    The Dark Tower Review – Long live the King

    I’m not sure what happened. I’m sure everyone’s mostly blameless. If I screwed up my job this bad I’d be fired.

    All You Brits should go see Your Name tomorrow

    Hey everyone, not so much a post as a PSA today. My favourite film of last year, Makoto Shinkai’s Your Name is returning to the cinemas for one day only and it’s Wednesday. Like I’m super glad that I was able to catch this last year because Anime Limited actually put out pretty fully featured cinematic…

    The Hitman’s Bodyguard Review – A comic drama

    One of the best bits in The Hitman’s Bodyguard comes when the script tries to pull off one of the worst plot reveals of all time. Like, someone admits to being the reason behind someone else’s downfall and I’m not sure why I’m trying to keep it secret. It’s the most obvious twist of all…

    The Weekly Roundup – 19/08/17

    Seems like we’ve started to hit into the end of summer slump big time now. It’s to be expected I guess but it always sucked that there was never anything good to see on my birthday.

    A Ghost Story Review – pictures for sad children

    I haven’t found a suitable way to talk about David Lowery’s A Ghost Story, so Imma just start. Hopefully I’ll find something along the way.

    England is Mine Review – If it is then I want out

    Here’s a Morrissey story for you. Admittedly quite a famous one. When he was publishing his autobiography, titled Autobiography, a few years ago it was delayed due to his demand that they release it under their Classics imprint. Yeah, sure Morrissey, in one hundred years people are gonna wonder what the tempestuous life of The…

    Annabelle: Creation Review – Too many monsters

    I know that horrifying looking dolls are like their own thing. Maybe back in them Victorian days kids were delighted by these tortured looking tiny people. This was back in the days when they had playrooms though, and the ghoulish staring eyes of the nightmare being wouldn’t be burrowing into you as you tried to…

    Atomic Blonde Review – Spy vs spy

    See I guess it goes like this. David Leitch co-directs John Wick (uncredited though) with Chad Stahelski. Around the same time Charlize Theron is coming off filming Mad Max: Fury Road and now she got the hard proof of her action chops she moves into production of an adaptation of The Coldest City, a passion…

    Shin Godzilla Review – Franchise evolution

    Is it Fox who have the monsters universe going on now? It’s not Universal because theirs in the Dark Universe, Warner got all that DC stuff and Disney owns every other brand under the sun. Gotta be Fox.

    Detroit Review – It ain’t right

    When I left the screening of Detroit I felt sick. Katheryn Bigelow’s exploration of the killings in the Algiers Hotel during the Detroit race riots of 1967 seems pretty much designed to do that. It’s so unflinching and brazen in its depiction of the brutalisation and murder of its characters that it just pulls a…
