House Of The Long Shadows: Attempting Welsh Accents

Summary, a manor house in Wales sees some horrific goings on. It was nice to see this love letter to Hammer, however it did waste the talents of the returning cast of legends. None of them were starring or given all that much to do. The slasher aspect had appeal, as seeing Peter Cushing, Vincent Price and Christopher Lee together in a slasher film is a new concept for the three.

Scarlet: Even The Afterlife Can Appreciate J Pop

A Princess from long ago has her quest for vengeance interrupted by a medic from the modem era. This wasn't a perfect film by any means there was clear tonal issues and a mismatch in some scenes where the film felt a bit confused, however, it was still far better than anything western animation has put out in years. This is centrally a two fold issue, firstly Scarlet looks a hell of a lot better than things like Hoppers,…

Project Hail Mary: Grogu 2.0

A school teacher helps his government and then is drugged and forcibly sent on a suicide mission. This was a flawed film, in that it could comfortably have been 2 hours, there was no need for it to be as long as it was and a hell of a lot of it was filler scenes. Rocky is easily the heart of the film and all of the scenes with him make the film, including the emotional payoffs.

How To Make A Killing: The Most Generic Film Of 2026

Summary, a man decides to kill off his relatives to inherit some money. Incredibly generic would be the best way to describe this, this fable of where chasing wealth gets you is one you have seen about 1000 times before and many times done better than here. Almost every single character in this film is intensely dislikeable, if you're supposed to root for Powell's everyman that would be news to us.

The Secret Agent: The Most Interesting Academic Ever

Summary, after becoming on a corrupt government minister's hit list. A university professor must go into hiding. The biggest compliment for this film is the tone, it could have been a lot bleaker than it was. Whilst it wasn't happy go lucky, it did manage to balance the grit with a more optimistic tone of displaced people creating a community. …

Cinema Issues: The Oscar Fate Of Sinners

The film got 4/16 nominations, many of which were undeserved. Cinematography, original screenplay and best actor should not have been given to it. After the smear campaign against Timothy Chalamet the ground was being set for the upset and for Jordan's win but he didn't deserve it. Playing two characters which are the same as the character he plays in everything else doesn't mean he deserves the award over people like Ethan…

Cinema Issues: Paramount Wins

In today's edition of cinema issues we talk about the fact that at the moment of writing it seems as though Paramount is going to win in it's bid for WBD. Ultimately there was always a chance of this as the current American administration favours them, and could have made things very difficult for Netflix at the regulatory stage. There are some people who are saying that this is a win for cinemas, as Netflix would have led to them closing…

The Testament Of Ann Lee: Shaking Your Way To The Lord

Summary, Ann Lee, Amanda Seyfried, believes herself to be the female reincarnation of the Messiah during the period of the Great Awakening. This film will be divisive, it was an art film in the truest sense, it is pretentious and it likes symbolism. That will put people off. It is a musical about a very depressing subject matter, and has uncomfortable sexual moments throughout, this will put off people.

The Bride: The Most Brutal Curb Stop Since American History X

Summary, a new take on the Bride of Frankenstein. It seems no matter where you go people didn't like this film, to some it is too feminist, to others the Bride is unlikeable etc. Regardless, this film was an enjoyable take on the character. Jessie Buckley's manic monologues were a bad choice for sure, but her character wasn't unlikeable or too feminist as others say.

Missing Child Video Tape: A Mountain of Madness

Summary, after his brother went missing many years ago at the summit of a mysterious mountain a Japanese man and his roommate go on a journey to try and find him. As far as ghost stories go this was quite effective, there were a number of twists and turns wherein your expectations are subverted, for example there was a time when it appeared as though the lead had killed his brother.
