Movie Review – The Fireman’s Ball
Minutes after being left to die in a burning house, The Shape (aka Michael Myers), escapes and returns to the streets of Haddonfield where a war rages on between the town’s furious residents and this one-man killing machine. Taking on an entirely different storytelling approach to the 2018 film, this second (or technically third) chapter […]

Film Review: Land (dir by Robin Wright)
“Tone” is the triumph of the Welsh thriller “The Feast.” Tone — in its lonely, remote setting, its chilly, unsettling characters and the deeply unpleasant things that transpire — is everything. The Welsh language (with subtitles) tale may take some getting used to, and the finale go absurdly overboard in “explaining” it all. Mystery is […]
Movie Review: Horror’s the main course in the Welsh thriller “The Feast”
“Lokillo,” aka “Lokillo en: Mi Otra Yo” is a Colombian comedy about a sexist TV chat show host forced to dress as a woman and hide out in prison after he crosses a Colombian drug lord. This “Around the World with Netflix” offering is seriously malnourished as comedy. There’s barely a chuckle in it, at […]

Cass is here with a review of the latest Edgar Wright film.
Last Night in Soho is an Overwhelming Experience
I need to show my cards here – I am a huge Edgar Wright fan. I have been ever since I have seen Shaun of the Dead (2004). I have learned a lot about him, mainly the fact, he’s an avid cinephile. I would imagine he’s the only one who comes anywhere near Quentin Tarantino and/or Martin Scorsese regarding the film knowledge, the […]
Last Night in Soho (2021) Review – Definitely Won’t Be My Last Night
“Luzzu” is a simple but gripping drama about a Maltese fisherman facing the end of his generations-long profession in a world of globe-trotting trawlers, international trade and climate change. Its star is a real-life Maltese fisherman, a man so intimately acquainted with his way of life and the desolation of losing it that what we’re […]

Oscars 2022: Best Adapted Screenplay Predictions
With so many films coming out this year, we never know which one is good and which one will disappoint us. In certain cases, it hurts when you anticipate bigger but get less than that. Because the director either fails to convey the message, actors were not in sync, […]
Film Review: “Last Night in Soho” (2021)
The seventies really were, in my opinion, one of the best decades for film. For better or worse it really changed the way films were being made and brought in a new generation of inspiring and challenging filmmakers. It was also a great decade for horror and a lot of my favourite films are from […]
