Review It Yourself

Sean reviews a film about a guy who’s "bought a proper camera, with a big light and everything” and an entity is following his girlfriend.  With great performances from an unknown cast and a fantastically creepy and threatening tone, this is not a film to miss.  Seriously though, who sleeps with the door open?  Thanks for listening!

Ryan Walker from Walk The Line Podcast joins Sean to review the all-time Christmas classic Die Hard (1988). Ryan and Sean discuss the poor guy who worked on the floor below floor 30 during filming at Nakatomi Plaza.  Aside highlights include Ryan and Sean discussing the worldwide film market and celebrities putting their foot right in it. Sean warns Ryan never to watch ‘A Good Day To Die Hard’, an...

How often is the fifth film in a franchise the best? Not very often, but Final Destination 5 puts itself forward as a real contender for film of the series.  Ditching the cheese and over-the-top deaths (for the most part) for slow-burn suspense, this film extends the lore of the Final Destination universe without destroying the previous rules. Sean absolutely loved the film, watching it for o...

Despite wanting to slate this film, Sean really enjoyed re-visiting it for the first time since seeing it in 3-D at the cinemas.  Remember the whole 3-D craze?   Thanks for listening! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Sean reviews the weakest Final Destination film up until this point.  Despite the lack of character depth, there are some impressive set-pieces for fans of the series.  Thanks for listening! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Sean continues the Final Destination series with the second film.  He enjoys the action sequences and describes the film as 'a perfect popcorn film'.  Thanks for listening! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Sean reviews an absolute gem of a film!  K-19 tells the story of a Russian Nuclear Submarine crew who race against time to repair their damaged nuclear-reactor.  With stand-out performances from Peter Sarsgaard, Liam Neeson and Harrison Ford, a haunting score from Klaus Badelt and filmed with epic scale by Kathryn Bigelow, this film deserves to be seen.  Thanks for listening! Hosted...

Sean reviews The King's Speech and praises the performances of Colin Firth and Geoffrey Rush, but can't resist attempting upper-class English accents throughout.   Thanks for listening! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Sean reviews the final episode of the series and remains firmly on his soap box.  He tries to give the series a fair appraisal but is frankly honest about it's flaws.  Thanks for listening! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Sean stays firmly on his soap box for the third episode of the series and fumes about a character's nickname.  Thanks for listening! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Time for something a little bit different.  Sean reviews the first episode of Julian Fellowes Titanic television series, first shown back in 2012.   Thanks for listening! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Sean reviews the first instalment of the Final Destination series.  Listen in for awful French accent impressions and a rambling re-tread of the film (don't say I can't sell the podcast!).  Thanks for listening! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Sean enjoys this film far more than he expected.  A witty script and great performances by Matthew McConaughey and Michael Douglas make this film laugh out loud.  Sean doesn't say this of course, he compares the film to a sugary doughnut.  Thanks for listening!  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In one of his shortest ever reviews Sean speeds through a review of the Sandra Bullock film, Premonition.  A film that really does not hold up to much scrutiny.   Thanks for listening! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Sean reviews this Children's Film Foundation adaptation of Michael Morpurgo's book Friend or Foe.  Not available on DVD (as far I can see), this film is only available through the British Film Institute website, so it's a very hidden gem.   Will the film live up to the book?   Thanks for listening! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Well worth a watch this one, if only for Tom Hanks hairdo!  Sean talks through the film scene-by-scene and attempts to keep it entertaining.  Sean also mixes up the format with thank you shout-outs to fellow podcasters for their retweets and adds an outro piece of music.  A Special Mention to Ben from FilmFloggers for his help and guidance.  Thanks for listening! Hosted on Acas...

Sean watches one of Alan Rickman's finest performances as the Sheriff of Nottingham (Did you know his name was George!?).  Sean loves Prince of Thieves but feels very conflicted about the tone of the film, which mixes light-hearted medieval action with some pretty dark scenes.  It's pure 90's adventure rom "which is so damned entertaining, you forget Costner's American accent".  &nb...

Sean reviews Russell Crowe's directorial debut film.  It is a very different World War One story than has been put on screen before, focusing upon one Father searching for his missing sons.   Thanks for listening! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Sean FINALLY watched Star Wars!  Will the film live up to the hype?   Listen in to find out.  Thanks for listening! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

For a bit of a change, Sean reviews a Titanic-based film, A Night To Remember (1958).  He goes through the film, pretty much every scene, and drops more Titanic trivia.   Listen for news about upcoming reviews (including a first ever viewing of Star Wars) and a first ever guest on Review It Yourself.  Thanks for listening! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more informa...

Sean reviews the low-budget, independent film Ripper Untold.  After spending over two minutes trying to remember a single word and more time distracted by his precariously positioned television, he gets back to taking the listener through the film scene-by-scene.  Has Sean chosen another stinker or has he found a hidden gem?  Thanks for listening! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/priv...

Whilst reviewing the plot, Sean tries not to lose it.  Stick around for terrible attempts at impressions of both the BBC Home Service and a Cockney accent worthy of Mary Poppins...it's not good.  Thanks for listening! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Starring an actress who looks ridiculously like Matilda, The Nest is a film about a family who are infecting by insects which come out of a teddy bear.  Competently shot, acted and with some brief but great practical effects, this film just falls short for Sean who was looking for a hidden gem or the next cult classic.
