An inspired bit of silliness in the stable of “feels like these streaming services are just grabbing 2 actors and then finding something for them to act in together because audiences will love whatever it is” programming that’s so prevalent at the moment. You watch this because it’s got Clooney and Pitt in it, not…
Suitably ludicrous train/murder film which we put off watching for ages because it looked like either Snowpiercer, or a ripoff thereof. Good fun to watch one we decided to though.
GREETINGS STARFIGHTER! YOU HAVE BEEN RECRUITED BY THE STAR LEAGUE TO DEFEND THE FRONTIER AGAINST XUR, AND THE KO-DAN ARMADA. GET READY! Screened on the Bristol IMAX screen as part of the excellent Forbidden Worlds festival – this tale of a trailer park whiz kid being recruited by an alien to pilot a fighter spacecraft…
Watching old films is really like opening a time capsule, and this Pam Grier opus was really something – a no-nonsense woman, in a chauvinist world. I feel like the story raised more questions than it answered, but it was a reminder of just how ad-hoc the 1970s were. Also how the discipline of filmmaking…

The ol’ car salesman/family man with the secret past as a top-level assassin trope, eh? I chalked this one up as enjoyable nonsense of the sort of film you watch on a weekend when you don’t want a challenge. There’s plenty of better films out there, but I don’t regret watching this one.
Yes siree, the stories get stupider and the fights get longer – and in this case the film doesn’t weigh in much short of 3 hours. It’s all the quasi-balletic yet ruthlessly efficient John Wick vs. endless legions of bad guys again, set up in the typical assortment of set pieces. Final battle sequences made…
Well, that was an antidote to Marvel films, wasn’t it? Best multiverse story outside of Rick & Morty. Bloody staggering. Love love loved it. 👍👍
