The idea of being renewed is essential. I wanna start over and come up with a new style. Old is out in the UK this Friday (23 July) and to stoke our interest there’s a new featurette by its writer-director M Night Shyamalan. Check it out below and find out why — despite Old‘s darkness… Old news: new featurette with M Night Shyamalan Read More
The Duke looks like a draw: check out this featurette and clip
An elderly Geordie steals an Old Master and ransoms it for charity in this Robin Hood tale. Based on a true story, The Duke stars Jim Broadbent and Helen Mirren (both doing excellent Geordie accents) and is out in the UK on 3 September. Here’s the full synopsis — scroll down for the featurette and… The Duke looks like a draw: check out this featurette and clip Read More
The ending of Great White
Who dies whines, who dares wins… (my review is here) There’s a lot of scrapping and moaning in Great White, followed by some screams and bubbly glugging. I should probably have titled this The ending of (the) Great White, as the poor maligned, five-metre murderous creature does die. As does the second great white (yikes,… The ending of Great White 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
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 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
“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
That Cruella ending (and beginning)
To misquote Bananarama it’s a Cruella, Cruella summer. (My review is here.) First of all let’s start at the end. There is a mid-credits scene which sees Cruella (for she is Estella no longer) have two dalmatian puppies delivered: they are the offspring of one of the dogs she kidnapped from the Baroness after one… That Cruella ending (and beginning) Read More
BLOG: The horror! Something else I’ve been mispronouncing for literally my whole life
And if that sounds like hyperbole, can I point out that hyperbole is probably one of the few words I have been pronouncing correctly (hi-PERR-bol-ee, bol-eev it or not). “We are so much more than our names,” purrs Gerard Butler’s lusty count sexily in Dracula 2000. I mention him because, well, I always do if… BLOG: The horror! Something else I’ve been mispronouncing for literally my whole life Read More
NEW Green Knight poster and Sir Gawain is on a mission
I love it, but is there perhaps a German word for how your brain feels when the word for a colour is written in another colour? Because that’s how I feel right now. Let’s face it, the knights of King Arthur’s round table were starting to look a bit wet, so it’s good to see… NEW Green Knight poster and Sir Gawain is on a mission Read More
Greenland gets a sequel, which is sure to be a sm(ash)
Sadly they’re calling it Greenland: Migration rather than Greenland: Genesis, but I couldn’t be more excited, even though the first film — triumph of the human spirit notwithstanding — is one of the saddest movies I’ve sat through (about five times now!) Also, to all those naysayers questioning how you can do a sequel set in… Greenland gets a sequel, which is sure to be a sm(ash) Read More
Keeping the dream alive: that Dream Horse ending
The film’s ending, and what happened to the real Dream Alliance. (Read my three-star review here.) In Dream Alliance’s initial races he gradually moves up the finishers, as Jan collects newspaper articles and owners’ badges from each race meeting. Eventually he comes first in the King Edward Challenge Cup at Newbury, winning £26,250. Before one… Keeping the dream alive: that Dream Horse ending Read More
