One of my favourite shorts. The whole combination of acting, direction and cinematography is excellent, with incredibly strong central performances. Highly recommended.…

I think this movie is what a FNAF Movie should be, way better then the first, it really dives into the horror, it’s also a bigger film, the cinematography has dramatically improved, and so many Easter eggs that the diehard fans will catch on, but some you will miss in a blink of an eye. The animatronics were awesome and that is thanks to the Jim Henson Corporation. The voices were very well done as well, if any of you were doubting Megan Fox as Toy Chica, she did well. It sounds like Toy Chica and also made it her own, and MatPat’s voice was very unrecognizable as Toy Bonnie. Kellen Goff was a…

I watched Landman after finishing Yellowstone, 1883, and 1923. I haven't seen the second season yet.
What I want to say is that Landman, like Yellowstone, can be seen as a modern Western.
I really enjoy Sheridan's shows and hope Landman gets at least five seasons.…

Well-written and acted; especially Goode, Pirrie and Manvelov - but seriously, all of the actors were great. Also, a nice blend of humor and dark themes.
My only problem is with the Lyle Jennings angle. Merritt knew Lyle, and even though he would have changed due to age, she would have recognized him. I'm guessing some of us have known someone since we were in grade school or more recently, and were able to recognize them decades later. It's unlikely he would have been able to pass himself off as someone else to her.…

I’ll come right to the point about this one: As it stands now, the latest work from writer-director Ira Sachs is a strong candidate for my worst film of 2025. This is likely to be an unpopular opinion, especially among arthouse aficionados, particularly in light of its (inexplicable) five Independent Spirit Award nominations. However, this easily has to be one of the most overrated releases of the year for a variety of reasons. The film is based on a book of the same name written by author Linda Rosenkrantz, a good friend of the title character, Peter Hujar, a New York art photographer who att…

When production began in 1979 the working title was “Trauma,” but after shooting completed in 1980 it was released in some places as “The House Where Evil Lives” which is superior to its most well-known title, “Delusion” (you’ll know why after seeing the film).
It’s a slow grind psychological thriller and murder mystery that could also be considered a prototype slasher in the tradition of “Psycho,” but not “Halloween” or “Friday the 13th.” The milieu is a wealthy old man’s estate in the Los Angeles area reminiscent of the typi…

Following on from Philippa Gregory’s interpretation of the end of the English Wars of the Roses in “The White Queen” (2013), Michelle Fairley delivers strongly as Lady Margaret Beaufort, the begrudging conduit between the old and the new whilst the erstwhile Queen Elizabeth (Essie Davis) struggles to adapt to her new circumstances. What might save her from total humiliation is a political compromise that will see the two houses of Tudor and York unite. Her daughter “Elizabeth” (Jodie Comer), daughter of Edward IV, is to marry the young Henry VII (Jacob Collins-Levy). Now he isn’t remotely inte…

I must admit to feeling just a little more sorry for “Tom” than usual here as he is constantly being bested by “Jerry” in this wartime-themed comedy. The mouse lives in his cellar, under siege from “Tom” and his fairly hefty supply of dynamite. As ever, though, no matter how superior the armoury against him is, “Jerry” still manages to make sure it explodes in his nemesis’s lap, or under his tail, or between his ears - or even thrusting the poor moggy up into space. It’s end to end stuff with rapid-fire antics from start to finish as the two engage in a battle of wits with flour, some “hen gre…

Love the premise and dug the first 50-minutes or so but really fell off the rest of the way, especially the final 20 minutes. Liked the cast with Walken at his Walkeny best, Dafoe and Argento but the story just didn't come together that well. I know the name Abel Ferrara but this is the first film I've seen of his. That said, I loved his style. Of course, probably not the best film to watch late at night. **2.0/5**…

Boxer “Evgeny” is one of those blokes that you’d eagerly cross the street to avoid. He look every inch the pugilist, and is often covered with cuts and bruises. “Olya”, meantime has legs that go all the way up to her armpits, and is the epitome of the elegant and delicate ballerina. They meet and gradually begin to explore each other’s starkly contrasting worlds. They go to galleries and museums, she to his fights and he even sits through one of her ballets. Despite their differences, they thrive - but can their relationship survive? There is some lovely quirkiness to this sometimes quite brut…
