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 …

The 2024 Wrap Up (Part One)

fenrisfil — Mon, 23 Dec 2024 18:03:48 +0000

Well, here we are approaching the end of 2024. That means it is time for my annual wrap up. This year I am covering my top ten movies of the year, along with some honourable mentions. I’m also going to cover some of my favourite documentary and TV shows of the year. Part two will …

Christmas Horror Triple Bill

fenrisfil — Tue, 17 Dec 2024 13:33:17 +0000

I’ve been threatening to review some Christmas horrors for a few years and now is the time. Given horrors obsession with holiday themes it’s not a huge surprise to learn there are an awful lot of Christmas horror films. It’s probably even a less of a surprise that most of them are also awful. There …

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 …

Review Roundup – Film Noir

fenrisfil — Sun, 01 Dec 2024 12:13:19 +0000

November is over, but I have three more Film Noirs I watched this month to review. That means you get another triple bill review round up! These reviews don’t get as many views as the horrors or recent releases, but that’s not why I do them. I do them because Film Noir is great and …

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 …

Human Desire (1954)

fenrisfil — Tue, 19 Nov 2024 16:35:51 +0000

I review a lot less film noir in November than I do horror in October so I have far fewer traditions to revisit. One I do seem to have managed is to squeeze in a movie by one of my favourite directors, Fritz Lang. So this year I’m checking out Lang’s subversive 1954 noir “Human …
