Holmes And Watson: When I first saw the trailer for this, it looked pretty terrible. I’m not a Will Ferrell-does-comedy fan which doesn’t help, but John C Reilly is usually worth a watch. However, as well as the pre-opening credits scene being pretty good (which could be because Ferrell isn’t in it, as it shows […]

Cujo… There, there, nice doggie! Yes, just watch this movie about the St Bernard who contracts rabies, and you’ll never see those Beethoven films in the same light ever again, as the Stephen King classic comes to Blu-ray in a Special Edition containing more than seven hours of extras, which is almost enough time for […]

Black Moon Rising has it all – Tommy Lee Jones, Linda Hamilton (with a perm), Robert Vaughn, Officer Hightower from the Police Academy movies (aka Bubba Smith), a story from John Carpenter (who co-wrote the screenplay) and a score by Mission Impossible‘s Lalo Schifrin. Tommy Lee Jones still looks cool AF, while security guards use […]

Lizzie… Lizzie Borden. The woman who bludgeoned her parents to death with an axe. She makes some of the women I’ve met through online dating seem positively sane. The film begins on August 4th, 1892, the day of the attack, and the bodies are discovered by housekeeper Bridget Sullivan (Kristen Stewart), but Lizzie (Chloë Sevigny) […]
Terra-Formars poses the situation that to deal with Earth’s overpopulation, there’s a plan to colonise Mars by releasing CO2 trapped underground, so it releases into the atmosphere and makes it a bit warmer than the -50 C it is normally. No doubt that’ll set the ‘man-made global warming’ loonies off into orbit. Of course, each […]

The Girl In The Spider’s Web comes from the same director as the Evil Dead 2013 reboot, Fede Alvarez, and while it wasn’t a great film by any stretch of the imagination, it did have an incredible visual style. It comes from a new series of books by David Lagercrantz (and were this to be […]

The Unholy is part of the Vestron Collector’s Series which came out in late February, and I’m late reviewing this, but I did end up watching it on March 20th, and at one point in the film, two characters are studying a mysterious entry in a diary, written on… March 20th! Ooooh – spooky! The […]

Slaughterhouse Rulez comes across as being set at an old-time grammar boarding school, seemingly as anarchic as a St Trinians movie, but with the inference that not all of the pupils – at this mixed school – make it out alive. Don (Finn Cole, above-right) is starting his first term, there, and has the hots […]
