There’s something quaint about trying to produce a play within a game designed to encourage depravity. The world of Grand Theft Auto Online is meant to be experienced surrounded by a persistent hail of gunfire, as you carry out heists with associates you’ll inevitably stab in the back before setting out on your own to […]
My one major takeaway upon finishing my screeners for Paradise was “Boy is Sterling K. Brown sensational at what he does.” And Brown is asked to do an awful lot in the series, leading a cast of heavy hitters through a thriller that is often uneven from a writing perspective and where we’re doled out […]
Well, this week we got to see just what our main four’s Outies were up to in the time between their Innies’ jail breaks until they reunited back on the Severed Floor at Lumon. Or, rather, we got to see a lot of what Mark and Helena were up to, more of Dylan’s Outie’s life […]
Wolf Man is the second Universal Monster getting the reboot by Blumhouse and filmmaker Leigh Whannell after their success with 2020’s The Invisible Man. Blake Lovell (Christopher Abbott) is a writer and father to Ginger (Matilda Firth). He is estranged from his father and his marriage with Charlotte (Julia Garner) has turned sour. When the […]
If you don’t know who Emperor Philipa Georgiou is and you never watched a minute of the pre-32nd century episodes of Star Trek: Discovery, then I can pretty confidently say that Section 31 is not the film for you. While the film does offer a pretty quick rehash on Georgiou’s history (as well as some […]
There are a number of mental leaps one needs to make whilst watching Prime Target, the new thriller from AppleTV+, but the chief one is that a young maths graduate student at Cambridge would not only be able to deduce the proper theorem that could, ostensibly, be used as a key to unlock all digital […]
A British family holidays on a remote Swedish island. Far from a tourist hotspot, visitors aren’t all that welcome at the best of times, and certainly not during the much celebrated local holiday: Karantan. To make matters worse, there may also be a killer on the island. Happy, happy holidays! Similar in style to the […]
Bob Dylan is arguably one of the greatest singer/songwriters ever to have lived. He has been the subject of many documentaries and the unofficial biopic I’m Not There. James Mangold, the filmmaker behind the Johnny Cash biopic Walk the Line takes on the challenge of making a biopic about another musical legend. In 1961, Bob […]
Queer is the second film made by Luca Guadagnino to be released in 2024. This second offering is an adaptation of William S. Burroughs’ novel of the same name. William Lee (Daniel Craig) is an American expat living in Mexico City in the 1950s. He spends his time meeting younger men for casual sex. William […]
And just like that – okay, after a three year wait – Severance is back! Thank Kier. And what a delightful way to throw us back into the world of Lumon, Innies, Outies (of whom we saw next to nothing this week), and Macrodata Refinement. And, I would be remiss not to mention, some absolutely […]
