The movie was incredible. It effortlessly and seamlessly transitions from one genre to another. Brilliant. ​What's more, the way it tackles such deep and universal themes like aging and the role of pets in our lives is very emotional and relatable. Without a doubt, it's a film that leaves a lasting impression and makes you think long after you've seen it.…

"Presumed Innocent" is an incredible pedigree of film on every level which opens by painting a portrait of the main protagonist Rusty Sabich, although the picture which slowly emerges is a far from perfect one. His marriage isn't all it could be or appears to be and his past is blighted by an obsessive and torrid love affair with co-worker Carolyn Polhemus. He suddenly finds himself on trial for her murder and all these unsavoury and unseemly past misdemeanours gradually and inevitably rise to the surface once more to create a fresh strain on his already fragile marriage. This is one of the ma…

When the Mexican farmers under their leader “Chama” (John Saxon) finally run out of patience with the gringo’s stealing their land, they take matters into their own hands and earn the enmity of opportunist land-grabber “Harlan” (Robert Duvall). Meantime, “Kidd” (Clint Eastwood), who prefers to see life through the bottom of a bottle, has been having his own altercations with the law and so reluctantly joins the posse. Fairly swiftly, though, he (and we) realise that he’s backed the wrong horse as his new boss’s indiscriminate brutality begins to turn his stomach. Constantly ribbed by the provo…

Body Rock, a dance movie without rhyme or reason. Holy Prancercise, this one is colorful. Here we have a more mature, more adult pop-lock movie that has a very respectable cast but doesn’t really know how to utilize what it’s got. Filmmaker Marcelo Epstein, yikes, definitely made this as a love letter to the street culture of New York at the time, including entire segments hyping up graffiti and breakdance cultures. But regardless of what Lennon preached, love wasn’t all you needed. Some talent wouldn’t have hurt. Produced by New World and Released September 28, 1984, Body Rock does …

It's not often the second movie is as good as the first movie and this was awesome! The story was good, the movie was funny and they added what I felt was missing from the first movie the back story to Po and his father (a Panda and a goose). Although the villian story seemed a bit familiar it was different enough not to feel too much of a copy of the first film, so well done guys.…

Talk about open goal? I remember the controversy back in 2002 as the Irish team struggled to prepare for their World Cup campaign. You’d also have had to have been living under a large rock not to have known that Roy Keane was an independently minded individual whom even Alex Ferguson had difficulty in keeping under control, and that Mick McCarthy (Steve Coogan) was charged with managing a national side with less resources that the average English championship side. When they arrive in Saipan, they discover a pitch better suited for sheep, an hotel that had seen better days and believe it or n…

Ok, so I don’t remember going to “Silent Hill” first time around (in 2006), but after this I am certain I will never go again. At least Christopher Gans had enough wits about him to cast someone easy on the eye in the lead, but even the ashen-looking Jeremy Irvine couldn’t breathe any life into this. He’s “James” who meets up with “Mary” (Hannah Emily Anderson) after he managed to hit her luggage with his car. Thereafter they flirt, court, move in together, split up - but as far as this plot is concerned, in no coherent order and only delivered to us by way of flashback. It’s only as he return…

So often it’s not just the film itself, but the memories it evokes that can make it special. Every time I see this, I recall the 16mm projector we had in the classroom and the tinny (mono) speaker that belted out the Prokofiev score. With each of the main characters assigned their own, and highly appropriate, musical instrument and with only a sparing narration (in some cases from David Bowie) this tells us the story of a young lad who won’t do what he’s told. Maybe his grandfather ought to have shut the gate, so that “Peter” couldn’t sneak out while he was napping, but he didn’t so out into t…

## **Updated Review for *Gen V* (2023) – Following Season 2** **Updated Score: 10/10 – A Perfect, Unifying Masterpiece** My original 8/10 review for *Gen V* was based on the brilliant, unhinged promise of its first season. Having now witnessed the completion of **Season 2, the show has not only fulfilled that promise but has exploded it into something greater, earning a flawless score.** This season accomplishes the rare feat of elevating its own narrative while seamlessly weaving itself into the fabric of its parent series, culminating in one of the most **satisfying, forward-thinking, …

This was everything I wanted the first one to be. Doc. Samson. I have talked ill of mid-film song and dance performances. This exquisite morsel of a film won me over. My 16 year old satanist self was losing his little mind in there. Not even a film. But this bit is. Certainly not the awkward, clunky garbage bits we have to deal with as we get close to Maiden. King Jim and his gang is a good idea. Lots of cool things to spitball around the table. Hard to execute. But less speeches and more slicey dicey zombie time. I'm not buying what he's selling, apparently they aren't either so.…
