A long time classic video gamer, Gordon founded Replay Events, a company dedicated to showcasing the best retro consoles and computers of the last 40 years.

With his unhealthy love of Stallone movies and an obsessive need to watch every film ever nominated for a major award, he is aways ready with an (un?)educated opinion.

Away from MovieMuse Gordon is an avid follower of Liverpool and Huddersfield Town football clubs and lives in Halifax with his Star Wars loving fiancée Nancy.

Gordon is responsible for the MovieMuse website and co-edits the MovieMuse podcast.

PosterMovieYearCommentsRating
Hellboy 2019 Another completely pointless reboot. Apart from the terrible script, awful acting, very poor CGI, swearing overlaid for effect, unfunny jokes and unlikeable characters - it was average. 5
Escape Plan 3: The Extractors 2019 With each sequel Stallone is on screen less and the boredom gets more in another franchise of diminishing returns. Average in every way. Not a waste of my time, but not a good use either. 5
Fractured 2019 A slightly overhyped Mystery that fits into the growing genre of 'Not Quite Shyamalam'. I called the ending very early in the film (like as soon as the incident happened) and found it all a bit too obvious. 7
Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol 2011 As ridiculous a plot as any other M:I film, but the action sequences, tension and fantastical technology make it a highlight for the series. 8
Mission: Impossible: Rogue Nation 2015 Doesn't quite reach the heights of Ghost Protocol, but Ethan and his IMF team still provide thrills and spills as they hunt The Syndicate. 7
Mission: Impossible 1996 It is easy to see why this was such a hit in '96, but 20+ years on the acting, action sequences and CGI leave a huge amount to be desired! 6
Stick Man 2015 A magically heart warming tale of a humble stick's journey home. Stunningly animated and heart breaking in places, but ultimately uplifting and joyful. Beautiful. 9
The Gruffalo 2009 The classic kid's book is lovingly animated and brought to stunning life by great voice performances. A fitting tribute to Julia Donaldson's source material. 8
The Gruffalo's Child 2011 With the same beautiful animation and voice work, the story unfortunately falls a little short of the original Gruffalo. Still a charming family adventure. 7
The Tiger Who Came To Tea 2019 Another children's classic brought to life with such charming style that you will smile throughout. Children the world over will now be wishing for the Tiger to come to their house! 8
The Art of Self Defence 2019 This black comedy about underdogs fighting back never hits the heights that it teases, but its bleak and sometimes funny story is an interesting look at toxic masculinity. 6
Good Boys 2019 Billed as Superbad for the pre-teen generation it is not as gross or offensive as the trailer would have you believe. A fun, throwaway, coming of age comedy. 6
Avengers: Endgame 2019 As an end to a (seemingly) never ending story, the film gets a lot right, but the mechanics of reversing the previous film are all too obvious. 6
Spider-Man: Far From Home 2019 With FFH Marvel have entered the pre-teen market. The plot, jokes and performances all appear a little to juvenile for someone of my years, but it is still better than any Andrew Garfield Spidey film. 6
Sleeping Beauty 1959 Over 60 years old and still beautiful to watch. Some catchy songs and fabulous villain will keep this a favourite for years to come. 7
Brave 2012 Medievel Scotland is an unusual place for Disney to take us, but Merida is a funny, feisty, feminist in a story that is genuinly entertaining. 8
Tangled 2010 Tangled started the resurgence of the Disney princess and this reworked Rapunzel is a real gem. Mostly due to its great cast including a wonderful turn by Donna Murphy as the witch Gothel. 8
Frozen 2013 Another tale of girl power where the female lead doesn't need a prince to save her. A modern classic that is so much better now the hype around the songs has died down. 8
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs 1937 Musical tastes were very different in the 1930s and that unfortunately makes it hard to watch Snow White for anything more than the Dwarves and the Hi Ho song. 5
The Princess and the Frog 2009 Tiana is a fine addition to the princess fold in a tale of following your dream and being true to your word. 1920s New Orleans is a great setting and the songs and characters stand up strong against most other Disney efforts. 7
Moana 2016 Despite some disappointingly western pop songs, the film is well cast and pays respect to the Polynesian setting. With plenty of laughs and adventure Moana is the best of the 'ethnic' Princess movies. 7
Beauty and the Beast 1991 After 2 failed attempts Disney got 3rd time lucky with this fantastic animated musical that pairs tradional looking 2D animation with full on 3D CG work culminating in the infamous ballroom scene. 8
Cinderella 1950 One of the best classic Disney Princess films. The stepmother may be a little sinister for some, but it is a well told, well known fairytale that will appeal to children of all ages.. 7
Aladdin 1992 A dark tale that will probably not hold up to well with modern kids beyond Robin Williams' wacky performance as the genie. 6
Gemini Man 2019 When a jaded black ops Will Smith wants to retire, the government send a weaponised Fresh Prince to hunt him down. A gratuitously average film that fails to shine via effects, CGI, acting, script and score. 5
