Read MoreReview: Blue Heron – “the distinct voice of a filmmaker making art as a form of healing.”
Just like when trying to recollect a dream, remembering our childhood is an arduous task that mostly results in disappointment, as we become unreliable narrators. Back then, our perception of reality was skewed by our lack of understanding, especially whilst witnessing family tensions or experiencing trauma, which would lead to those events not being properly processed and coming back to haunt us in our...

Read MoreReview: Supergirl – “a sombre, but beguiling hero’s journey.”
Supergirl stars Milly Alcock as the titular superhero-in-the-making, following on from her brief introduction in last year’s Superman and takes place soon after that film. Supergirl/Kara struggles with survivor’s guilt and deals with her problems through alcohol-fuelled partying until a little girl (Eve Ridley as Ruthye) asks for her help. The interplanetary adventure pulls you along for a...

After the record-breaking global success of Spider-Man: No Way Home, Spider-Man: Brand New Day marks an entirely new chapter for Peter Parker and Spider-Man.

Read MoreReview: Power Ballad – “A satisfying watch”
If you do something well, there’s no need to stop doing it. Steven Spielberg is still exploring aliens. Wes Anderson and Robert Eggers have instantly recognizable styles. Greta Gerwig champions her female characters. John Carney creates movies driven by music, a central feature in his films. Starting with the impeccable Once in 2006, Carney has made stories that stir the soul and recognize the...

Read MoreReview: Exit 8 – “Wonderfully disturbing and creepy in places.”
Directed by Genki Kawamura Starring Kazunari Ninomiya, Yamato Kochi, Naru Asanuma, Kotone Hanase I’ve been looking forward to seeing Exit 8, having been unable to make it to the cinema release, and having heard a lot of good things about this – gasp! A good video game to film adaptation! I was not disappointed. As with the Kotake Create game, the bulk of the movie is confined to one location,...

Read MoreReview: Masters of the Universe is actually about ‘HR Man’
That’s not a typo – this is a review of a film about He-Man, HR adviser! When asked to describe the world of He-Man, the more said, the more farcical it sounds. A silly blond prince, Adam Glenn, with a fabulous haircut in the fictional land of Eternia conceals his secret identity as He-Man, an oiled and bronzed hero in a loincloth who draws power from a magical sword. He-Man rides a talking...

Read MoreReview: The Cars That Ate Paris – “Some films just have a certain vibe that is hard to explain easily, you just feel it”
Directed by Peter Weir Starring John Meillon, Terry Camilleri, Kevin Miles, Rick Scully, Bruce Spence, Melissa Jaffer, Kevin Miles I first saw The Cars That Ate Paris way back in the 80s, on home video – it was one of those cult movies you just heard about (prior to the internet and the ability to look anything up instantly), and I have vague memories of it, mostly dominated by the now-iconic images of...
