One Mann's Movies Film Review of "Hallow Road".A clever mind-fuck of a film that provokes debate! 4/5.
Presence (15): A Ghost-Eye-View of a Slowly Fragmenting Family.
One Mann's Movies FIlm Review of "Presence". 'BE' the ghost in Stephen Soderburgh's clever (if not wholly successful) spooky experiment. 3/5.
A One Mann’s Movies review of “Presence” (2025). “Presence” – no, not a Christmas film (LOL!) This is the latest film from the prolific stable of Steven Soderbergh and it’s a creepy, rather than scary, ghost story with a twist. Bob the Movie Man Rating: “Presence” Plot Summary: A spirit roams the empty rooms of a suburban house watching as the Sullivan family move into it. Most seem oblivious…
Blue Beetle (12A):
#onemannsmovies #filmreview of Blue Beetle. #bluebeetle. Starts really well Goes downhill. But still better DC than most. 3.5/5.
A One Mann’s Movies review of “Blue Beetle” (2023). In my BBC Radio Solent film review slot with Lucy Ambache I dismissed this with a “who needs another superhero movie” comment. But at the start of this one, I was wondering if I’d need to eat my words, since it did deliver something a bit different. Bob the Movie Man Rating: Plot Summary: Jaime Reyes (Xolo Maridueña) returns from a US…

Out of Blue (15): Strangely Unsettling Murder Mystery from Carol Morley.
#onemannsmovies review of "Out of Blue" (2018). Intriguing, stylish crime film that is less about the murder and more about the cop. 4/5.
A One Mann’s Movies review of “Out of Blue” (2018). My thanks to my #flickeringdreams colleague the Reverend Andy Godfrey for putting me onto this one. He saw “Out of Blue” at a BFI retrospective season of the work of director Carol Morley and likened it to the recent “To Catch a Killer” that I enjoyed. Actually, although I’m not sure the parallels with the recent Sky movie are that strong,…

Love Again (12): A Rom-Com but without the Com.
#onemannsmovies review of "Love Again" (2023). #loveagainmovie. No laughs in this slightly bonkers Céline Dion rom-com. 2/5.
A One Mann’s Movies review of “Love Again” (2023). I’m late to the game on this rom-com, but I went in with the words of my “Flickering Dreams” podcast colleague Andy Godfrey ringing in my ears. He had declared it the “worst film of the year so far” and had an entertaining rant about it! (Watch it here … it’s entertaining!) While I agree the film is pretty poor, I don’t think it’s QUITE that…
