Finisterre (2003) - Presented and scored by Saint Etienne, the film takes us on a journey from the suburbs of London into the heart of the city over an imaginary 24 hours. Through the interviews and imagery we see the city from an insider's perspective. The result is a hymn to London, and an extraordinary record of the city today.

Very pleasant and personal documentary about London. 7/10

Predestination - I have no idea what to rate this but I do recommend it highly, but fair warning, it has really weird and thought provoking twists.

What Have You Done Today Mervyn Day? (2005) - Shot during the summer of 2005, this enigmatic film was the second collaboration between Saint Etienne and director Paul Kelly. It follows a young paperboy's adventure across London's last remaining wilderness in the Lea Valley on the eve of the Olympic development. A poetic ode to a metropolitan hinterland that has been forever changed by the impact of the 2012 Olympics games.

I love the way this was filmed. Nearly every frame shown of the local area is a work of art. 8/10

Phantasm - 7.5/10

One of my favorite horror films from the 70's finally hits BD, fully remastered and it's never looked or sounded better. Some of the acting is a bit cheesy and elements are dated due to it's low budget but it's the atmosphere of Phantasm that makes it great. Both the original score and The Tall Man are icons of the genre.

I love the first Phantasm. I love that cover art too, but it was remastered in 4K, so you know an actual 4K release will come. Trying to hold out.

Fantastic Beasts and where to find them-6/10

it was uninteresting. Best way to describe it. And seeing "that dude " at the end slightly made it worse for me for some reason lol.

Eddie Redmayne is a really good actor though.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

This is Tomorrow (2008) - The third film of 'A London Trilogy, the films of Saint Etienne' is about the history and reconstruction of the Royal Festival Hall, interviewing surviving architects and designers including Leonard Manasseh and Robin Day. The film also documented the hall's complete refurbishment from 2005-2007, which has once again made it London's cultural centre.

Not as visually appealing as the first two London Trilogy documentaries (picturesque images of suburban London look much nicer than renovation footage), but still well told with an irresistible soundtrack by Saint Etienne. 7/10
