Once upon a time, Daniel Craig said he'd probably rather slash his wrists than reprise the role of Bond, and that if he did reprise the role it would be purely for the monetary benefit. But that was six years ago. The guy was probably fresh off filming a Bond film and tired of the... Continue Reading →
Halloween 6 is the most non-committal film in the franchise, despite introducing one of the wackiest plot elements of the original continuity. It's a curious title because the whole thing reeks of desperation - clearly a product that is trying very hard to be successful and unique from it's predecessors, while simultaneously not really doing...

After being shot down and buried within a deep pit in the previous film, Michael Myers escapes by crawling through a tunnel and floating down a river before being presumed dead for a year after nobody bothered to look for his body and confirm his demise.

In 2019 Martin Scorsese said to Empire Magazine that he doesn't go to see Marvel movies and thus doesn't go to see them. But the way in which he phrased this - "I tried, you know. But that's not cinema" - proved to be one of the most controversial things said within the mainstream movie... Continue Reading →
The Phantom Menace is a movie that has long held many different positions in my heart. As a kid I loved it, as a teenager I hated it and as an adult I thought it was so bad it was good. Then, just the other day, about two-three years since my last viewing, I got... Continue Reading →
