Weird Science is one of my all-time favourite ’80s comedies, and one of many times when the late-great writer/direcor John Hughes hit all the right notes, even though I didn’t realised until now that this was based on a comic book (like every other film made today!), most likely because the comic book’s writers were […]

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.

Glen McMahon, a successful, charismatic four-star general who leapt in like a rock star to command NATO forces in Afghanistan, only to be taken down by […]
Live By Night is one of those films written, directed by and starring one main person, this one being… Ben Affleck, whose recent box-office success hasn’t been brilliant in my eyes. I’ve yet to see Gone Girl, but Argo was the last film I enjoyed with him in it, and he also directed it so […]
Foxcatcher begins with Mark Schultz (Channing Tatum, who usually restricts himself to goofball comedies), a socially-awkward character, telling a group of schoolchildren about how he takes part in wrestling because it enabled him to win the gold medal in the Los Angeles 1984 Olympics. The year, now, is 1987 and he’s looking towards the 1988 […]
