BLOG: Law Abiding Citizen gives us the People’s Choice Hannibal Lecter

29th September 2020 by Sarah Cartland

Killing with abandon, he doesn’t even leave his prison cell. And while all Clyde Shelton munches is the scenery and a decent steak, he does then murder his cell-mate with the bone. It was another Good-Bad Film Club evening last night, and I’ll not lie, this one – chosen purely for Gerard Butler – was… BLOG: Law Abiding Citizen gives us the People’s Choice Hannibal Lecter Read More

The Big Ugly trailer: Vinnie Jones’s gangland enforcer strikes oil, but has he met his match?

12th June 2020 by Sarah Cartland

I did giggle at Vinnie Jones’s menacingly growly voiceover in this new trailer for The Big Ugly (a title with room for myriad tweaks and variations) – an action revenge thriller that sees a London mobster transplanted to the US for a money-laundering oil deal. Neelyn (Jones), an enforcer for UK gang boss Harris (Malcolm… The Big Ugly trailer: Vinnie Jones’s gangland enforcer strikes oil, but has he met his match? Read More

“Promising Young Woman” trailer looks p… p… p… propitious

12th December 2019 by Sarah Cartland Leave a Comment

A trailer for Carey Mulligan-starrer Promising Young Woman has been released, and it looks like the kind of film that will have women cheering at the screen. A revenge comedy from writer-director Emerald Fennell, Mulligan stars as Cassie, who is regularly seen collapsed drunk in nightclubs and bars at the end of the night. And… “Promising Young Woman” trailer looks p… p… p… propitious Read More

Mandy (London Film Festival) 4 stars☆☆☆☆☆

6th October 2018 by Sarah Cartland Leave a Comment

“Weird shit” says Caruthers, who lives in an isolated forest caravan, of the activities of a terrifying near-demonic biker gang that his friend Red is planning to track down and kill. It’s a good description of both the gang and gleefully bloodthirsty action-horror Mandy, though it doesn’t go far enough. To be honest I had no… Mandy (London Film Festival) Read More

Assassination Nation (London Film Festival) 3.5 stars☆☆☆☆☆

2nd October 2018 by Sarah Cartland Leave a Comment

Assassination Nation – a noisy, bloody allegory for modern society – may feel like being whacked over the head by a righteously raging My Little Pony, but it’s also hugely entertaining. One of the problems with fighting back against a resurgence like Trump’s is that eventually people just get bored. They know he’s awful already. You… Assassination Nation (London Film Festival) Read More

6th June 2017 by Sarah Cartland 2 Comments

Sometimes it feels like our babies, even before birth, are intent on taking over everything, our bodies and our minds. Factor in the increasing number of ways mothers-to-be are told their needs must always be secondary to those of their unborn children and it’s no surprise that we’ve now got a film which pushes this idea to the max….

24th January 2017 by Sarah Cartland Leave a Comment

“Seeking revenge is the best cure for someone who’s been hurt”, says the captor of Oh Dae-su, a man who has been held for 15 years in a grimy hotel room, and this is a story of mutual revenge served both hot and cold. There’ve both been hurt, probably irreparably, and what looks like a chain of… Oldboy Read More
