NO SPOILER TALK PLEASE

This film will divide a lot of people; they will either love it or hate it. Cruise is at his peak here, playing Digger Rockwell, a persuasive, larger-than-life oil tycoon whose drilling in Greenland breaks off a massive iceberg that threatens all of Europe and its his job to save humanity from his negligence.

The cinematography is brilliant, and the runtime is just over two hours. The supporting cast is great, featuring an amusingly bizarre half-dead cat. Critics have slammed it on Rotten Tomatoes with a 50% score, but the audience rating sits higher at 72%.

THE TWIST will send a lot of people to the chiropractor. It’s a risky film that feels like a Wes Anderson movie at times. Once the film finished, I was totally on board with it and liked where it went. It reminded me of the risks Cruise took with Vanilla Sky and Eyes Wide Shut.

Have you watched Digger? I recommend watching it purely to see which side of the fence you land on!

If I had to narrow it down to five and in no particular order, in my opinion it would be these five films, they always feel fresh; what are is your top five list?

Pirates of The Caribbean Dead Mans Chest was a brilliant sequel and in my opinion the best in the series

I’m rewatching this film at the moment; I’ve seen it a few times, I feel it’s a brilliant underrated dark true crime film and Depp is terrifying as Jimmy Whitey Bulger, thoughts? The dinner scene about the secret family recipe is incredible.

How do you feel about the film Jackie Brown?

Who else gets a lump in their throat when they watch this film and Forrest meets his son for the first time; as a dad this hits home even more now.

For a film that came out in 1995, the impact this movie has on me each time I watch it is heavy; the weight and intensity of the murky journey that Detective Lt. William Somerset & Detective David Mills go on to catch John Doe, with the brutal climax at the end…..Damn!

I just finished watching all 3 seasons in a row and did not watch the show when it initially came out, the third season despite it being very different from the first two was great.

I feel Alamo Brown’s character was awesome and feel we need a limited series to explore him more, thoughts?

We sat down with the great Prof Auerbach as he discussed many of his legendary cases one being the USS Hornet

Robin Williams meant a lot of different things to many people; for myself as a 90s kid, he was in many major kids films along with a few dramas later in his career; his passing hit deep, even though I never met him. What’s your favourite film that RW was in & why?

Al Pacino & Keanu Reeves knocked it out of the park with this hellish/biblical battle between good and evil what is your favourite quote from the film?

The Departed is a brilliant crime drama and Jack Nicholson’s Frank Costello is one of his most memorable roles, what’s your favourite quote from this movie?

Tarantino is one of my favourite directors love all his movies, as a movie buff I’ve always wrestled with who is the superior villain is - Help me decide!?

Both bring terrifying portrayals of the villain, which is your favourite?
