Godzilla: King Of The Monsters is the belated follow-up to the 2014 Godzilla reboot, and I figure if you’re going to have an action film, you want it wall-to-wall action, rather like the recent Terminator: Dark Fate. However, the 2014 movie fell way short of that as the big man didn’t show up for the […]

Satanic Panic is a new schlock-horror movie which sees pizza delivery girl Sam Craft (Hayley Griffith, above) getting the worst delivery job ever as her trip ends in a posh mansion where a special evening is going on, and they need a virgin in order to give birth to the child of Satan… or something […]

Eighth Grade is a film that looked superb from the trailer, but was one of those indie films that I knew would get short shrift from the multiplexes, so watching it on Blu-ray would be the answer when the release came round. The review disc arrived, but… had the release date slipped? Well, a bit […]

X-Men: Dark Phoenix brings the X-Men saga to a conclusion after 19 years and 12 movies under the 20th Century Fox banner, as it gets absorbed into the Marvel canon behemoth, as has also happened to the Fantastic Four and Spider-Man… well, Spidey seems to be in AND out, since he appeared to have gone […]

Double Date is a British horror comedy which came out for a limited cinema run in October 2017, but I’m so glad that it’s finally got a Blu-ray and DVD release for reasons I shall explain below. It centres around two women on dates with a difference – they’re homicidal murderers. Yes, if you’ve ever […]

Long Shot looks like the kind of comedy I’ve seen a zillion times, but I’d heard good things about it, even though 125 minutes does seem way too long for comedy. About 100 minutes should be the max. In this, Seth Rogen (50/50) plays himself, but here, as Fred Flarsky, a journalist who’s about to […]

Amazing Grace is not the Aretha Franklin documentary I was expecting, but with this concert film being released in the year after her untimely death, we instead get a concert featuring the lady, plus drummer Bernard Purdie, guitarist Cornell Dupree, Bassist Chuck Rainey and record producers Jerry Wexler and Arif Mardin. Director Sydney Pollack filmed […]

Under The Silver Lake surprised me right off the bat with some sharp direction with the camera moving about in directions I wasn’t expecting, and some sounds from the thunderous opening score of the 1991 Cape Fear remake, such that it feels like. So, we’re not in for a straight forward ride, here. In fact, […]

Flight Of The Navigator shows that only an ’80s movie can begin with a series of dogs catching frisbees in their mouths. And for an ’80s movie, it’s somehow set in 1978, at the South Florida Frisbee Dog Championship, on Independence Day. Yes, all the soldiers died in wars over the years so that your […]

The White Crow, we’re told at the start, defines the title as an idiom used to describe a person who is unusual, extraordinary, not like others, and an outsider… and Rudolf Nureyev (newcomer Oleg Ivenko) definitely wants to get outside as his ultimate intention is defect from Russia to France. Although he has talent, he […]
