    Godland

    ★★★

    Beauty and the bleakness. New land with a sense of purpose and adventure.

    Nothing will test your faith more than religion.

    A Danish Priest is given the task to bring Christianity to Iceland. Its cold and harsh, the priest fights a brimstone wrath and fury, his inner demons whilst trying to survive the treacherous conditions. All whilst struggling with the Icelandic dialect and language of the locals.

  • Taffin

    Taffin

    ★★½

    Pierce Brosnan plays the hottest guy ever, in this completely formulaic action romp. Playing up the Irish setting with Irish folk music fight scenes, and scenic Irish settings.

    Taffin sticks up for the little guy and the little town against the corrupt state and dodgy bad guys. It's pretty naff, but as a bit of 80s fluff it's alright

    * Also a curiosity to see Father Ted and Father Jack playing other roles

    ★★

    Like a crude version of The Brave Little Toaster but without any of the heart.

    A few inspired moments but its pretty trashy

    Beautiful but too bleak and meandering
