My Favourite Wife is one of the most quintessential examples of the screwball comedy genre — a film that juggles marital misadventures, romantic reversals, mistaken identities, and slapstick absurdity with sparkling charm.

Review of a quintessential romantic comedy that manages to be both a sparkling social satire and a surprisingly sincere exploration of vulnerability, forgiveness, and self-knowledge.

Review of the 1940's Hitchcock classic crime drama "Rope".

Review of the Frank Capra madcap crime comedy "Arsenic and Old Lace". Starring Cary Grant.

A View to a Kill is a flawed but entertaining entry in the Bond series, buoyed by its standout villains and high-stakes set pieces.

The Early Bird is vintage Norman Wisdom at his most lovable, chaotic, and endearing.

The Square Peg is a lovingly absurd, cleverly structured wartime comedy that captures the genius of Norman Wisdom while also poking fun at the serious world of war films.

The Man in the White Suit is a brilliant, deceptively simple film that manages to be laugh-out-loud funny, intellectually provocative, and deeply humane all at once.

The Edge of the World is not just a film—it’s a cinematic lament, a wind-swept ballad about change, memory, and the things we leave behind.

Kind Hearts and Coronets is not just a film—it’s a murder ballad in silk gloves, a hymn to civility laced with poison, and one of the most intelligent comedies ever committed to celluloid.

Scott of the Antarctic is not a film of sensational triumph or dramatized villainy—it is a memorial in cinematic form, a powerful and poetic tribute to human aspiration, endurance, and the quiet tragedies that shape national identity.

Green for Danger is a murder mystery that transcends its genre trappings, offering not only a satisfying puzzle but a rich sense of place, character, and mood. It’s at once a taut thriller, a black comedy, and a subtle exploration of human frailty under pressure.

Never Say Never Again is a curious relic—a “what if” Bond film that invites comparison rather than full immersion.
