Indie Movie Review – Greatland
What to make of Greatland… Hmmm… well, I’m sure that there’s a message in there somewhere,, but I’m not sure what it is. Is it supposed to be a dystopian vision of what would happen if the beliefs and ideals of the far left came to pass? Well, if the far right’s idea of what would…

Movie Review – Freaky
—
What a fun movie! I can’t remember the last time I walked out of the theater having had so much fun. Let’s face it, when it comes to horror movies it’s all pretty much been done. When I saw Freaky was a Blumhouse production, though, I got excited. They are great at what they do.…

Indie Movie Review – Emily and the Magical Journey
I have to admit to feeling a bit like Groucho Marx over this film… “Why, a four-year-old child could understand this report. Run out and find me a four-year-old child. I can’t make head nor tail out of it.” It’s a family film aimed at feisty, imaginative young girls, and I am far from being…

Indie Movie Review – All Joking Aside
—
A few weeks ago I reviewed a documentary about a female comedian trying to make it as a stand up in the comedy clubs of New York City called Funny Pains and used my E.B. White quote, “Analysing humour is like dissecting a frog. Few people are interested and the frog dies of it,” so…

First View Movie Review – Murder on the Orient Express (No Spoilers)
I very much enjoyed 2017’s Murder on the Orient Express. As an avid mystery book reader, I’d heard of the 1934 novel in question, of the writer Agatha Christie, and even knew bits and pieces about her recurring eccentric detective Hercule Poirot. (It’s the kind of name that sticks with you.) But that is ALL.…

Movie Review – Let Him Go
—
Let Him Go took my heart, ripped it out of my chest, and let a stampede of horses crush it until it was unidentifiable as anything human. As I was sitting through the credits, my mind was reeling with emotions that were so carnal and brutal that it took me a moment to realize,…

Indie Movie Review: Love In Dangerous Times – A CoVid Rom Com
Now, before the shouts of “there’s the bandwagon, get on board quick” start, let’s just be honest and admit we all knew that a whole pandemic/COVID-19/lockdown-themed genre would be arriving before too long. Love In Dangerous Times isn’t the first one that I’ve seen though; that honour goes to the brilliant Staged, starring the magnificent duo that…

New Movie Review – 2 Hearts
—
I’m compelled have to give 2 Hearts an ‘A’. I can’t think of anything the creators of this movie could have done to make this movie any better. Is it as good as recent A-rated movies like 1917, Ford v Ferrari, or JoJo Rabbit? Certainly not. It’s not that kind of movie. But they took…

Movie Review – Pixie
—
This was a spur of the moment decision. Whilst sitting in the cinema yesterday (Thursday) I saw a trailer for Pixie and, as I had nothing planned for the next day thought I’d book tickets on the way out. I can hear you all now saying, “You dull bugger, that’s why they show trailers!” …But…
