Orson Welles (Tom Burke) in black jacket and wide brimmed hat

A One Mann’s Movies review of Mank – a delicious slice of vintage 40’s Hollywood recreated around the writing of Citizen Kane. It’s a cerebral triumph from David Fincher and glorious to look at. Recommended. 4.5/5.

Honest Thief (15): proof that unpredictability is highly overrated.

One Mann’s Movies Film Review of “Honest Thief”: Neeson back on very familiar territory, but I found it an entertaining piece of thriller hocum. Park brain at door and enjoy. 3/5.

Matheson Lang portrait

A One Mann’s Movies special. On Bonfire Night, a fun look at the use of gunpowder at the movies on film. With a surprising gunpowder plot fact!

Pixie (15): Once Upon a Time in the West… of Ireland.

One Mann’s Movies review of “Pixie”: a Sligo-based spaghetti western with Alec Baldwin as a “deadly gangster priest”. What’s not to love!? 4/5.
