All those invisible women over 40 in Hollywood and they make the movie about a man. Tsk. I’ll still watch it though, in fact I’ll probably be able to walk in unnoticed for free. Written and directed by Leigh Whannell, and produced by Jason Blum for Blumhouse Productions, this retelling stars Elisabeth Moss as a… First trailer for “The Invisible Man” is here! (I think) Read More
Tales From The Lodge 3 stars
Arranging reunion weekends with ex-university housemates is a bit like trying to get tickets to Hamilton. At 30, you fall at the first organising hurdle when it turns out no one’s free on the same weekend for the next two years. By 40, you arrange it anyway because you know those two years will go… Tales From The Lodge Read More
Black Moon (short film) Short Film 4 stars
A film about a subway where you can clearly see the outside world at each end many not sound frightening, but knowing help may be tantalisingly close makes Black Moon an unsettling watch. A black moon refers to the second new moon to occur in one month – an unusual event, and one that, according… Black Moon (short film) Read More
The Aeronauts 4 stars
A period drama about the weather really is peak British filmmaking. Corsets and barometers – what could be better? And they get to change the world. Set in 1862, this is an exhilarating journey up, up and away; with breathtaking action and a thoughtful central relationship between a doer and a thinker, as balloon pilot… The Aeronauts Read More
Curse Of Buckout Road 3 stars
America’s long roads seem to have more spooks than GCHQ, every journey down them offering a potential encounter with a ghoul, zombie, werewolf or reanimated, stinky pet cat. Buckout Road, in Westchester County in New York State, is the latest to make you wish you’d stayed at home with a good horror film (perhaps this… Curse Of Buckout Road Read More
Monos 4.5 stars
In the midst of Monos‘s scenes of ritual, fighting and bacchanalia, we get to see a clip from a TV show about the making of gummy bears: soft enough to chew but hard enough to hold their shape. It’s a perfect allegory for its child soldiers. A film that by turns is almost hypnotically somnolent… Monos Read More
The Beach Bum 3.5 stars
A genius at geniality, Moondog, a middle-aged slacker poet with a very rich, very accommodating wife, has the life many people dream of. Most of the time he’s chilling on his boat, surrounded by equally good-natured half-naked women, who lie around smiling cheerily while he bangs away on his scarlet typewriter. (“A Van Gogh with… The Beach Bum Read More
Trick Or Treat 3 stars
I loved the characters in Halloween crime thriller Trick Or Treat, particularly new dad and ex-criminal Greg – who moans so much about the dullness of life with a wife and new baby he doesn’t even let up while driving round with brutal henchman Clarence in a quest to find his ne’er-do-well brother Dan, and… Trick Or Treat Read More
The Addams Family 3 stars
It’s the job of the younger generation to drag us out of our comfort zones, or in the case of the Addams family, discomfort zones. So it’s left to the literally dreadful Wednesday (a gloriously deadpan Chloë Grace Moretz) to take the lead in demonstrating to her family that expecting conformity, even if it’s conformity to… The Addams Family Read More
Terminator: Dark Fate 4 stars
As a teenager in the UK in the 1980s, my four horsemen of the apocalypse were (in no particular order) nuclear annihilation, rabies, spontaneous human combustion and Margaret Thatcher. So when I first saw T2: Judgement Day in 1991, that scene where Sarah Connor watches a nuclear bomb exploding while she screams against the wire fence… Terminator: Dark Fate Read More
INTERVIEW: “Harpoon” director Rob Grant on his bloody brilliant lost-at-sea horror comedy
Writer-director Rob Grant’s viciously funny horror comedy Harpoon, about three “friends” marooned on a drifting yacht with no food or water, explores the toxic relationships between the wealthy Richie, his girlfriend Sasha, and their friend Jonah. With a dispassionate narrator to push the story forward, the film’s characters are both relatable and authors of their own… INTERVIEW: “Harpoon” director Rob Grant on his bloody brilliant lost-at-sea horror comedy Read More
INTERVIEW: “Peanut Butter Falcon” writer-directors Tyler Nilson & Michael Schwartz
Peanut Butter Falcon, the hit indie comedy about Zak, a young man with Down syndrome who breaks out of his restrictive care home for adventures on the road (and rivers) of the American South, has been winning over audiences and earning plaudits since its world premiere at this year’s SXSW film festival. Zak, played by Zack Gottsagen, is a huge wresting… INTERVIEW: “Peanut Butter Falcon” writer-directors Tyler Nilson & Michael Schwartz Read More
