Scorsese does a masterful job of updating a classic here. It was great he used both Robert Mitchum and Gregory Peck again in this version.
The tension between Nolte and Lange is palpable especially as Max Cady continues to invest himself in his revenge.
The ending is a little drawn out and far-fetched, but highly recommended.

Gruesome, grisly, Gothic horror
There is no true horror than the horror humans create themselves. The Picture of Dorian Gray is a classic tale of hubris and vanity, and the sins that associate themselves with such. Oscar Wilde's macabre style is fascinating for its time, and the idea that the painting is a representation of his Gray's own soul is intelligent.

Dated and a bit cheesy (0 more)
The 1st of Stephen King's books to be made into a movie and I would consider one of his best.

I particularly like the music in the movie, the way that it is both menacing and shows Carrie's innocence.


Also a cracking ending which has been copied many times but never bettered.

A decent update of a classic story
A decent update of the Tarzan story. An impressive cast including Margot Robbie but it's Christoph Waltz who steals the show. Some big action scenes are good but on the whole it's rather predictable and some scenes are a bit silly.

Comedy classic
One of my favourite Eddie Murphy comedies. He is a down and out who gets to trade places with a rich yuppie in a big firm in order to prove a bet. Very funny scenes as the two switch places. Still one of my favourite comedies to date. If you missed it give it a whirl.

Cult classic
This certainly caused a stir in the 90's, a film looking at a Bonnie & Clyde relationship of 2 killers on the run and the media fascination with them. A very interesting film with a mix of visual styles to it. It will certainly cause a divide in opinion.

2017 | Rock
Styles had a hand in writing every track on the album, and there’s a surprising amount of homage paid to classic FM rock – he’s at his best when he cuts loose and has some fun, as on the raucous rocker Kiwi
Critic- John Murphy
Original Score: 3.5 out of 5

Very enjoyable
This is similar to the King Arthur movie with Charlie Hunnam. Urban street meets classic legend. It was fun and action packed adventure with the right amount of rogueish antics. Again my only issue was with the villain of the story, who just seemed too weak. Overall, it was well made and enjoyable. Id watch it again
