Neds **** (2010, Conor McCarron, Peter Mullan, Greg Forrest, Joe Szula) – Classic Movie Review 3341
Director-writer Peter Mullan’s semi-autobiographical film – his third movie after Orphans (1998) and The Magdalene Sisters (2002) – is a real heart-breaker, and an incredibly tough-minded, harsh-toned one, with the whiff, nay stench of reality […]
Sunset Song **** (2015, Agyness Deyn, Peter Mullan, Kevin Guthrie) – Movie Review
Terence Davies’s extremely moving and emotionally powerful 2015 coming-of-age epic film Sunset Song is adapted from the devastating 1932 classic novel by Scottish writer Lewis Grassic Gibbon. Veteran British auteur Terence Davies’s extraordinarily moving and […]

Orphans **** (1998, Douglas Henshall, Stephen Cole, Gary Lewis, Rosemarie Stevenson) – Classic Movie Review 1704
Fasten your seat belts for writer-director Peter Mullan’s excitingly tough and gritty 1998 black-toned comedy drama set in a poor district of Glasgow. There, Mrs Flynn’s four children gather in their late mother’s home on […]
Criminal *** (2000, John C. Reilly, Diego Luna, Maggie Gyllenhaal) – Classic Movie Review 1577
Despite the decent, quirky acting of the good cast, co-writer/co-producer/director Gregory Jacobs’s 2004 movie is a slightly disappointing if adequately twisty and entertaining American remake version of the much better 2000 Argentinian crime caper thriller […]
Hercules ** (2014, Dwayne Johnson, John Hurt, Ian McShane, Rufus Sewell) – Movie Review
The always likeable Dwayne Johnson is inevitable star casting as the Greek demigod Hercules, Zeus’s son, who has triumphed in his legendary 12 labours but is still haunted by the loss of his family at the hands […]
