It is no secret that Anthony Perkins used to be a very hot item in the acting realm.  For nearly a decade, he was the talent the major studios wanted attached to their movies.  Most of this was before Hitchcock’s Psycho; before the role of Norman Bates so perfectly melded  ...

If ever there was a case for a decent show that landed just a few years too late, it is this CBS actioner from the early 90s. Raven, starring Jeffrey Meek and the six million dollar man himself, (Lee Majors) took a blazing stab into the market with this Japanese flavoured,   ...

There’s never been a love story as twisted and as unique as The Lobster.  Set in the near future, the cold and distant world of director Yorgos Lanthimos’s first English-language feature is a bizarrely fascinating one.  It is a chilling universe where the comedy is as dark  ...

It’s not often that I get the chance to say that there’s actually a mini-series or television show based on Stephen King’s writing that is actually worth your time.  Hulu’s 11.22.63 is one such production that I can recommend.  While it is an ongoing production, the release  ...

Think you know westerns?  If you haven’t seen High Noon, then you are two boots short of a genuine cowboy outfit.  In 1952, this “little” film defied the genre and saved all its bullet-slinging action for the final few moments.  And what of the rest of the film?  It’s all  ...

The flash of neon.  The absorbing synths.  The resounding thump of the bass.  Nerve is more than a movie; it is an interactive realm of total absorption.  Classifying its audience into two parts, Nerve is either for (a) players or (b) watchers.  And let me be the one to tell   ...
