"This is a very good film. It may well be one of the most underseen and underappreciated of the last five years."

"Gere's medieval Andrew Tate is repulsive and that's a problem when we're expected to swoon over him apparently. This remains one of the worst studio releases of the 1990s."

"... It's a historical political thriller that tries to push itself into the shape of a neo-noir whilst using both JAWS and THE OMEN as actual symbolic pillars. That's a hard film to not give yourself over to."

"It depresses me mightily that I've been trying to get my kids to watch this for years and they'd refused, only for me to frustratingly use Jack Black's MINECRAFT / SUPER MARIO / JUMANJI cache as a gateway... And, of course, now they adore this."

"... Eventually it all becomes interminable and whatever minor, cheesy fun this possessed is kicked out of it. And there's nothing Madison Iseman's beautiful eyes and gorgeous smile can do to save it."

"... It's a knock-off of my beloved JUDGMENT NIGHT that, in its execution, reminds you how genuinely terrific that film is as a 'one crazy night' b-movie - it may in fact be one of the best."

"To say that it pre-dates but is bettered by the terrific 1987 film THE STEPFATHER would constitute a spoiler, somewhat."

A ★★★★ review of #SKYKING (2026) Anyone who's followed my 'written warblings' for a time or read my book 'The Yippee Ki-Yay Principle' would know that I'm passionate advocate for mental health support - ESPECIALLY amongst men. So it'...

"... It's without an ounce of exaggeration that I say watching this broke my heart. It truly did. There were a lot of things put out through archival audio that made me feel like I was listening to myself from a decade or so ago."

This "would be more admirable and tolerable if it were the directorial debut of some young, raw, over-earnest type fresh out of film-school. But it's not. It's the sixteenth film from legendary / pilloried director Elia Kazan..."

"It amazes me, given the death of 'Late Night', that we've not seen the completion of some sort of trilogy - Stephen Merchant as Conan O'Brien in part two, John Mulaney as Stephen Colbert and Seth Rogen as Jimmy Kimmel in part three..."

"Is the Internet's suggestion this is all a 'death dream' legit? Repeat viewings suggest it could be. But that would be to dilute the sugary feelgood aspect of it all! It's certainly the best blockbuster of the last 10 years!"
