Who doesn’t love a bargain? Queenpins is giving us Kristen Bell AND Kirby Howell-Baptiste — it looks great fun, and if we’re saying BOGOF afterwards it’ll be for all the best reasons. I’m fully expecting the movie to give me the same dopamine hit I get when my Tesco Clubcard vouchers plop through my letterbox…. Queenpins Kristen Bell and Kirby Howell-Baptiste are in the money (off) in new trailer Read More
The Man At The Bottom Of The Garden (short film) Short Film 3.5 stars
Jessica’s parents have been married for decades, but lockdown is proving difficult. And now mum has a plan to get dad out of the house. Made in and of a pandemic — a Zoom call set-up and a snappy 10 minute running time — this isn’t a horror, despite first appearances (and the plethora of… The Man At The Bottom Of The Garden (short film) Read More
Werewolves Within: order of deaths!
Who is the Beaverfield werewolf? Is miserable Emerson Flint a misanthrope lycanthrope? What about postperson Cecily, the mythical seventh child? Or Trisha the crazy maple syrup lady (though that would mean she ate her own dog)? Could it actually be ranger Finn, the affable incomer? Only two people and one dog are actually killed by… Werewolves Within: order of deaths! Read More
Werewolves Within 4 stars
With a werewolf terrorising a tiny American town during a snowstorm, the residents must decide if community is better than fighting before they all get eaten. Never has “it’s coming from inside the house!” been more apt, as a group of argumentative residents from the small town of Beaverfield take shelter in the local inn… Werewolves Within Read More
The Tomorrow War, today: that ending
Very spoilery on whether you should start hoarding food with a 2051 expiry date. (My three-star review) Well, the 21st century’s loss is the Dark Ages’ gain. The creatures, or White Spikes, which appeared overnight in Northern Russia in 2048, had actually been buried in the ice and snow since the eruption of a volcano… The Tomorrow War, today: that ending Read More
The Tomorrow War 3 stars
Visitors from 2051 arrive with news of a war with an alien species that is on the point of wiping out humanity. By the time the future comes knocking, there are only half a million humans left, after a three year war with an alien species that just appeared in Northern Russia as if from… The Tomorrow War Read More
Huge if true — Clifford The Big Red Dog gets a teaser trailer
It’s based on the Scholastic book character, which I had never heard of, but then I’m more of a cat person myself (I have to say that, my evil feline overlord is reading this over my shoulder). Much as I love a good movie title pun, in these information-overloaded times sometimes I yearn for an… Huge if true — Clifford The Big Red Dog gets a teaser trailer Read More
The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard: it’s all about family
Warning: spoilers ahoy (when I could work out what was going on, anyway) My 2/5 review is here First of all, it turns out Darius had not asked Sonia to get Michael Bryce to help spring him from his Mafia captors. What he’d actually said was “Anyone but Michael Bryce”. Morgan Freeman plays Michael’s stepdad,… The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard: it’s all about family Read More
The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard 2 stars
Bodyguard Michael Bryce one more teams up with hitman Darius Kincaid, this time to rescue Darius’s wife Sonia. With more motherfuckers than the Tory cabinet, this is not a film for the faint of heart, though the faint of hearing may find themselves counting their blessings. For most of its running time The Hitman’s Wife’s… The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard Read More
The film club tracks Missing 411: The Hunted 3 stars
I love the outdoors — walking, jogging, being dragged along by my dog while walking or jogging — though the UK is so small I’m not sure it actually qualifies as the “great” outdoors. Not like the US, with its vast, remote woods and mountains, beautiful but sometimes dangerous. The most frightening outdoorsy thing that… The film club tracks Missing 411: The Hunted Read More
“It’s just a flesh wound!” Separating Green Knight fact from fiction with Ralph Ineson
Ineson plays the not-so-jolly green giant in David Lowery’s upcoming movie The Green Knight, which also stars Dev Patel as Sir Gawain. A24 have now released this short film Legends Never Die: An Oral History of ‘Sir Gawain and The Green Knight,’ narrated by Ineson — a crash course on the 14th century epic poem that… “It’s just a flesh wound!” Separating Green Knight fact from fiction with Ralph Ineson Read More
The Last Bus trailer: Timothy Spall is on the trip of a lifetime
And those lakes he passes were created from my own tears of as I watched this. The Last Bus is about a widower travelling the length of the country, on buses, using his bus pass. (For non-British readers, UK pensioners are entitled to a free bus pass. That’s all you need to know, along with… The Last Bus trailer: Timothy Spall is on the trip of a lifetime Read More
