Read MoreReview: Spencer – “The monarchy film we never knew we needed.”
A little while back news seeped out on the film wires that a new movie about Diana, Princess of Wales, was on the cards, with the title role played by American Kristen Stewart (Twilight, Personal Shopper). Like me, you may have rolled your eyes – here we go, another cash stab at ‘royal realism’, falling somewhere in-between the carriage wheels of Downton Abbey and The Crown, but shifting millions...

Read MoreBlu-ray Review: Swallow – “A stunning and remarkable drama”
Written and directed by Carlo Mirabella-Davis (Knife Point), Swallow stars Haley Bennett (The Girl on the Train), Austin Stowell (Whiplash), Denis O’Hare (Dallas Buyers Club) and Laith Nakli (12 Strong). Not getting a UK theatrical release thanks to the pandemic, Swallow was just released on Blu-ray on the 22nd of November by Second Sight Films. Hunter (Bennett) appears to have everything. A gorgeous new...

Read MoreReview – Ghostbusters: Afterlife – “A fun filled, spooky sequel”
Ghostbusters: Afterlife is the third film in the series, following the 1984 original and the 1989 sequel. As we all know, the 2016 film was not a sequel and ignored the events of the original two films to reboot the franchise, but it did not find the audience so that was shelved. I still feel it was actually more a reboot of the Ghostbusters cartoon. Then along came Jason Reitman, son of Ivan Reitman (who...

Read MoreReview: King Richard is “crowd-pleasing, uplifting and not your standard biopic”
“Who is the power behind the throne?” is a question that assumes as much as it asks. Usually applied to dynasties, cementing the condescending idea that the people want a crowd-facing figurehead, the real ruling carried out by shadowy figures behind the curtain. Think The Wizard of Oz to Wolf Hall and more recently, Vice. So calling a biopic – about the rise of the Williams sisters to...

Read MoreReview: tick, tick…BOOM! – “One of the best performances of Andrew Garfield’s career”
On January 25, 1996 at the age of 35, Jonathan Larson passed away suddenly from an aortic aneurysm. The next night, his hit musical Rent premiered on Broadway. The show must go on, as is tradition, even if in this case it was also heartbreaking. Larson never got to see his show play on the stage he so admired, so coveted, so wished to revolutionize. Yet, Rent kept on playing, for twelve years on...

Read MoreBlu-ray Review: Prisoners of the Ghostland – “A Schrödinger’s cat of a Nicolas Cage film”
Another day, another Nicolas Cage film. Will it be good? Will it be bad? That’s the thing about Cage’s recent film catalogue, you never quite know what you are going to get. Pair him up with filmmaker Sion Sono (who is making his first English language movie) and you get something like Prisoners of the Ghostland – “A high-octane, post-apocalyptic tale of redemption and...
