Cop goes undercover to reveal Britain’s heroin habit in trailer for crime drama Bluff

5th May 2022 by Sarah

The truth will get you killed… New British crime drama Bluff is British-Bangladeshi screenwriter and producer Sheikh Shahnawaz’s feature directorial debut, though he has an impressively extensive short film CV including Friend Request (2015), Stalker (2016), Duality (2018), The Woods (2018) and Trick (2018). In the film, a London police officer goes undercover as a heroin addict in… Cop goes undercover to reveal Britain’s heroin habit in trailer for crime drama Bluff Read More

Today’s project: Power

18th August 2020 by Sarah

Warning: very spoilery article. (You can read my review and watch the trailer here.) Hidden superpowers – we all have them. I apparently have a third arm visible only to my children, which miraculously appears at school pick-up when they chuck everything at me. If you don’t, then try pretending you do. It’s amazing what… Today’s project: Power Read More

Project Power 3.5 stars☆☆☆☆☆

16th August 2020 by Sarah Leave a Comment

On the streets of New Orleans, word begins to spread about a mysterious new pill that unlocks superpowers unique to each user. Near the start of new Netflix Original Project Power there’s a montage of calls to the emergency services with stunned callers relating what they’ve just seen.

Valley Of The Dolls 2 stars☆☆☆☆☆

4th April 2019 by Sarah Leave a Comment

I knew the clothes would be terrific when I spotted Handbags by… in the opening credits. And it’s the outfits (along with the unintentionally fevered atmosphere) which stretches this film up to two stars. Small town girl turned New York secretary turned Hollywood model Anne Welles is elegant in a yellow maxi dress, a tight… Valley Of The Dolls Read More

Breaking The Limits 3.5 stars☆☆☆☆☆

18th March 2019 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Breaking The Limits initially has an air almost of light-heartedness, as young Jerzy (Jakub Gierszal) and his girlfriend Grasnya (Anna Próchniak) inject themselves in a squat with their friends. Looking healthy and feeling they’re in control, they joke about how statistically most Western philosophy students have tried drugs. Fast-forward two years and the couple’s heroin addictions… Breaking The Limits Read More

Burning Men 3 stars☆☆☆☆☆

22nd February 2019 by Sarah Leave a Comment

There’s a great gag at the end of Burning Men that made me wonder if the writer thought it up then worked backwards creating a story leading up to it. And that’s partly what the film itself does, when what seems like a British horror movie turns out to be more a psychological foray into… Burning Men Read More

Ekaj 3.5 stars☆☆☆☆☆

24th July 2018 by Sarah Leave a Comment

The relationship between the young Ekaj (Jake Mestre) and the older Mecca (Badd Idea) is central to writer-director Cati Gonzalez’s movie. It gives warmth and structure to this story about two young gay Puerto Rican men, struggling to survive in that harshest of environments, New York City. But it’s also one that threatens to become… Ekaj Read More

Beast Of Burden 2 stars☆☆☆☆☆

22nd July 2018 by Sarah Leave a Comment

A beast of burden is usually a mule, and that’s actually what pilot Sean Haggerty (Daniel Radcliffe) is; a mule for a violent cartel, running drugs over the Mexican border. He’s also burdened with much more though, and has got himself caught in a mesh of interlocking dangers that are gradually crushing him. Sean is… Beast Of Burden Read More

T2: Trainspotting 4 stars☆☆☆☆☆

29th January 2017 by Sarah 3 Comments

The cast were up for the sequel as long as shooting disdn'rt start until after Highlands Fashion Week

“Skanky nostalgia” is how my friend affectionately described the oddly-named T2: Trainspotting, after a screening filled with fellow 40-somethings. In fact when you see it, listen out when the lights go up for the collective “ooohhh” as we oldies stretch our stiffened limbs up out of our seats. Director Danny Boyle has, though, managed to stay just the right side of that nostalgia… T2: Trainspotting Read More

The Night Before 3.5 stars☆☆☆☆☆

25th November 2016 by Sarah Leave a Comment

The 20th anniversary comeback tour - drink, women, and an intern whose only job was to pick out the blue ones from the superfood blueberries

All these ghosts appearing, from Christmases Past, Present and Future. The Night Before is a New York version of A Christmas Carol but with what Chris describes as “pseudo racist fake-ass acrylic sweaters”, trying to take off his obligatory Christmas jumper when an annual Christmas Eve night out starts disintegrating into recrimination and desperation. It’s… The Night Before Read More
