A Groundhog Day Perspective on Ryan Reynold’sย Free Guy
โ
We all know that things have been all over the place, thanks to the devastation caused by Plague 2.0. There used to be an order to things; films came out in the cinema for a few weeks or months, depending on how popular it was assessed they would be. The phrase โreleased directly to videoโ…

Groundhog Day Themed Movie Short Review – Two Distant Strangers
Well, what a GHD fuelled day this has turned out to be! While reading up aboutย Groundhog Day For A Black Manย I came across claims that the idea was stolen and turned intoย Two Distant Strangers. Always being able to find half an hour for a short film — and having a Netflix subscription — I hit…

Time Loop Movie Short –ย Groundhog Day For A Black Man
I donโt use YouTube often as the seemingly endless advert interruptions are desperately annoying, but it was the only source I had for 12:01 PM so I was stuck with it. Afterward, I noticed there was another clip available called Groundhog Day For A Black Man, and as it only ran for under five minutes…

Movie Review – Boss Level (2021’s Groundhog Day Loop film)
As the queen of Groundhog Day (GHD) time loop movies, of course I viewed and reviewed Boss Level. It’s only viewable on Hulu. This is too bad, because in a normal (ie, not CoVid year) this would be a crowd-pleasing blockbuster on the big screen. Seriously, Boss Level is a fantastic actioner that’s more comedic…

No Watch Film Review –ย The Butterfly Effect (We can’t watch this movie again. Here’s Why.)
So asย Groundhog Day rapidly approaches the people of the United States (honestly, before the film, Iโd never heard of it and I think that is true for most people outside the USA), weโve been doing rewatches or reviews of films that use the time loop trope. Some fit the Groundhog Dayย formatย better, while others are peripheral…

Rewatch Movie Review –ย Twelve Monkeys
For the record,ย Twelve Monkeysย was suggested to me as a rewatch to tie in with theย Groundhog Dayย theme, however, there is no way thatย Twelve Monkeysย is aย Groundhog Dayย film. No ifs, buts, or maybesโฆ itโs a time travel film rather than a time loop film. But, having got it cued up and ready to roll, it seems rude not…

GHD Indie Movie Review –ย The Endless
So where do I begin withย The Endless? It only just squeaks in as a Groundhog Day type film. Not because there isnโt a time loop, more likely because there isnโt just the one. There seem to be dozens of them. Some only seem to last seconds, whereas others last longer. There is a consistency regarding…

GHD Indie Movie Review –ย Blood Punch
โ
Blood Punch is an unusual little film. It starts off with our hero, Milton (Milo Cawthorne) waking up in a wilderness lodge on Tuesday. His first action is to run and throw up in a toilet. While heโs there he finds a screen, a load of wires, and a few other bits and pieces in…
