Sixteen Candles is one of those John Hughes ’80s comedies I saw at the time, but haven’t seen in a long time, and I never knew there was an extended version before this disc was announced for release. It’s Samantha’s (Molly Ringwald) 16th birthday, and everyone’s forgotten. Or have they? Maybe. Either way, it’s also […]

Border stars Eva Melander as Tina, a border customs officer, similar to those I’ve been watching a lot of on Pick TV’s Stop Search Seize where, if you try and get one over Bruce Heller as you walk through the airport, he’ll snap your neck with a mere look! Well, perhaps NOT as similar, since […]

The Dead Don’t Die is a zombie horror comedy from Jim Jarmusch looked amazing from the trailer… The premise is that time’s not behaving. It’s the summer and it’s not getting dark when it should. Whatever’s going on is causing the earth’s rotation to change… and that means zombies! Dom RobinsonReviewer of movies, videogames and […]

Spider-Man: Far From Home: It seems poor old Peter Parker (Tom Holland) can’t even go on a trip around picturesque Europe with his school friends and put his cunning plan into place to win over the slightly dark and twisted MJ (Zendaya) without being called into action as Spider-Man.
Escape Plan 3 comes fairly hot on the heels of Escape Plan 2: Hades, as that came out around this time last year. However, that film was my worst movie of 2018. So why am I watching No.3? Because it’s the conclusion to a trilogy. And I’ll suffer so you don’t have to… unless it’s […]

FM feels like the kind of movie where, if it was being made today, there’d be enough scope to turn it into a full series on Netflix. Another radio station is trying to bribe their way in to this one – QSky Radio, so they can fill it with over-commercialisation, but it would compromise the […]

Fighting With My Family didn’t look like it was going to win me over from the trailer, but I like to check out as many films as I can, so did it flex its muscle in the ring? (Oo-er, missus!) It tells the true story of a wrestling family as they vent their spleens in […]

Kurier – aka The Messenger, in some territories – centres around Jan Nowak-Jezioranski (Philippe Tlokinski), a real-life hero who took messages between Poland and London, and then wanted to get back to Warsaw, but found travel going that way almost impossible to come by, in terms of plane travel. Hence, only sailing appears to be […]

Jellyfish stars relative newcomer Liv Hill (Three Girls) as Sarah, a schoolgirl whose occasional quips could blossom into a promising stand-up comedy career, and that’s aside from her other little sideline while she’s being a cleaner at the local arcade. I can’t go into details here, but when money’s too tight to mention, desperate times […]
The Captor was originally called Stockholm, in a film based on a bizarre, but true, bank heist in 1973 which turned into a hostage crisis and spawned the term “Stockholm Syndrome”, as the captor bonds with the person initiating the heist.
