A ★★★½ review of Sky Riders (1976) There's probably not enough actual sky riding in Sky Riders for it to fully earn the name Sky Riders, but I for one enjoyed Sky Riders despite the lack of expected sky riding. I don't know what the fu...

A ★★★ review of Satan's Triangle (1975) These 70s TV movies / ABC Movies of the Week are just such easily enjoyable viewing, I could happily just sit and watch them all day. They used to be a regular staple in the afternoons in network TV w...

A ★★★½ review of Prime Evil (1988) Now, technically speaking, Roberta Findlay is not a good filmmaker at all. But a fine purveyor of absolutely deranged shit she is too. For a while I didn't really understand what was going on with Pri...

A ★★★★ review of The Blue Trail (2025) As much as I bemoaned attending undertone as a largely blind watch, then I go and see something like The Blue Trail and realise why I do this in the first place. I'm all for more films about old peopl...

A ★ review of undertone (2025) I'm as absolutely livid that I spent actual money on this Catholic propaganda, pro-life bullshit as I am genuinely surprised that undertone isn't being called out more for that. Still, fair play to Ia...

Really surprised more people aren't calling out Undertone for the anti-abortion shit that it is.

A ★★★ review of Metamorphosis: The Alien Factor (1990) Probably about 15 minutes too long and really held up by too many scenes of people prattling on in the first half, Metamorphosis really takes off in its second half. Its fun practical effects really c...

A ★★★½ review of Day of the Animals (1977) I mistakenly put on a RiffTrax upload of this on YouTube and, after about 5 minutes, came to the conclusion I'd rather drink bleach than listen to any more of that. I don't know how you lot do it. The...

A ★★½ review of The Killer That Stalked New York (1950) Almost inevitably compares unfavourably to Panic in the Streets, lacking as it does Elia Kazan's ability to balance the crime / disaster movie elements. The cast is really good but they're lumbered wi...

Just realised I've been attaching my film reviews to my On Cinema thread. Thankfully nobody else appears to have noticed.

A ★★★½ review of Sudden Death (1995) Previous review Yeah, I'd always marked this down as one of the very few Peter Hyams films that just weren't very good but I really enjoyed it this time round, on the third or fourth go I've had at it...

A ★★★½ review of The House Bunny (2008) Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed The House Bunny very much, but how much funnier would it have been if they'd given Carrie-Mae many, many more lines? Idahoooooo. Anna Faris is great though, isn't she. I ...

A ★★★★½ review of Akira (1988) Previous review I didn't realise Akira was getting such a huge re-release, I just thought it was a few screenings here and there. Amazing to see this on a big screen. Just every bit the thrilling expe...

A ★★ review of Sudden Death (1977) Starts off with a bang, ends on an incredible downbeat note - it's just pretty much everything in-between. Not enough action, too much uninvolving story, and even the action that is here is really qui...

A ★★★★★ review of The Battle of Chile: Part I (1975) I'm not sure exactly how to review this, considering that there are two more parts to come and this is only part of the story that Patricio Guzmán wanted to tell. Extraordinarily, The Battle of Chile:...

A ★★ review of Mirage (1990) Another one that the Letterboxd cult film hivemind coaxed me into watching only for it to turn out to be shite. Mirage doesn't have much going for it aside from enjoyable gore and making pretty decent...

A ★★★★ review of Magic Crystal (1986) At some point, having watched rather a lot of Hong Kong cinema, I'd expect to have seen just about every oddity a human brain can put on a screen. Then I watch a film like Magic Crystal and that expec...

A ★★★★ review of The Nasty Girl (1990) There were various points during The Nasty Girl where I wondered if it was the right decision to make it so humorous in so many places. And I thought I still wasn't sure when it was over but after com...

A ★★★★½ review of The 3rd Annual Live 'On Cinema' Oscar Special (2015) Previous reviews Tim Heidecker is so genuinely terrifying during his many rageaholic moments but if he worked with a professional crew and hadn't been stabbed in the back by Gregg Turkington then we w...

Lee Cronin's The Mummy is going to be 133 minutes of jump scares, isn't it. And that's why it can fuck right off.

A ★★★½ review of Highway to Hell (1991) I wonder how good this could have been if it didn't have Chad fucking Lowe in the lead. I mean, ffs, could you possibly have landed anyone blander. Even so, a lot of fun. I wasn't nearly as invested i...

A ★★½ review of Air Doll (2009) I'm just really cynical about Hirokazu Kore-eda and what he brings to the table. There's something insufferably smug about his particular brand of miserablism that really bugs me to my core. Air Doll ...

A ★★★½ review of Revenge! (1971) You wouldn't expect any less of Shelley Winters than her absolutely going for it as a mad old woman who chains up Bradford Dillman in her cellar and chastises him for saying "hell". A lot of fun, this...

A ★★★★ review of Hollywood Boulevard (1976) I just love Joe Dante so much, I've realised recently he's one of my absolute favourite directors. He's almost always able to find that fine line between smart and stupid with his films. A juvenile se...

A ★½ review of All You Need Is Death (2023) One of these days Olwen Fouéré is going to do a role that isn't 'scary old woman' and she's going to be amazing at it and we're all going to say, "Imagine if she didn't just play a scary old woman all...
