‘When it comes to expanding on Fury Road’s world-building, Furiosa is a great companion piece. As a movie on its own, while having some genuinely exciting and creative action scenes, it’s a bit too long and bloated for its own good. Definitely another good one from George Miller, it just doesn’t reach Fury Road’s heights.’ […]

Oh, Alex Garland…you subversive lil scamp, you! I’ve kept my eye on this writer-turned-director’s work going back to his terrific debut novel, 1996’s The Beach (I also unapologetically appreciate Danny Boyle’s 2000 adaptation of the same name). From there, he transitioned to screenwriting, starting with 28 Days Later (2002), and following with 2007’s under-appreciated Sunshine. […]

I was introduced to the films of Finnish export director Renny Harlin back in 1988, when I was a highly impressionable lad of 11 and I first laid eyes on A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master, which would go on to be (and admittedly still is) my favorite entry in my favorite […]

This is one of those rare Blu rays that I had come across in my travels and scored (most likely at a Value Village), simply based on what I knew of its reputation. That was about two years ago. Since then, this title has been leering up at me ever I delve into the ‘P’ […]

I distinctly remember the first time I came across the name ‘David Fincher’. It was early in 1992 and the first one-sheet for Alien 3 had turned up outside one of the local theatres in the small sea-side town I grew up in. Counting its predecessor, 1986’s Aliens, as my favorite movie ever (and to […]

Gareth Edwards. By now, many movie geeks the world over are familiar with this writer / director’s name, even if it’s just by virtue of having gifted us with the ONLY Disney era Star Wars film that has ANYTHING resembling redeeming qualities. Personally, I REALLY enjoyed 2016’s Rogue One and think it deserves to stand […]

For anyone familiar with the science fiction offerings of the 80’s and 90’s, the name Phil Tippett should not be unknown. The man is a giant within the special effects community and has contributed many notable and classic effects sequences, going all the way back to the original Star Wars – A New Hope (1977). […]
