Ready Player One (3D) 3.5 stars
I spent the 90s obsessed with Oasis, though I’ve only played a computer game once and it didn’t end well. But despite my great age and declining short term memory, I’m not bad on 80s pop culture. With my 8 year old as the representative for modern youth (he’s already helped me take the child… Ready Player One (3D) Read More
Ghost Stories 4 stars
“Abandon hope, all ye who enter here” is the inscription at the entrance to hell, according to Dante’s Divine Comedy. But while no one actually wants to go to hell – not even me, when it still looks as if that’s where Keanu is headed in Constantine – for many, it’s actually finding out that… Ghost Stories Read More
A Quiet Place 4.5 stars
With A Quiet Place, director and co-writer John Krasinski proves himself to be a master of relentless (and I mean relentless) tension, which doesn’t stop until the final frame. This film is only 90 minutes’ long but it’s a 90 minute crescendo of suspense, peppered with shocks and heartbreak. This is a battle for survival,… A Quiet Place Read More
Walk With Me 3 stars
“Silence can be thunderous… silence can absorb all sounds” says a nun at Plum Village, the monastery set up by the Zen Bhuddist teacher and peace activist Thích Nhất Hạnh. It’s based in France, after Hanh was exiled in the 1960s for speaking out against the Vietnam War. I’ve always been fascinated by films about… Walk With Me Read More
Sheep And Wolves 2.5 stars
In a land far away, a wolf pack has pitched up in a canyon, eager to make camp and settle down for good. Nearby is a village of happy sheep, but when the over-enthusiastic young wolves begin to plan the demise of their new woolly neighbours, their old and wise leader Magra holds them back… Sheep And Wolves Read More
The Islands And The Whales 4 stars
Before watching Mike Day’s film, all I knew about the Faroe Islands was that they were sort-of Danish and had an occasionally giant-killing national football team. Actually I wouldn’t be surprised if they really had killed giants, as the islands have a tradition of huldufólk, elves who couldn’t be seen by everyone (or by anyone… The Islands And The Whales Read More
Tomb Raider 3 stars
Back in ancient times, Giant Tomb Door Puzzle Creator must have been a legitimate and highly lucrative career path, there are so many of them; the opening of which involve feats of lateral thinking apparently only available to 20th and 21st century western explorers of high morals. Yes – like in many movies combining brave… Tomb Raider Read More
Alien Domicile 2 stars
Four government workers wake up groggy and uneasy, to find themselves in a large windowless room, their arms showing signs of an injection. They all have memories of their mornings so far, memories which eventually unnerve rather than comfort. Russell Turner (Michael Moneiro) thinks it’s a drill, and unpleasant though it is, they’ll be released… Alien Domicile Read More
Killing Gunther 3 stars
Say what you like about Gunther and his 50-year kill tally, he’s certainly earned his title as the World’s Best Assassin through sheer hard work, dilligence and commitment. Not for him an Instagram account with pictures of chalk body outlines on floors, a #HitmansLife hashtag and a feeling-blessed emoji after another murder without legal consequences…. Killing Gunther Read More
