Christmas films are mostly the same, The magic of Christmas, whatever the f that means. Redemption and forgiveness, why? And romance, boring. So when you have Santa fighting off an assassination attempt, you have to pay attention.
Anyway… when recently searching for Christmas films that weren't littered with cheer and good will, I found Fatman. I briefly scanned the synopsis, something about Santa trying to save Christmas, a prepubescent kid whose got the ‘ump and hired a hitman trying to...

We’ll talk about Gremlins! That’s right, it is a Christmas movie since the events played out in it feature around Christmas Eve and there is a shit load of snow, real or fake makes no difference to me!
So with that out of the way, did you know that Gremlins was loosely coined in the 1920s amongst RAF pilots and engineers?
Gremlins were mythological creatures used as a comical way to pass off anomalies when things malfunctioned in the aircrafts at that time.
So how did we go from that...

True Romance is, first and foremost, entertaining. It’s a ridiculous story with unlikely situations and unbelievable relationships but it’s fun to watch and, let's face it, with most modern movies, there's not a lot of fun to be had these days.

Get Paul's reaction to Westworld and find out if Westworld is worth watching.
A great premise of Crichton’s was to put people in a theme park setting. Where obnoxious people relax, expecting to enjoy themselves and let their fat hang over their waistbands. This theme park idea also puts these people in a rat maze equivalent, where they are forced to stick to the safe routes. Putting people in a captive environment, making them vulnerable, non-suspecting and unprepared is a great time to f...

Get Paul's reaction to Cross of Iron and find out if Cross of Iron is worth watching.
Who would have thought that the former country of Yugoslavia, a director necking whiskey all day and money from a porn director, would have combined to create a war film that still receives accolades to this day!
It is 1943, and the German army—ravaged and demoralised—is hastily retreating from the Russian front. In the midst of the madness, conflict brews between the aristocratic yet ultimately...

Paul asks... Is Gran Turismo worth watching?
How the hell does this happen? A movie based on a racing simulator. Not a video game, but a racing simulator.
Now I know that Gran Turismo is technically a video game, but it never had a story, it was just about winning races and buying stuff to get better cars so you could win more races and buy more stuff. There is no other gameplay than that.
But I never once thought that the game had such a compelling story that this should be a film!...

Paul asks the question, is A Haunting in Venice worth watching?
Paul's ill-researched opinion of Poirot films is that murder happens on a cruise liner, a chateau, or a stately home. Someone gets dead and Poirot bores the audience to death throughout the duration explaining to the simpletons in the room, who dunnit. All the time basking in his massive ego.
Is Paul right?

It’s a fact of life that things age. I, too, am ageing, quite well I think but yes, all things age, and entertainment ages as well.
Rewatching something from just a few years ago may make you question your own sanity and life choices. Something that seemed so poignant at the time, something you connected with back then, now seems like a complete disappointment.
Gangster No. 1 tries to add a uniquely English charm to the whole Gangster movie genre. The film covers the rise of a London...

There are times... only a few times, mind you, where a piece of media, whether it be a film or TV show, grabs and squeezes you by the s*****m and holds you captive till you've finished watching.
Boiling Point is high tension, anxiety inducing and difficult to watch film. If you've ever worked in a kitchen, then this film might make you reach for the antidepressants or start banging your head repeatedly against a wall. You may even reach for the bottle of prosecco your partner has been saving...

Ah, the algorithms have smiled upon us! Our intrepid reviewer Paul stumbled upon "Kandahar" on Amazon Prime Video, likely nestled between a documentary about conspiracy theories and a rom-com you'd never admit to watching. Strap in, folks; we're venturing into the cinematic Wild West.
🎥 What's the deal with "Kandahar"? Is it a hidden masterpiece or another addition to the 'stream and forget' club? Paul's got opinions and he's not afraid to use 'em. From dissecting characters you'll forget by...

Get ready for the ultimate clash of eras as Paul and Samir dive into the glittering world of 'Elvis 2022.' Witness Samir, a man so lost in the 50s and 60s that he thinks Elvis is the Second Coming, try to convince Paul—a man who believes the King's crown is made of nothing but overrated sequins—that this movie is worth its weight in gold lamé. Will Paul find a newfound appreciation for blue suede shoes, or will Samir finally admit that maybe, just maybe, Elvis isn't the centre of the musical...

Ah, yes, gather 'round, cinephiles and casual Netflix surfers, for Paul and Samir are about to take you on a cinematic journey back to 1988. No, we're not talking about mullets and neon spandex; we're diving deep into the Oscar-nominated film, "Mississippi Burning."
Let's not kid ourselves. The film might have you believe the FBI agents were practically Marvel superheroes, just missing the capes. But let's sprinkle a little reality on this Hollywood sundae. The FBI wasn't exactly handing out...

Get ready for a piss-poor nostalgic ride as Paul and Samir, both stuck in their 40s but dreaming of the swinging '60s, take on "The Ipress File" in what promises to be the quirkiest live stream review ever. Paul's got his trusty drink by his side, because, you know, nothing says movie critique like a good old tipple. Meanwhile, Samir's humour is so avant-garde, you'll be questioning reality itself. Picture this: Paul reminiscing about a film he barely remembers while Samir praises it like...

Join Paul and Samir... again, for their ponderings on Ridley Scott's American Gangster (2007).
Ridley Scott is one of the most acclaimed directors of our time. He's made some of the most iconic films of the past few decades, including Blade Runner, Alien, and Gladiator. But he's also made some flops, like Prometheus and Exodus: Gods and Kings.
So which Ridley Scott are we getting with American Gangster? The intelligent and visionary director who crafts complex and morally ambiguous...

This week, we have a guest! Join Paul, Samir, and Henry of The Bond Geek for a live stream of their thoughts on the 1996 film Mission: Impossible!
Paul seems to remember liking the film, but that could be because he was receiving fellatio in the darkest corner of the cinema while watching it.
Samir doesn't like Tom Cruise movies, for reasons not clearly explained. It's safe to assume that he'll hate it, but perhaps we'll be able to nail down his dislike of Cruise.
Henry suggested it... So...

First off, Paul. Ah, Paul, the man who enjoys films about corrupt police so much, he probably dreams in noir. The "Bad Lieutenant" experience will likely transcend mere viewing for him; it'll be a spiritual journey. Watching him delve into the heart of...

Roll out the red carpet and tighten your bow ties, ladies and gentlemen, because Paul and Samir are about to make cinematic history. Okay, not really, but they are planning to live stream their review of "The Great Gatsby," the 2013 version that may or may not be better than the 1974 film—which Paul has declared as the equivalent of stepping on a cold cat turd, in the dark, whilst havig your home robbed.

If you’ve ever wondered what it's like to watch someone critique a movie based on a literary classic without having read the book, you’re in luck! Paul has managed to remain utterly oblivious to the Gatsby world. His unbiased, if uninformed, perspective promises a unique take on this age-old story. Will he recognize the green light? Does he even know what Jazz Age means? There's a certain joy in watching someone venture into the unknown, especially when they don't know where they're...

In the vast, unpredictable universe of YouTube livestreams, few stand out for their earnest charm and unapologetic ignorance as the sessions by Paul and Samir. This week, they're diving deep into the fantastical realms of 'The Green Knight', a 2021 cinematic experience they both have resolutely refused to watch. It's not every day you get a review from two individuals so fresh to the subject they have quite literally no idea what they're talking about.

Now, as for their review of "Chaplin", what could be more appropriate for this iconic film than the tandem of Paul, the uninformed novice, and Samir, the forgetful veteran? Their perspectives on Robert Downey Jr.'s mesmerising portrayal of Charlie...
