So what would you do if these two lovely ladies came knocking at your door, late at night and soaking from the rain outside? You’d let them in right? C’mon guys you know you would, stop kidding yourself. The rules of Knock Knock are simple, knock on a door, seduce the married man in the…
The Walk is an interesting movie from director Robert Zemeckis, who is unquestionably one of the modern pioneers of pure movie magic. After countless entertainments, he’s been one of my favorite filmmakers, someone always interested in pushing the limits of technology while still imbuing his movies with a sense of heart and character. Who Framed…
Joy is a good, inspiring movie, filled with lots of heart and genuine emotion, about something honest and real and tangible, featuring the radiant Jennifer Lawrence in a sensational movie-star performance that easily cements her as THE hottest (both in terms of looks and acting ability) actress of the moment. Seriously…name me one other actress…
Essex Boys: The Truth looks to dispel the speculation behind the grisly land rover murders carried out in 1995 on a cold winters night in Rettondon, Essex. The true events have inspired a series of spinoffs, films and exploitations of the events and still brings in a wide attention of people looking for answers of…
Gregory Jacobs’ Magic Mike XXL is a hoot and a holler, and a total 180 from the original, far more ambitious film, which I legitimately feel is great, subversive cinema. With Steven Soderbergh handling the cinematography and editing (under his usual pseudonyms of Peter Andrews and Mary Ann Bernard, of course), the entire tech package…
The tickets are flying off the shelves, the popcorn is stacking up higher than the tallest tower, the cosplayers are strapping into their plastic armour and parading down to their local cinema. The force has awakened and its the start of erasing the memory of the prequels from existence. The magic of the original trilogy…
There are very few horror locations able to live up to the unsettling air that surrounds the “little house on the prairie”. The claustrophobic density of trees engulfing a cabin in the woods is one thing but there’s nothing quite like the vast plains reaching out to horizon, impenetrable walls of crops for miles around…

You’ll know within the first few minutes of the impossible to completely describe and classify film Hard To Be A God if you’re going to make it through all three hours of this carnival of cinematic madness. In production for 13 years with director Aleksei German passing away before the film could be fully completed…
Ted is back in the sequel that no-one was particularly begging for, as its distinctly average figures at the US Box Office will attest. Sharing the meandering style of plot, Seth MacFarlane’s follow-up is even less consistent than its predecessor, weakly structured across nearly 2 hours of run time. To call the narrative “thin” is…
The insane German import Wetlands is singular, gross, nauseating, highly sexual, strange, lovely, smart, insane, icky, depraved, uber-graphic, and sort of monumental. It’s never, ever going to be remade for American audiences and it’s likely to appeal strictly to fans of “cinema-as-art.” I’ve never seen anything remotely like it. You get to see a POV…
The End of the Tour focuses on a long weekend in the life of deceased author David Foster Wallace, whose 1996 novel, Infinite Jest, became a literary sensation and cultural touchstone for an entire generation. Bolstered by two terrific performances by Jason Segel (as Wallace) and Jesse Eisenberg (as then Rolling Stone reporter David Lipsky),…
I’m always wholly fascinated by this film, and it’s something I feel that’s worth revisiting every year because of how it uses aesthetics to drive the plot. Boarding Gate is genre-hopper Olivier Assayas (Carlos, Summer Hours, Irma Vep) doing a sort-of Michael Mann-esque anti-thriller that’s more cerebral than crammed with action. It’s the kind of…
Credit must be given to director Reed Morano with her feature film debut Meadowland – she’s taken incredibly dark and troubling material and turned it into an inherently compelling, extremely raw, and often times painful cinematic experience, one that’s wholly engrossing, but that will test the strength of most viewers. Given that the film is…
Despite the smooth polish of its trailers and the flashy on-set stills teased through the Summer, Spectre has been a production mired in difficulties and put together more hastily than you’d imagine considering its mammoth budget (estimated at $300-$350 million, the second most expensive film ever made). Filming commenced in December 2014 during the height…
It’s like Superbad with zombies! If a zombie apocolypse had taken over the movie Superbad and thrown in a few scouts then it would of created this wonderfully addicitive Horror Comedy. Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse revolves around three scouts, on the eve of their last camp-out who discover that a zombie virus has…
