  Face/Off 1997

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 16 Mar 2025

  In 1997, John Travolta and Nicolas Cage quite literally faced off in the hit action film, about an FBI agent and a terrorist who swap faces.

  Made during John Travolta’s resurgence following Pulp Fiction and after Nicolas Cage proved he was an action star with The Rock and Con Air.

  John Travolta and Nicolas Cage put everything into it and have a lot of fun at the same time. With John Woo calling the shots, bringing his trademark Hong Kong…

  Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 26 May 2024

  It’s not as good as Fury Road, let’s get that out of the way and let’s be honest, it was never going to be.

  However, this was an epic backstory to Furiosa that was an incredible big screen experience and it couldn’t have been more different to Fury Road.

  Anya and Chris are both brilliant and you have to hand it to George for continuing to blow us away with his visionary storytelling.

  It’ll make for an amazing double bill with Fury Road and I will be watching both many times in future.
