WAR MACHINE (2017) – QUICK REVIEW
2017 DIRECTOR: David Michod 58/100 Brad Pitt delivers a slightly odd performance as an idealistic U.S., Glen McMahon, seemingly channelling his turn as Aldo Reine from Inglorious Basterds (2008), but with a more sincere edge. I must admit that the exploits General McMahon were a complete mystery to me being from the UK so I… Continue reading WAR MACHINE (2017) – QUICK REVIEW

AMERICAN SNIPER
2014 DIRECTOR: Clint Eastwood May contain spoilers! Clint Eastwood is a strange one for me. His popularity as a director is strong, seemingly with older film fans, those who grew with him from his early acting roles in TV series such as Rawhide, to his legendary Spaghetti Western era, his mainstream movies such as Dirty Harry (1971),… Continue reading AMERICAN SNIPER
