Ladies First - Review
Like most humans of a certain age group and lifestyle (I’m deliberately excluding Prime-swigging, reel-spamming Gen-Z piss weasels and people who live in caves, although I’m certain neither group read this blog), I have something of a love-hate relationship with the internet. On the one hand it’s a great enabler of modern life, but on the other hand it gives voice to people that frankly are in…
Apex - Review
I’m a man of numerous hobbies, as you know – I mean I’m sure that I’d be writing a heck of a lot more if I stopped buying Warhammer miniatures or drinking myself silly in Red Dead Redemption 2 (or indeed real life) – and as such am always keen to indulge any film that features some form of outdoor sport. Imagine my joy, therefore, when watching Netflix’s survival thriller Apex shortly after its…
The Long Walk - Review
There was a time not so long ago where the concept of a dystopian future setting was something of morbid awe and fascination, but since we as a species collectively decided to break the planet, worship the rich and begin romantic courtship with computer programmes, these settings are becoming less fascinating and rather an increasingly depressing possibility. It’s in one such setting that we are…
Manhunter - Review
Doesn’t look like I can put this one off for much longer, can I? What with holidays, work, family visiting, the council’s new bin collection day and that odd scuff mark on the kitchen counter that simply refuses to shift, it’s been a strong minute since I’ve managed to get myself to the cinema or even watch anything new. Alien: Earth is promising, but that’s still ongoing, and I’m not in the…
Weapons - Review
Scheduling isn’t a huge issue for me, as a rule. I tend to hit the cinema on a Monday evening, partially because of discounted tickets and partly because I like to have at least one evening a week that doesn’t involve self-doubt and drinking. This usually means that the publication of the review usually doesn’t happen until the weekend, and this is almost entirely down to procrastination.…
The Naked Gun - Review
Like a James Patterson novel in a charity shop, I found myself torn. I’m always crying foul when it comes to reboots/remakes/unnecessary continuations of beloved franchises that nobody asked for (delete where appropriate), and as a shameless enjoyer of the utterly unhinged absurdity that constitutes the comedic works of the Zucker brothers, I was more than a little miffed when I found out that…
Sisu - Review
We live in a world of contrasts; to the Ying there is the Yang, to the chalk there is the cheese, and in a cinematic sense, to Superman must come Sisu. That was purely for the purposes of alliteration, there’s not really much to compare or indeed contrast the two, given that the subject matter could not be more different. Sisu has been on my list for a while, but it flew somewhat under the radar…
Superman - Review
Since superhero movies are now so firmly cemented in the cinematic zeitgeist, the question of tone has been one that’s hung around for some time. Well, for some at least; Marvel seem perfectly happy to flit between sincere stalwart drama and Whedon-esque quipping with such formulaic frequency that it’s a novelty when one goes all one way or the other (see Logan or Deadpool for those particular…
Jurassic World Rebirth - Review
Whilst I’m by no means a complete expert in the sphere films (I mean this blog isn’t called High Horse Cinema for no reason), I’ve been plugging away as both a viewer and critic of them for some years now, and as such have developed a sense for early warning signs that a film is going to be a right arse. One of those warning signs is the presence of Ed Skrein, and whilst there are plenty worse…
28 Years Later - Review
Look, I don’t want to hear it – I know perfectly well that it’s been three weeks since my last post; what can I say, life gets in the way. Certain factors made it almost impossible to sit down and put pen to paper for my weekly output. Things were getting so desperate that at one point I was seriously considering putting out several hundred words on why people should watch Seinfeld, but…
Downsizing - Review
I have a funny relationship with research when it comes to selecting a film to either review or watch for my own amusement. I’ve said many times that I try to avoid watching trailers as much as possible, partly because sometimes I like to go into a film knowing as little as possible and partly because I got burned by the masterfully made Man Of Steel trailer back in 2013 and I’ve never been the…
Dick Dynamite: 1944 - Review
It’s a stinker alright – if you’re one of the handful of poor sods who had even heard of Dick Dynamite: 1944 prior to this review, you’d know that already, and if you hadn’t then even the most cursory Google search would tell you what you need to know. So ultimately I do myself, and the world at large, no favours by doing what any man and/or his dog would do when confronted with this horrific…
Havoc - Review
It’s a commonly used adage in show business that you’re only ever as good as your last performance. Certainly something that holds true if Sam Worthington’s career is any evidence, but there is something of an exception to this when it comes to directors, whereupon the phrase should probably change to ‘you’re only as good as that one thing you made that is universally applauded and you can dine…
Fitzcarraldo - Review
Oh now this really is leaning into the slighlty more snobbish end of things. I promise this isn’t me showing my true colours and that I’m not really the larval form of a stuck-up film afficionado with no time for the mainstream, but after spending last week complaining about how I think Star Wars is shit and that if you like it then I’m better than you or something, I’m hardly in a position to…
Recovering Star Wars Veteran - An Opinion Piece
In the words of either Dr Samuel Johnson, Alexander Pope or, in his sinfully singular on-screen depiction, Dr Stephen Maturin, “he who would pun would pick a pocket”. An old and perhaps incorrect addage at the best of times, but upon looking up at my calendar, seeing the date and remembering that, on the basis of the phrase ‘May the fourth be with you’, Star Wars Day has now forced pushed it’s…
Drop - Review
As any frequent cinema-goer or movie lover will tell you, we as a species tend to stick with our favourites. Quite often the presence of Henry Cavill in front of the camera or Guy Ritchie behind it is enough to draw me in regardless of context or setting, but it’s always fun to establish a viewing pattern accidentally. It was whilst researching Sinners last week that I realized that I’d seen…
Sinners - Review
As one of the more insufferable movie-loving types who can’t seem to shut the fuck up about them at parties, I’m always overjoyed when a film turns out to be about something more than it’s original marketing pitch, like how O Brother, Where Art Thou? is, at the outset, a whimsical Coen brothers caper, but it’s actually about Homer’s Odyssey, or how Pompeii is a historical epic set during the…
