"EVIL DEAD movies are inherently 'not for everyone' but this was the first that was wholly unlikeable, very close to beyond the pale and - were it not for the now embarrassing 'obligatory' chainsaw appearance - unrecognisable as a franchise entry." boxd.it/gJOT9Z

"GRAVE OF THE FIREFLIES isn’t ‘entertainment’ – it transcends that. It is beauty, it is a visual eulogy, it’s painful and moving and traumatic and, possibly best of all, it is the greatest hymn to a world without war that you could ever wish for." boxd.it/gJlUNj

"Affleck making a Bostonian Ed McBain flick with his best friend and his ex-wife suddenly becomes an AI-assisted whiff with him making an LA set bit of plagiarism starring himself and an overwrought TV actress." boxd.it/gJlEbD

Hannah Fry's out there reiterating her position as "one of the smartest" etc etc and so forth, giving it the big 'uns about her spreadsheets and her mathematical razamataz... then getting decidedly and instantly outboxed on logic by a member of Little Mix! #CelebrityTraitors

"... It is so blatantly a 'Single White Female' to the latter day FAST & FURIOUS franchise and in that regard, given how truly horrendous the last three of them have been, it holds its own as empty-headed, cash-grabbing 'car-nage'." boxd.it/gInKb5

Went in for a rewatch of one of my favourite films of the last decade. Apple had the audacity to buffer and lag so I went "Nope. No. Nah. Absolutely not." and rectified the situation appropriately:

"I regard this as one of the all time great studio potboilers of the 90s, if not of all time. It's an astoundingly well-realised piece of 'swing for the backboards' blockbuster filmmaking that still holds up tremendously." boxd.it/gHg4Xt

"It's a walking testament to the value in taking the 'typical' British film effort, pulling it apart and putting it back together in a different way." boxd.it/gHg0Mh

Growing up, Sunday afternoon repeat viewings of NORTH BY NORTHWEST at a very young age made me believe Eve Marie Saint was the most beautiful woman on the planet. Then my Grandad introduced me to 36 HOURS and GRAND PRIX and I was •in love•! #RIP variety.com/2026/film/ne...

Eva Marie Saint, ‘North by Northwest’ Star, Dies at 102

Oscar-winning actress Eva Marie Saint, who starred in such memorable classic films as “On the Waterfront” and “North by Northwest,” has died.

"The end result is a convoluted mess with flashes of wuxia action that's not of any sort of exceptional / noteworthy standard." boxd.it/gE3vdp

RESIDENT EVIL and HOPE have really provided me with pure, old school cinematic emotional experiences where the ride was so immensely fulfilling that I walked out and immediately started cramping at the bit to watch them again. That's not happened in a long time for me.

It's been a journey. A journey I'm decidedly unhurried in ever wanting / needing to take again...

"... My interest in revisiting it lay in whether it could be enjoyed today as intended - as a 'message movie' for youngsters - without applying historical context. As dangerous a move as that may well be." boxd.it/gBOOAp

"STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS is up there as one of the most incompetent and aggravating blockbusters of the last 20 years." boxd.it/gBOabz

"... The missive was evidently to take the 'brand' and form a more successful marriage between its 'requirements' and a more mainstream blockbuster - and it very much achieves its objective." boxd.it/gBNWfR
