MovieMuse
Gordon ‘SirClive’ Sinclair is the founder of MovieMuse. A child of the 70s with his heart in the eighties, his dream is to one day wake up like Alex Drake and relive that glorious decade.
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.

Gordon’s Reviews
| Poster | Movie | Year | Comments | Rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 |
D-Tox | 2000 | Agatha Christie-esque thriller with some pretty poor acting, but the thrills are worth it. | 7 |
 |
DOA: Dead or Alive | 2006 | Excellently realises the game world and uses amazing scenery and fight sequences to keep you there. One of the few video game movies worth your time. | 7 |
 |
Dads Army | 2016 | Pointless remake with a flimsy script and very few laughs.The best bit is the outtakes during the credits. | 4 |
 |
David Brent: Life on the Road | 2016 | All the worst bits of the office stretched into a movie. Comedy has moved on and it is time that David Brent cleared his desk. | 3 |
 |
Dear White People | 2014 | Funny, witty and midly thought provoking, it is a film that ultimately isn't as daring or revolutionary as it wants to be. | 6 |
 |
Deepwater Horizon | 2016 | Click to see our detailed review. | 8 |
 |
Demolition | 2015 | It was hard work to get into the film about dealing with grief (or not), but by halfway I was sold by the interesting characters. | 7 |
 |
Doctor Strange | 2016 | A perfectly functional blend of Batman Begins, The Matrix and Ghostbusters 2. | 7 |
 |
Dog Eat Dog | 2016 | Tries so hard to be edgy that it comes off as desperate. Dafoe is superb though. | 4 |
 |
Don't Breathe | 2016 | It's relentless thrill and threat seems to be coming to a conclusion at the halfway point but then doesn't let up for another 40 minutes. | 8 |
 |
Doom | 2005 | A poor mans Aliens that brings nothing new and none of the spirit from the game. | 5 |
 |
Double Dragon | 1994 | Awful story bearing little resemblance to the games (which is a pity as the story to the first game is pretty good). The fight choreography is pretty laughable for the most part, which is a killer for a martial arts movie. | 4 |
 |
Down Terrace | 2009 | A family relatonship drama with a difference, told through great character development and minimal plot. | 7 |
 |
Dr. No | 1962 | By today's standards the effects and sets are awful. But for a 50 year old film they present a great insight into how people in the 60s imagined the future. | 6 |
 |
Drinking Buddies | 2013 | A pleasantly told story of likeable characters with likeable traits. | 7 |
 |
Eddie the Eagle | 2016 | Click to see our detailed review. | 8 |
 |
Eden | 2015 | Woeful acting gives way to a predictable but enjoyable Lord of the Flies adventure. | 6 |
 |
Edge of Tommorow | 2014 | Some stupidly large plot holes and a terrible end, but otherwise it is a lot of fun watching Tom Cruise die over and over again. | 7 |
 |
Elle | 2016 | Despite how messed up and destructive her life gets, everything that Elle does is believable and almost understandable. | 8 |
 |
Equity | 2016 | An interesting corporate drama in places and no better than a Hallmark special in others. | 5 |
 |
Everybody Wants Some | 2016 | Funny and well staged but ultimately pointless view into the world of jocks being jocks. | 8 |
 |
Evidence of Blood | 1998 | Decent TV movie that would be better without the unnecessary last 30 minutes of melodrama. | 5 |
 |
Exam | 2009 | An interesting concept that for the most part work well, but are spoiled a little by a silly end. | 6 |
 |
Exposed | 2016 | Dreadfully slow supernatural thriller that leaves no satisfaction when it is over. A poor man's M Night Shyamalam. | 5 |
 |
Eye in the Sky | 2016 | It is inconceivable that things would go down the way the film presents, but as entertaining theatre it is a thrilling adventure with many moral questions. | 7 |
