Indie Movie Review – Undergods
Undergods was a surprise to me. I wasn’t a hundred percent sure what it was going to be about but, given it’s described as “an otherworldly journey through a Europe in decline”, I wasn’t expecting a lot of laughs. It turns out that Undergods is quite bleak but not relentlessly so, despite the fact that the linking…

Marvel Cinematic Universe will release four movies in last five months of 2021
It feels like we’re rounding the corner from the effects of COVID19, and if the vaccinations can outpace the variants then maybe, just maybe, we’ll have a normal second half of 2021. I’m sure that’s what movie lovers, and especially movie theaters, are hoping for. And the MCU is certainly going all in on a return…

Indie Movie Review – Agent Revelation
Agent Revelation or Agent I — they don’t seem to have settled on a title for it yet, is a sci-fi, action thriller. One of the things it has going for it is a big name. To be honest, in the world of sci-fi, action thrillers it has a BIG name on board… Michael Dorn! Hell’s…

Hobbitses – A Tolkien history – Behind the Lord of the Rings in epic fantasy films
Typical! Wait decades for a film with hobbits in, and six come along at the same time! At least, that’s how it felt. Like many teens of the time, I had my copy of the single volume paperback edition of The Lord Of The Rings, shortly after it was first published in 1968, having…

Back To the Movies We Go: Once more unto the breach!
I don’t know if anyone’s noticed, but there’s been a bit of a hiccough vis-à-vis watching films in the cinema for the last five months or so in that, well, there haven’t been any! Once COVID-19 started getting serious, the cinemas were closed down for the good of public health and safety, along with anything…

Movie Review – Tenet
—
So it’s here…Tenet. The first big blockbuster to emerge following the outbreak of Plague 2.0. Was it worth the wait? Well… I thought so! Is it action packed? Yes. Is it beautifully shot? Yes. Is it well acted? Yes. Has Christopher Nolan managed to get all his hallmarks in? Yes. So what’s Tenet about? Hmmm……

Classic Movie Review – E.T. The Extra Terrestrial
What an enchanting film! E.T. The Extra Terrestrial is deservedly among the greats. Steven Spielberg proved he was mighty with the movie-making. Who else can take a goofy premise (suburban boy befriends gentle alien) and make it so compelling? So buoyant and wondrous. It seems like it would be a kiddie flick, but to be…

Weekly Peeple’s Poll Results for February 24, 2020
—
Another not great week for new movies. Call of the Wild did pretty well. (I have it an A in my review, partly for sentimental reasons.) The Peeple gave Call of the Wild a respectable 8.0 After-movie rating, up 0.9 points from the 7.1 Expectation-rating. That’s not going to win any awards, but it’s a solid showing. Besides…
