The Lighthouse
Director Robert Eggers follows up The Witch with an even weirder offering with the wonderfully strange The Lighthouse. A study of cabin fever and encroaching madness in a New England lighthouse towards the end of the 19th century, it finds new 'wickie' Ephraim arriving at the remote island with seas...

Re: Knives Out
Rian Johnson follows his divisive Star Wars offering The Last Jedi with his most purely enjoyable effort yet, a modern reworking of Agatha Christie style whodunnits with an appropriately starry cast. Harlan Thrombey is a successful thriller writer who, after his 85th birthday party at his mansion, s...

Dora and the Lost City of Gold
So the Dora the Explorer live action movie, Dora and the Lost City of Gold is *whispers* actually quite good. If you told me this time last week that I would be saying that, I would have laughed in your face, said that the trailer looked pretty dodgy and that I had zero intention of seeing it anyway...

Thunder Road
Thunder Road, one of the best films I saw at the London Film Festival last October, is finally getting a UK release at the end of the month. Directed, written by and starring relative unknown Jim Cummings, it's the story of a police officer in a small Texan town whose life starts to slowly unravel a...

Greta
Greta is quite something. It's a 90s throwback thriller where every twist & turn pushed it deeper into totally insane, far-fetched territory and I was fully on board for it. The final third has enough moments to make you laugh & wince in equal measure. Isabelle Huppert is having the time of her life...

Re: Long Shot
Director Jonathan Levine reunites with The Night Before and 50/50 actor Seth Rogen for Long Shot, a very funny, if slightly far-fetched, political based rom-com with an on-form Charlize Theron as the other half of the mis-matched couple. The comedic chemistry between the two is effective and engagin...

Eighth Grade
I saw comedian Bo Burnham's wonderful directorial debut Eighth Grade at Sundance London back in June of last year, where it deservedly won the Audience Award. So it's a shame it's taken so long to get a proper release. Better late than never though as it's a beautifully perceptive comedy drama that ...

Re: Fisherman's Friends
One of those 'based on a true story' films where it becames annoyingly apparent whilst watching it and without having to google the details that 90% of what is happening on screen probably didn't happen in reality. The contrived romance being the most obvious example. That aside I thought the cast w...

Re: The Kid Who Would Be King
where did the old lady in the car come from?? When the undead warriors come into our world everyone but the knights and Merlin disappear. Like Alex's mum in her bedroom when the first one attacks him or the man walking his dog who vanishes when the eclipse happens. When the undead are killed, peopl...

Re: Holmes & Watson
Weirdly the Wikipedia page suggests a different beginning than the one we got in the UK. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holmes_%26_Watson As a result of being bullied by his peers, a young Sherlock Holmes vows to be emotionless and solve crimes. After taking revenge on his bullies, Holmes meets and...
