In Darkness centres around blind musician Sofia (Natalie Dormer), who hears a murder committed in the apartment upstairs from her’s, which sends her down a dark path into London’s gritty criminal underworld. It looks like one of those thrillers which puts style over substance, but then again, it’s like a film where everyone taking part […]

Stormy Monday Special Edition on Blu-ray and DVD combo – The DVDfever Review
Posted by Dom Robinson on July 10th, 2017
Stormy Monday takes place during America Week in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, so events will be carried out over more than the one day that the name might imply. (Yes, it’s title of the 1948 song from T-Bone Walker, which appears in this film courtesy of the late BB King, but allow me that intro) As is admitted […]

Posted by Dom Robinson on June 1st, 2017
Wonder Woman, in her Gal Gadot incarnation, first came to our cinema screens in Spring 2016 as the ‘guest star’ of the mediocre Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. In DC Comics, it was followed by Suicide Squad last August – a film I enjoyed, but it didn’t go down too well with a lot […]

Posted by Dom Robinson on February 19th, 2017
SS-GB is set in an alternate past, beginning in November 1941, fourteen months after the Germans won the Battle of Britain… yes, you read that right. Due to extreme austerity, it’s not only a time for sharing bathwater, but also sharing other things, since we first see Detective Douglas Archer (Sam Riley) sleeping with his […]

Posted by Dom Robinson on February 1st, 2017
Choose T2 Trainspotting. Choose following up the original film 20 years later with a film that’s a mixture of Irvine Welsh‘s sequel novel, Porno, and a new story, and realising that T2 Trainspotting is a much better title to beam out of the cinema box office laser display screen than that of the original book.

Posted by Dom Robinson on September 7th, 2016
Ben-Hur 2016 begins with some mad, macho-style posturing, as it fast-forwards to the eventual chariot race when brothers Judah Ben-Hur (Jack Huston) and Messala (Toby Kebbell), his brother from another mother, are at odds with each other: Messala: “You should have stayed away!” Judah Ben-Hur: “You should have killed me!” Messala Severus: (decidedly) “I will.” […]

Posted by Dom Robinson on August 2nd, 2016
Highlander is a film I’ve seen a couple of times before now, but it’s been a long time since I last saw it and, 30 years on from its theatrical release, it’s good to reconnect with a classic from what feels like the not-so-distant past. I’ll also say at this point that I’m one of […]

Posted by Dom Robinson on April 3rd, 2016
The Durrells is a new six-part ITV drama based on Gerald Durrell‘s Corfu Trilogy, mixing light family-friendly drama with a hint of comedy, with Keeley Hawes‘ matriarch Louisa, frustrated at her lot. She’s a widow and has four rebellious children, hence a lack of a father figure in the childrens’ lives doesn’t help. Set in […]

Posted by Dom Robinson on March 19th, 2016
Ben-Hur is best known in the movie world in its 1959 multi-Oscar-winning form starring the late Charlton Heston and directed by the even later William Wyler. This time round, Jack Huston (Hail Caesar!, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies) takes the lead of Judah Ben-Hur, a Jewish prince in Roman-occupied Jerusalem who is betrayed and falsely […]
