Independent Film Review – The Devil Came Home
—
Cards on the table…I’m not a horror fan. To be honest though, that isn’t really a problem with The Devil Came Home. Because, while it is a horror film of the demonic possession sub-genre, it doesn’t bury itself in the interminable tropes that are usually present. Let’s face it, that usually means all manner of…

Independent Film Review – Jade
—
Yes…I, like many, went through my phase of consuming martial arts films at a phenomenal rate. It was relatively easy to get through the Bruce Lee films because he never made that many but Jackie Chan seemed to be churning out a new one every week! It wasn’t all Far Eastern fare though, Jean-Claude Van…

Theatre Review – Six Chick Flicks
One of the things that I love about going to the theatre is that you are never sure what you are going to see. There tends not to be any trailers like when you go and see a film so all you know is what it says on the flyers. Even with Shakespeare, there are…

—
Films are meant to alter your mood. Comedies make you feel amused, horrors make you unsettled, action films get your adrenaline running, and family films give you a warm fuzzy feeling.

30th Anniversary Rewatch – Speed
—
How can Speed be thirty years old when 1975 is only twenty years ago? Such is the vagaries of the perception of time concomitant with old age that has more to do with my family doctor than Doctor Who. If there has to be a film to watch again in order to celebrate an anniversary…

—
You do have to wonder sometimes, what happens and who is affected by changes in the law. This is, ultimately, what’s going on in The Last Deal. The story is that marijuana is to be legalised…so how does that affect the current cadre of dealers, suppliers, and producers of weed? So we end up with…

First Time Seen On The Big Screen – A Clockwork Orange
—
I’ve said many times how much I enjoy the opportunities to see older films on the big screen. I don’t know if other cinema chains have similar seasons but The Light has quite a few. Some are anniversary screenings, some are part of director seasons, others are, seemingly, put on just because someone fancies seeing…
