What a spectacular hour of television. From the thrilling prison break to the revelation of a double agent within the midst of the Imperial Security Bureau, this episode really had it all. And that included the chance to see two great actors – Stellan Skarsgård and Andy Serkis – really get the chance to show […]
In the first two decades of the 21st century we saw the resurrection of the zombie genre. One of the key films responsible for this revival was 28 Days Later, a film that is now 20 years old. Jim (Cillian Murphy) is a bike courier who awakes from a 28-day long coma and finds that Central London has been […]
I wanted to like The English, the new western series from British writer/director Hugo Blick, which premieres on Prime Video on November 11. After all, I enjoy the show’s two stars – Emily Blunt and Chaske Spencer – and I’m always down for a western. But, after watching the six episodes of the show provided […]

Prey for the Devil is an exorcism from the director of The Last Exorcism, and one of the writers of Halloween: H20. With credits that, Prey for the Devil had an uphill challenge to prove itself.

There are tensions in the family unit. Cadi (Annes Elwy), a waitress from the nearby town is hired to help cater the party […]
Barbarian has become one of the surprise hits of 2022. Made on a modest $4.5 million budget it already has a healthy box-office return and is a critical hit. The question is, has the hype been justified? Tess Marshall (Georgina Campbell) travels to Detroit for a job interview and books an Airbnb in the Brightmoor area of the city. However, […]
I’ve complained in the past about Andor feeling more like a film cut into episodic slices, with endings that didn’t push the narrative forward, leaving us with a lack of momentum leading into the week-long wait until the next episode. But “Nobody’s Listening!” absolutely crushed it with its end of episode button and I cannot […]
The Banshees of Inisherin is an Irish dark-comedy/drama which sees Martin McDonagh, Colin Farrell, and Brendan Gleeson team up for the first since the excellent In Bruges. Pádraic Súilleabháin (Farrell) is a farmer who lives on the small island of Inisherin. When Pádraic tries to invite his friend, Colm (Gleeson) to the pub for a drink, the older man seemingly […]
2002’s Dog Soldiers was a film that did three remarkable things when it was released. It gave Neil Marshall his feature film debut, helped revitalise the horror genre in Britain, and was a rare modern werewolf film. Since it’s celebrating its 20th anniversary it’s worth checking out. A small army platoon is sent to the Scottish Highlands […]
