Observe and Report is one of the funniest films of the last 10 years. I totally understand that comedy is the most subjective genre, and some people won’t find this film as funny as I do. It’s some sort of strange, transgressive, unhinged piece of work that despite its crude surface exterior, has something perversely…
After an extremely successful Kickstarter campaign Trick or Treat Studios raised the funds needed to bring a full 1:1 Child’s Play 2 Chucky doll replica to life. Developed by Garrett Zima this officially licensed doll is the most screen accurate product ever produced. T he doll itself is made from actual screen used molds including the…

Currently streaming on Netflix, Enemy, the glorious head-scratcher from Denis Villeneuve (Prisoners, Incendies, Sicario, Arrival, Blade Runner 2049), is a twisted mystery with all sorts of philosophically loaded implications. Is it a sly version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers? Is it a metaphysical exploration of divided souls hovering in a unique state of otherworldly…

When it comes to slasher parodies I don’t tend to look much further than Scary Movie. They nailed the spoof genre firmly on the head and for me it hasn’t really been topped since. I was asked to check out Camp Death III in 2D last year but never got around to it until director Matt…
Not only is Jonah Hill one of the funniest people on the planet with the most impeccable sense of comedic timing (and a damn fine dramatic screen presence when he wants to get serious), he can now be considered a smart and stylish filmmaker, as his writing/directing debut, Mid90s, is 85 minutes of pure awesomeness….
Green Book is a warm and entertaining Hollywood melodrama that tells an uplifting story despite focusing on some very upsetting racial discrimination, but what’s likely even more upsetting, is how the themes that this film touches upon are still hyper relevant today, despite the narrative being set in the early 1960’s. Viggo Mortensen and Mahershala…

Directed with extreme care and control by the eclectic filmmaker David Mackenzie (Starred Up,…

Absolutely chilling – I’ve seen three episodes of American Crime Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versace and I can’t wait to see the next six. Slickly put together by executive producer Ryan Murphy (who directed the very stylish pilot), I can’t imagine it was mentally healthy for Golden Globe winner Darren Criss (terrifying in a…
Absolutely wild stuff. I’m no major mark for horror movies, and I’m not sure I fully “got” each plot development as it naturally unfolded, but Luca Guadagnino’s ultra-stylish re-imagining of Dario Argento’s iconic horror film Suspiria is a bloody blast of surreal and creepy imagery. It also serves as a fully-loaded thematic exploration of motherhood,…
I’ve become something of a regular customer with Mathew Cullen’s vibrant and ambitious director’s cut film version of the celebrated British cult novel London Fields. Over multiple viewings, I’ve been able to pull something new and interesting from the experience, especially on a visual level; London Fields is jam-packed with verbal and pictorial information…
