Shot on video and completely off its futureshock rocker, Todd Sheets’ Moonchild, in which a werewolf super soldier joins forces with an army of dim-witted kung-fu warriors in the search for his messiah-like son, just won’t stay dead and buried! ...

On again, off again. In love, out of love. Going back to school, starting a new job. Everything is fluid and everything is changing in the whimsical and lustful drama from French director Jacques Audiard. Capturing the residential district of Les Olympiades in beautiful black and white photography ...

Back in the early nineties, Kevin Costner was at the zenith of his cinematic reach. With the likes of Bull Durham, The Untouchables and his Oscar-winning Dances with Wolves under his belt already, the man could (and did) write his own ticket. In these happy times, a star with that pedigree ...

There is nothing more alluring to me for a night at the movies than a good old-fashioned man versus beast tale. My favourite film has always been Spielberg’s Jaws and forever will be. Even the most ill-advised and derivative of this sub-genre usually end up an easy watch for me. So long ...

When a film, not particularly well-liked at the time by critics, goes on to earn back four times its budget, there had to be something to it. Road House is the go-to for many Gen-Xers (myself included) for a bit of dumb fun. It’s ridiculous, set-your-brain-to-neutral, action fare; the kind made for (and seemingly ...

With a deadline looming over the troubled sailors, Hal Ashby’s The Last Detail makes the film’s numbered days last as long as possible with its simple plot and generous humanity. Starring Jack Nicholson as the rough and rugged Billy “Badass” Buddusky, Otis Young as the sensible and strict ...

At the turn of last century the superhero genre was on the cusp of a major elevation in output. Despite Batman and Robin crashing and burning that franchise, films like Blade, X-Men and Spider-man were all in various stages of production and would go on to embolden the now saturated superhero ...

With everything on point in this action comedy, Bullet Train arrives on your screens exactly on time!

“I like to remember things my own way.” When Fred Madison (Bill Pullman), a saxophone player based in Los Angeles, speaks these words to detectives in the beginning of Lost Highway, Lynch, I feel, gives the audience a big clue as to what this neo-noir’s story is about. And for those who’ve ...

Ah, the Cold War. Good times. Good times. And, with Red Dawn leading the way, it produced a great many war-themed movies during the 1980s all with Russia on its mind. One of those, albeit more teenage-driven than Rambo II, is now appearing on 4K Ultra HD. WarGames remains ...

“Some things there’s no moving on from.” The concept of The Banshees of Inisherin is something so simple. Yet from it there spouts a well of introspective and evocative questions that perhaps every human somehow faces in their own lifetime. After we take in the gorgeous view of the coast of an Irish ...

“I’ve written myself into my screenplay.” Leave to Charlie Kaufman (with the help of “Donald Kaufman”) to pen one of the most neurotic and meta stories ever that also manages to be mind-blowingly innovative, hilarious, exciting, relatable, and somehow even a bit sad. Yes, any and all of his other ...

The unsettling and hazy atmosphere in the pristinely crafted Cure is heavy and hypnotic, and it is only ever broken by bursts of raw emotion or the bluntly-shown murders. Blending the noir with soft mystical elements, writer/director Kiyoshi Kurosawa brings a strong originality ...
