid joint auto-biography of a band famous for hedonism but with a dark undercurrent. reviewed on Feb 3rd from Mike Stenhouse (788622788)

  14. 3.8 out of five for Avatar

    Epic and breathtaking. A bit predictable though. Could be the new Star Wars for the young 'uns? reviewed on Feb 1st from Mike Stenhouse (8472705020)

  15. 4.5 out of five for A Prophet

    Brutal but intelligent French movie. Great characters, interesting plot and wonderfully shot. Great. reviewed on Jan 31st from Mike Stenhouse (779773970)

  16. 4.8 out of five for Anansi Boys By Neil Gaiman

    Completely charming book about self-confidence, honesty and mythology. A wonderful adult fairy tale. reviewed on Jan 22nd from Mike Stenhouse (753216729)

  17. 4.6 out of five for Cryptonomicon By Neal Stephenson

    Beautifully crafted two part story. Loved the historical; didn't like the mirroring. Good though. reviewed on Jan 22nd from Mike Stenhouse (753213664)

  18. 4.7 out of five for El Agentino In San Cristobel De Las Casas

    Incredibly tasty Argentinian beef from lovely owners. Tiny bit expensive but worth it... reviewed on Dec 17th, 2009 from Mike Stenhouse (6755718986)

  19. 4.0 out of five for Paranormal Activity

    Slowly builds tension with some genuiney creepy, scary moments. Imagination + good story > budget. reviewed on Dec 5th, 2009 from Mike Stenhouse (6373788951)

  20. 4.0 out of five for Ip Man

    Awesome martial arts but the patriotism and morality got a bit painful after a while. reviewed on Dec 5th, 2009 from Mike Stenhouse (6356898474)
