Electric State (2025)

fenrisfil — Thu, 03 Apr 2025 19:30:44 +0000

Today I am reviewing the huge £320m budget “Electric State” movie from the Russo brothers on Netflix. It’s worth noting as these Netflix movies usually go straight to streaming or just have a limited release. That means they don’t need to spend the extra 50% of the production costs for P&A. This may explain why …

The Gorge (2025)

fenrisfil — Tue, 18 Mar 2025 20:28:14 +0000

“The Gorge” comes to us from Skydance and Apple TV and is from horror director Scott Derrickson and action movie writer Zach Dean. Derrickson has a strong pedigree in horror with films such as “The Black Phone”, “The Exorcism of Emily Rose” and “Sinister” to his name. He also did pretty well with the first …

Mickey 17 (2025)

fenrisfil — Tue, 11 Mar 2025 18:00:00 +0000

“Mickey 17” is the latest movie from writer/director Bong Joon-Ho. It is his first feature as sole writer, though the movie is an adaption of the novel “Mickey 7” by Edward Ashton. According to Ashton the director made a lot of changes to the source material and those changes are not hard to figure out. …

Head to Head: Wolf Man (2025) & The Beast Within (2024)

fenrisfil — Thu, 23 Jan 2025 16:02:53 +0000

Today I have a Werewolf double bill for you, checking out the just released “Wolf Man” from Universal/Blumhouse and “The Beast Within”, an independent release, directed by Alexander J. Farrell, from last year. I’m going to put these two wolves head to head. These movies are pretty similar so it makes sense to make a …

Nosferatu (2024)

fenrisfil — Mon, 06 Jan 2025 13:42:20 +0000

Since Robert Eggers latest movie “Nosferatu” was released in the UK January 1st 2025, for me it is the first movie of this year. To many of my readers though it will have been the last movie of 2024 since it arrived Christmas day for the US and a few other territories. Sadly that means …

Megalopolis (2024)

fenrisfil — Tue, 10 Dec 2024 13:28:55 +0000

So another movie I didn’t intend to write about this year is Francis Ford Coppola’s passion project “Megalopolis”. There was so little interest in this movie that even a 1 in 3 walkout rate barely got the attention of the media and many critics skipped reviewing the film because they really couldn’t figure out what …

Review Roundup – December 2024

fenrisfil — Thu, 05 Dec 2024 17:29:54 +0000

It’s been a while since I did a review roundup. But I’m back with three movies from this year to check out. These are basically family/kids movies. Seems appropriate for the holiday. All three of these movies will entertain kids and may entertain adults too. First up we have that other Ryan Reynolds movie that …

Saturday Night (2024)

fenrisfil — Tue, 26 Nov 2024 21:05:55 +0000

This is a Docudrama retelling of the hours leading up to the debut of the comedy series Saturday Night Live. This is a show due to hit it’s 50th anniversary next year and has become an established path for comedians to break into the movie industry. Less so in recent years, where frankly it’s reputation …

Gladiator II (2024)

fenrisfil — Thu, 21 Nov 2024 14:04:11 +0000

Somewhere near the top of the list of sequels I never expected to see is Gladiator II. But Ridley Scott making a return to the Roman Colosseum was also something I wasn’t going to miss, so here we are. The unexpected sequel see’s Scott return as director but this time around the story is by …
