Here’s a weirdly specific film-nerd opinion: a narrative arc spread over the course of three movies is the perfect stopping point for a series. I absolutely love a satisfying trilogy. This is why I get frustrated by the Amazing Spider-Man 2’s of the world – franchises that attempt the full trilogy journey, but collapse along […]
Kieran Freemantle and Zack Walsh talk about the Fast & Furious franchise and the latest film from the series F9: The Fast Saga.
Freaky is a horror-comedy that mashes up the slasher film with a body swap comedy. What was created was a wonderfully self-aware film that pays tribute to both genres. Millie Kessler (Kathryn Newton) is a quiet and bullied high school student. She lives in the small American town of Blissfield. But Blissfield has been plagued by […]
Supernova is a British drama about love and commitment in the face of life-altering circumstances. Sam (Colin Firth) and Tusker (Stanley Tucci) are a couple who have been together for 20 years. Tusker has been diagnosed with early-onset dementia and Sam is prepared to give up his life as a concert pianist to care for his […]
Cody Calahan’s Vicious Fun will largely be remembered for its untapped potential. The movie has a promising premise: A film critic accidentally stumbles into a self-help group for serial killers. Despite having an original and humorous idea though, Vicious Fun never takes full advantage of it. What we get is a fairly lackluster and formulaic […]
There is a sequence toward the beginning of F9: The Fast Saga where Tyrese Gibson’s character Roman improbably survives several near-death experiences in quick succession. Shaken up, but completely unscarred, he wonders aloud if it’s possible that he is something beyond human and therefore incapable of dying. Although his teammates simply laugh it off, this […]

Due to the pandemic, the sequel’s release was delayed for a year. Was it worth the wait? Following the events of the first Peter Rabbit film, Thomas and Bea (Domhnall Gleeson and Rose Byrne) have gotten married and Bea’s book […]
The iconic erotic thriller Basic Instinct is the latest film to be given a new home release by Studio Canal. Once again Studio Canal shows they put a lot of effort into their re-releases. Nick Curran (Michael Douglas) is a homicide detective who is assigned a case involving the murder of a man who was […]
Based on an acclaimed play by Florian Zeller, The Father is a Franco-British production and was one of the big winners of the 2021 awards season. Anthony (Anthony Hopkins) is an elderly man who is suffering from dementia. His daughter, Anne (Olivia Colman) struggles to care for him. Anne has to prepare her father that she’s moving to […]
In a cinematic landscape of big CGI blockbusters and superheroes, the film Nobody was a wonderfully violent, small-scale offering from the action genre. Hutch Mansell (Bob Odenkirk) is a seemingly ordinary man: he lives in the suburbs with his wife and two kids, has an office job and keeps forgetting to put the trash out. But […]
