four lions (2010)

"Aye up you unbelievin' Kuffar bastards!"
Omar (Riz Ahmed) is a young idealistic Muslim, who dreams of joining the global jihad. Alongside a motley crew of likeminded lads he sets out to realise his dream, a journey that will take him from Sheffield to Afghanistan and back again.
Morris, famous for his undercover black humour, turns his attention to a subject of Muslim extremism, producing a film that is both funny, and thought provoking at the same time. A black satire that makes you sympathise with suicide bombers!

the last man on planet earth (1999)

"The carpet's Persian handsome, I would like to avoid bloodstains."
Made for TV film, that like most TV films lacks rather a lot. Following a war with Afghanistan, 97% of men are killed by a virus and with the world taken over by women, the 3% of men left are outlawed. Twenty years later, a scientist (Julie Bowen) clones a man (Paul Francis) without the capacity to violence, but when he's discovered, he ends up on the run with the male underground.

submarine (2010)

"My mother is worried I have mental problems."
The bitter sweet coming of age story about Oliver Tate (Craig Roberts), who is fixated on Jordana (Yasmin Paige), and sets about getting her as his girlfriend. Meanwhile he also has to contend with his parents potential break-up, as he tries to prevent his mother (Sally Hawkins) from running off with old boyfriend Graham (Paddy Considine).
A fine, visually stimulating debut, but one that is dragged down by a melancholy that pervades the script, so that ultimately we have a good film, rather than a great one.

in a lonely place (1950)

"There's no sacrifice too great for a chance at immortality."
A well thought of, but violent screenwriter Dixon Steele (Humphrey Bogart) becomes a murder suspect, but is cleared by one of his neighbours, Lauren (Gloria Grahame). They soon start dating, but the lead detective has his doubts about Dixon and presses Lauren about him, making her have doubts. Could he really be the murderer after all?
A wonderfully played out fiction, that grips you right to the last frame.
