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…

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…
A Grand Quiet
