“Darling, I’m home!” A child’s birthday should be a special occasion. Full of balloons, kazoos, and party hats, there ought to be smiles on every child in attendance…especially when the cak guye is being presented. The obligatory birthday song follows. And then, as the ...

Dudes, I’m not sure – upon seeing The Nursery – if you’ll be able to piss alone in a bathroom again. Seriously. Do whatever you need to do to convince yourself that, yes, there is nobody in the shower. Keep looking over your shoulder and lie, lie, lie to yourself. But get out of there ...

In which Katniss Everdeen gets down and dirrrty...but you still won't care. From Russia with Love this spy game is not. Red Sparrow is a spy movie that should work. It has a very talented cast and the story, about a former Russian ballerina who ...

The passage of time can be a quiet fox, running unencumbered so deftly that one is caught unawares as it bluntly and unmercifully makes its presence known. When I sat down to review this Blu-ray, the realisation that 21 years have passed since the death of Chris Farley hit ...

Geezer comedy goes a bit outside its comfort zone and takes a stab at women this time around with Book Club, a harmless comedy that’s guaranteed to put both a smile on your face with its inimitable charm and your head in your palm with its never-ending cavalcade of cornball jokes and ...

By the 1980s, cinema was in well and truly in the post Star Wars world. Its monster success and permeation into the cultural zeitgeist still looms large over movies today. Like any profitable venture, those left bobbing about aimlessly in the wake of such a phenomenon try to ride that ...

The only thing more confusing and carelessly constructed than the Winchester mansion itself, is the story that tries to explain why the house was built in such a haphazard manner in the first place. Construction began on the real-life Winchester House in 1886 and was never ...

Sickly sweet trashterpieces made for Gore-Gore Gorillas and Horror Hounds are rarely this good. We tend to like them because we laugh at them and understand the humor involved; some of us appreciate the lo-fi vibe of such DIY efforts. Others just dig the grit and ...

"You move me, Sail, you really do. You mark me the deepest," says Laura Dern as Lula to Nicolas Cage. It is a haunting moment in an equally haunting tale that features an unforgetable Willem Dafoe as an accident prone bank robber, a blonde-haired Isabella Rossellini ...

Much of the fun and joy of watching a Star Wars movie these days comes not from discovering something new, but rather from revisiting everything old with a new set of eyes. Whether the original series of sequels and prequels or within the Star Wars Story ‘tweeners, ...
