Title: Se7en Released: 1995 My Rating: 9 /10 Se7en was an intense, gory thrill all the way through, always keeping me intrigued and thinking as the plot twisted. Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman unite to solve what started as a one off death and evolved into an elaborate psychotic series of murders with a biblical message. One of the things I loved most about this film were the references to classic literature pieces, such as Milton's Paradise Lost or Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice. It just added to the intelligence and madness of Kevin Spacey's fantastic performance as the creepy John Doe. I also felt great pride when I knew the quotes and the literature it was from. Very exciting and quite tense in places. An extremely clever film that will keep you guessing right until the shocking and dark ending. A great film all round. But perfect for those with a passion for the darker side of religion and smart psychological crime thrillers.

Title: Logan Released: 2017 My Rating: 9 /10 It's Hugh Jackman's final performance as the Wolverine, so you know it's going to go out with a bang. Dark, gritty and highly emotional, this instalment lived up to the reviews as "the best Wolverine yet." A tired and older looking Logan and Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart) care for each other, living with the absence of the X-men and other mutants. They want to escape and live a quieter, freer life else where, but their plans change when a young mutant (Dafne Keen) similar to Logan is thrust into their care and they must defend themselves against the evil forces after them. Excellent acting all round, of course, but particularly from a fairly new Dafne Keen, who was able to perfectly play both an adorable, frightened young girl and a wild, vicious animal. Amazing scenes ranging from deep and heartfelt to fantastically choreographed fight scenes. As the first X-men/Wolverine film rated 15, there was more blood...
