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
Sonic the Hedgehog 2020 Whilst not quite killing the video game movie curse, Sonic is a perfectly serviceable family adventure. Apart from every scene with Jim Carey's Robotnik. They 90s Carey to the max and are pretty awful. 6
Chaos 2005 Statham & Philllipe's odd couple cops versus Snipes' robber in an average thriller that plays off a big reveal that really isn't that interesting. 5
Doolittle 2020 Despite the poor critical response and RDJ's Welsh accent, the screening I saw was sold out and it seemed everyone in there enjoyed it, including me. Apart from the really cheap toilet humour it was everything I would want from a family adventure movie. 6
Menace II Society 1993 Another tragic tale of life in the hood, but this one manages to tell the story without glamourising the players. Believable characters and a typically high quality soundtrack. 7
Jumanji: The Next Level 2019 By throwing too much at this sequel Kasdan has created a disjointed but generally amusing film that pales in comparison to its predecessor. A character less and a round of body swaps less and this could have been another gem.. 6
The Hunt 2020 Betty Gilpin is great as the ass-kicking hero defending herself from liberal elite and their new sport of ‘deplorable hunting’. Not everything in the film works, but it is a lot of fun and features a superbly brutal final fight. 7
Birds of Prey: And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn 2020 The DCEU hits a new low as Harley Quinn proves worse than Suicide Squad in all meaningful areas. Another plotless wasted opportunity. 4
In the Shadow of the Moon 2020 Shockingly bad acting drag an already bad film into disaster territory. An extremely predictable time/crime detective story that tires very quickly. 4
The Invisible Man 2020 Despite being a mildly interesting take on the old tale, I have doubts about the bare bones plot, Elisabeth Moss' ability to lead a film and the heavy handed score. 5
The Call of the Wild 2020 One of many adaptations of Jack London's short story, this Disney-esque shaggy dog adventure in the Yukon is a lot of fun if you can ignore the awful animal CGI that would be better suited to a Scooby Doo comedy film. 7
Pump Up The Volume 1990 I fear I have watched this teen angst drama about a young pirate shock-jock 20 years too late to understand the sentiment and have come to the conclusion either the film, or I, have aged badly. 5
The Platform 2019 This Spanish horror has inmates in a huge underground tower sharing the finest food and wine. But how much is left for each floor is decided by those in the floor above. Tight, tense and far more intellectual than most of of its peers. 8
Times Square 1980 When a slacker and a repressed rich girl meet in the hospital they team up to force New York to hear their story. A punk coming of age tale with a kick ass soundtrack. 7
Tangled: Before Ever After 2017 The low budget sequel conveniently bring back Rapunzel's hair and the original voice cast in a fun but forgettable follow up. But as a segway into the fun Tangled animated TV series it does exactly what is needed. 5
Krush Groove 1985 A loosely semi-autobiographical tale of Russell Simmons and the early days of Def Jam, the film has some great musical talent providing a sweet hip-hop soundtrack, but also proving that acting is not the same as performing. 5
Do The Right Thing 1989 The rising temperatures on the hottest day also raises racial tensions as the film descends from feel-good comedy to a tragic and brutal crescendo. A Spike Lee masterpiece. 9
Speed of Life 2019 The basis of a good relationship drama as a man disappears on the day of David Bowie's death, only to return 24 years later without aging a day. But the SciFi is flimsy and pay off not worth the wait. 5
Last Christmas 2019 Despite it's tough facade, it is still the horribly saccharine and twee rom-com that you fear it will be. But it is definitely not terrible and has some great George Michael music throughout. 5
Mrs. Lowry & Son 2019 Vanessa Redgrave and Timothy Spall give outstanding performances in a wonderfully understated portrayal of a very ordinary man who would later become one of Britain's greatest painters. 8
Peter Rabbit 2018 A surprisingly funny and exciting family film with just enough mischief and mayhem to please adults and kids. The excellent rabbit CGI is worth a mention too. 7
About Time 2013 Despite being just another Richard Curtis middle class rom-com, About Time throws in a mild time travel twist and likeable characters to stand above much of his 2000s outout. 7
Made in Dagenham 2010 For such a huge achievement, the successful strike action by the Ford Motor Company machinists in Dagenham and the subsequent equal pay bill that it was responsible for, this is quite a lacklustre film. 5
Dolemite Is My Name 2019 A superb biopic of Blacksploitation pioneer Rudy Ray Moore and his rise to stardom. Funny, filthy and foul-mouthed. Just like Rudy! 8
Bad Boys For Life 2020 Despite Smith's charisma and his chemistry with Lawrence, the film has the kind of plot that should be free with a box of cornflakes, lame jokes and obvious set pieces. Sets up for a sequel that I hope doesn't come. 4
Trolls World Tour 2020 Footloose with plastic toys. Despite the convoluted adult plot, Trolls World Tour is a grand spectacle that unfortunately misses the sweet spot for kids and is a little bit too glee for adults. 6
