A ★★★½ review of Undertow (2009) June Pride Month It is not often that you get to see a movie from Peru let alone one that was its nomination for best international feature back in 2010 and happens to be about a doomed gay affair. It...

A tender love story from Peru set in a remote fishing village takes us in an unusual direction in the second half #Undertow #PrideMonth

A ★★★★ review of The Ballad of Wallis Island (2025) This is exactly the type of movie that us Brits seem to know just how to play it.  Sentimental but not too slushy, heartfelt characters that you get to know and love and a setting that adds as much ch...

A wonderful cast comes together to offer a movie full of laughs, music and a warm glow of loveliness #TheBalladOfWallisIsland

A ★★★ review of Layla (2024) June Pride Month Layla lets us into a world of drag and a community of people from all worlds of gender types who just want to be themselves.  Layla appears non binary and spends more time dressed as ...

Step into the complicated world of Layla who is simply searching for love #Layla #PrideMonth

A ★★ review of Clown in a Cornfield (2025) There have been a lot of movies that feature a terrifying clown as the evil one.  IT and Terrifier easily spring to mind.  Clown in a Cornfield introduces us to a new scary clown and it is safe to say...

Frendo is no Art The Clown in this disappointing horror movie #ClownInACornfield

A ★★ review of According to Otto (2025) June Pride Month Made to an obvious tight budget this comedy feature from Australia gives a very light hearted and often daft look at a 16 year old lad coming out for the first time and sharing with u...

A ★★★½ review of Queer (2024) June Pride Month Putting Guadagnino and Burroughs together was always going to be an intoxicating viewing experience especially in a novel about queerness set in the 1950’s.  It’s never easy adapting ...

An intoxicating mix of William S Burroughs and Luca Guadagnino brings us Daniel Craig in a fantastic 50’s bonkers queerness #Queer

A ★★★ review of Floating Skyscrapers (2013) Alleging to be one of the first LGBT films to come out of Poland and yet this was only in 2013 so its no surprise that they go for a movie that shines little light on the joys of being gay in a repres...

Watched as part of my #PrideMonth viewing this is a 2013 movie from Poland highlighting the struggles of two men who fall in love #FloatingSkyscrapers

A ★★★★ review of Final Destination Bloodlines (2025) For 11 years from 2000 to 2011 The Final Destination franchise reigned supreme in its comedy horror genre.  Each movie trying to out do each other with an elaborate kill sequence.  Now apparently we a...

A ★★½ review of The Alto Knights (2025) Robert DeNiro, Nicholas Pileggi, Irwin Winkler, Barry Levinson and Dante Spinotti.  It sounds too good to be true, Actor, Writer, Producer, Director and Cinematographer of so much good stuff.  Like ge...

Two DeNiros for the price of one cannot save this drab mob movie #TheAltoKnights

A ★★★½ review of Mickey 17 (2025) The latest from Bong Joon Ho is a far cry from the more intimate Parasite.  Here we go full on sci-if with alien creatures and multiple Robert Pattinsons. It’s an enjoyable romp of a movie with Robert...

Multiple Robert Pattinson having a lot of fun in this original slice of sci-fi from Bong Joon Ho #Mickey17

A ★★½ review of Last Breath (2025) The main problem of this movie is that it has already been made, by the same director, as a documentary instead 2019.  It is a gripping, tense and remarkable documentary.  Here the same director turns...

boxd.it/9euZ3X

The dramatic retelling of the remarkable 2019 documentary of the same name is never quite as impactful #LastBreath

A ★★★ review of Opus (2025) Opus seems to have been a little hard done by with a lot of the reviews whereby many have really slated it.  Never one to be put off by reviews I was quite intrigued by it.  I mean it’s a bit of mess ...

If you want to see John Malkovich as a bonkers reclusive pop star living within a cult this is the movie for you #Opus

A ★★★½ review of Black Bag (2025) Steven Soderbergh it seems retired from making movies years ago then decided against it.  Since then he cannot stop churning out movies of varying genres but thankfully always worth watching. This is ...

A ★★★ review of Marching Powder (2025) Danny Dyer and Nick Love should tell you exactly what to expect from this throwback movie to football hooligans mixed in with a rom com.  We are not getting anything serious here.  This is no Guy Rich...

Danny Dyer returns to the big screen for Nick Love in a throwback movie full of coke and football fighting #MarchingPowder

A ★★★ review of The Monkey (2025) The saving grace for this movie is that the director Osgood Perkins realised that the initial script of this movie was way too serious and he could only do this if he injected some humour into it and ...

The latest horror movie featuring an evil toy is a surprisingly gory bloody fun film #TheMonkey

A ★★★½ review of The Last Showgirl (2024) One thing is for sure this awards campaign and that is that Angelina Jolie and Pamela Anderson were robbed of Oscar nominations.  Pamela Anderson has shown here what a fabulous actor she is and hopefu...

A ★★½ review of The Six Triple Eight (2024) And so in my annual quest to watch every movie nominated for an Oscar we reach that inevitable movie.  The one whose sole nomination is the annual desperation of a Diane Warren song in her personal qu...
