Read MoreLFF 2020 Review: David Byrne’s American Utopia – “The performances spark feelings of universal euphoria”
Three decades on from Jonathan Demme’s Talking Heads concert film Stop Making Sense – Spike Lee captures every beat of the joy, resistance, and international collaboration at the heart of David Byrne’s American Utopia. It’s a show that toured across the US and UK in 2018 – and as someone lucky enough to see it in London, that same spark of excitement is very much alive in this film, shot at an...

Read MoreMick Garris talks Sleepwalkers, Stephen King and interviewing Jimi Hendrix
Mick Garris is a director, screenwriter, producer, showrunner, novelist, occasional actor, and horror-documentary talking head—and he was even was the lead singer in a real rarity, a “prog-rock band with a sense of humor” called Horse Feathers (after the Marx Bros. movie) back in the ‘70s. Garris is most widely known for his string of Stephen King adaptations, including Sleepwalkers, The Stand and the...

Read MoreReview: Possessor – “A glorious atrocity”
Brandon Cronenberg’s Possessor has been right at the top of my “2020 must-sees”, for what seems like an age. Right above Palm Springs and The Wolf Of Snow Hollow in this never-ending year. It’s fully deserving of its place. I have to say, I didn’t expect to watch it in my lounge, bathed in red ambient lighting. And I certainly didn’t think it would be via the BFI player, as part of LFF. Who would’ve...

Read MoreBlu-ray Review – Batman: Death In The Family
A Death in Family from the late ’80s was a Batman storyline that saw Robin (the Jason Todd version) captured and killed by the Joker. What made it a little different was that the comic book readers were given a number to call in to and pick whether they wanted Jason Todd to live and die. Well, this new Blu-ray from DC/Warner Bros takes that storyline and concept and gives us a choose your own adventure...

Read MoreLFF 2020 Review: Nomadland – “An awe-inspiring showcase of the American spirit”
Seconds before Nomadland began, I closed down an article I had been reading about a celebrity who had bought a house for $27million, remodelled it and then sold it for $31million. With those alien numbers clouding my thoughts, I focused on Frances McDormand’s face as her character leaves her only home – a small van – to trudge along a cold path, figure becoming a dark pinprick, enveloped...
