80/100
Our 4 heroes must save the world from a being that eats planets. This was a really fun and nostalgic entry in the MCU lexicon. Taking place in the 60s in a different universe, it perfectly blends the 60s feel and aesthetics with advanced technology. The family dynamics were nicely presented with depth, heart and humor. The action is top notch and the special effects were awe inspiring in scale. Galactus made a great omnipotent being and the Silver Surfer was also very well portrayed. We've waited far too long for a good F4 movie and I'm so glad to finally see it. -- DrNostromo.com…

As much as I like the work of Xavier Dolan, this film was very disappointing. It was predictable, dull, and just not showing anything new or creative. I look forward to his next fantastic film.…

There’s a lovely scene towards the end of this film where the young “Shula” is secreted inside what looks like a papier-mâché prop from “Five Nights at Freddy’s” where the tourists approach her to discover she is a witch! That rather sums up the approach taken to this eight year old girl by a Zambian society that can’t quite decide whether she is to be burned at the stake or to be commercially exploited by the state. Her predicament all starts when she is tried for witchcraft in a rural court and sentenced to be sent to a camp populated by loads of other witches. Rather than bars and fences, t…

Set amidst the beautiful scenery of the Himalayan mountains, the teenage “Mira” (Preeti Panigrahi) is having to reconcile her quite traditional relationship with her mum (Kani Kasruti) with her own desires as a soon-to-be independent woman who is also the apple of the eye of the young “Sri” (Kesav Binoy Kiron). He spends quite a lot of time at their home and although her mother is friendly and civil, you get the distinct feeling that she has reservations borne out of her own experience of youth where she was never really given the opportunities that now await her daughter. That’s really the gi…

“Tom” (Sam Reilly) is the stereotypical handsome tennis coach who spends his time at his Spanish resort teaching the well-heeled children of the tourists during the day and then boozing and womanising of the evening. Then he is asked to teach “Anton” (Dylan Torrell) by his mum “Anne” (Stacy Martin) and then introduced to her husband “Dave” (Jack Farthing) who seem inclined to befriend him. They dine with him and even take him on a tour of the island with them, before “Dave” goes awol. When she reports this matter to the police, they immediately begin to suspect that there is more to the relati…

For those of us of a certain age, Fanny Craddock was an household name who seemed to polarise opinion in Britain as she emerged as the country’s first television chef. She (Julia Davis) was famed, along with her husband Johnnie (Mark Gatiss) and this attempts to take us through a chronology of her rise and fall. Right from the outset, though, this struggles to deliver. Though Davis herself delivers quite a solid performance, it doesn’t really bear much resemblance to the actual woman herself - and there is plenty of televised evidence that this is more of a dramatisation based around her caree…

Another dumb woke movie which has diversity, climate change and anti-white propaganda. Screw this garbage.…

Venezuelans hire Parker, the coolest American in the world, to commit the most horrific terror act on NYC since Hell up in Harlem. How many killed by that crash? Explosions, building fires, random people on the street, one liners. How can we like these people? …and the movie casually begins again from there, our lovable terrorists celebrating in the Christmas spirit.
This movie sucks. It is boring but the train shit…so weird. Confounding. Absent. The nonchalant way he kills a waiter but everyone accepts and wants him. He kills her? Then is indignant, ‘you better not let her down,’ to the gu…

I walked in at 44 minutes. The last hour and 45 has less whinging in accents. Bad Lighthouse. Swearengen in Wick 4.
I went to a restaurant and they were playing this as though it was a serious movie. One could not pass through the projector beam. I could see my hair in the letterbox. I'm glad I didn't see this all in the theatre. I watched the beginning later to see what I missed and I was not pleased.
Mia Goth touching his wound. Nice. Hoped for more from that treasure trove. Forest Spirit learns to read. Nice. Victor tries too hard in character and on screen. Fr-long-bullshit-stein.…

**_Artsy but tedious road flick in the Southwest_**
Written by Sam Shepard and shot in late 1983, this meshes elements of Coppola’s “The Rain People” with Paul Schrader’s “Hardcore” and a little “The Last Picture Show.” While it generally failed at the box office, it has since garnered an impressive following and is highly rated on the internet.
For me, it’s the least of those movies. Sure, it’s well made and artistic with creatively communicated messages, such as Travis’ meeting the “screaming man” on the long bridge, which represents what he himself went through before going mu…
