Living in Rome in the 1970s, being accepted for their abnormalities is nothing but a fantasy to Clara (Penélope Cruz) and her female-born, 12-year-old son, Andrew (Luana Giuliani). In sequences of black-and-white, writer/director Emanuele Crialese presents to us visions from Andrew – based ...
It’s been five years since Robert Mccall (Denzel Washington) slayed the Mandalorian (Pedro Pascal) and went back to his marital home. For this originally never guaranteed third entry, you better believe I was first in line to see it opening day. Are these movies the pinnacle of Washington’s ...
In Between Two Worlds, it’s described there is a job crisis in France. Rampant unemployment, people living paycheck to paycheck, and many trying to scavenge up the harshly limited hours from any job they can just to try and make ends meet. But what are these people really like? What are their ...
There’s a delicious element of B-movie camp that snakes its way through the frames of director Neil Jordan’s new film called Greta. Jordan knows he has crafted a technically astute psychological thriller with tinges of Hitchcock and Fincher. But the moments where he ...
It was with no small degree of excitement in 2001 that we learned Anthony Hopkins would reprise his Oscar-winning turn as Hannibal Lecter for the sequel to Silence of Lambs. Almost as quickly, our hearts would break when both Silence director, Jonathan Demme, and Jodie Foster both ...
In general, it seems (at least to me) that remakes are almost never a good idea. It’s quite hard to name a remake that is even able to hold a candle to the original version. But that doesn’t stop many studios and directors from taking on the challenge. And with Michel Hazanavicius’s latest project ...
Never before have the loves of speed and killer tunes come together so magically as they do in filmmaker Edgar Wright’s latest, a genre-crossing masterpiece with music on the brain and burnt rubber in its soul. It’s called Baby Driver and it’s a mob movie. It’s also a heist movie ...

It’s hard to believe that the cinematic adaptation of a 60s TV hit is almost thirty years-old! But here we are! Dead Reckoning PT1 makes the seventh entry into Tom Cruise’s action magnum opus. The man is now in his 60s and, whether you like his work or not, always ALWAYS gives ...
For those coming into the world of Hannibal cold, hang onto your hats. Cinematically, (ignoring the Michael Mann adaptation Mindhunter, where Brian Cox played him), we met Anthony Hopkin’s Dr. Hannibal Lecter for the first time in Silence of the Lambs, the second novel in Thomas ...
Only a couple of years ago now, Eureka in the UK released a beautiful big box edition in 1080p, replete with gorgeous artwork and decent special features. Sadly, the transfer of that release left me wanting, so imagine my thrill when I heard Kino Lorber were going to release a new 2160p ‘native ...
With the release of No Hard Feelings, Bottoms, and now this film, Joy Ride, it feels like the raunchy sex comedies that became of staple of late 90’s/early 2000’s pop culture are making a very strong comeback in 2023. With a story that goes completely off the rails, Joy Ride is full ...
In a cinematic world often dominated by gritty action movies and complex time-bending dramas, Barbie is a cotton candy-colored breath of fresh air, serving up a delightful dose of sweet entertainment that is both inoffensive and visually captivating ...
If ever there was an example of true worth over box office receipts (which is understandably important to the studios, but a financial one only) it is Frank Darabont’s The Shawshank Redemption. Cruelly, this film’s almost universal lauding didn’t translate to profitability. But that in no way ...
