Niki Taylor


Charley Varrick (1973)


Charley Varrick and his friends rob a small town bank expecting a small sum to divide amongst themselves, but the loot is a fortune.

Classic tough Don Siegel thriller with a superb Walter Matthau.

Always worth watching.

Hopscotch (1980)


A CIA agent tired of his incompetent colleagues retires and dares them to stop him from publishing an embarrassing book of memoirs.

Entertaining, but quite harmless spy comedy.

Hannah Davis


Hugo (2011)



Set in 1930s Paris, an orphan who lives in the walls of a train station is wrapped up in a mystery involving his late father and an automaton.

Fantastic homage to the art of traditional cinema ironically using lots of digital trickery.
