WATCH NOW Admittedly, the statement might sound Luddite-ish in rubrics of HDTV, Blu-Ray, and Dolby 23:1 surround sound systems, but there is something about watching a movie where you can see the impact of time on each frame that is exceptionally refreshing. A movie that has not been remastered, double-dipped, or has received any significant […]

WATCH NOW Now that the multi-venue ImagineAsia festival has started and the Satyajit Ray retrospective has opened at London’s National Film Theatre, this week promises to have loads of South Asian movies and this film, by first feature director Asif Kapadia, is an excellent way to make use of the moment. The Warrior is the
WATCH NOW As I embark again in the realm of “Bruceploitation,” I grapple with this somewhat thorny question. In which of Bruce Lee’s films can we confidently say were produced well in the traditional sense? More often than not, we are left with rather mediocre productions after removing his charisma as well as his mind-blowing

WATCH NOW This is not at all in the spirit of Roger Corman’s creature features or the equally “so bad, they’re good” features from Asylum or SyFy.

The one-off social media posts, the chatter in the background that is positive. At times, it is for the expected nation-wide releases, while other times, those rumblings are for the
WATCH NOW QUICK CUT: The comic book artist is not satisfied with how a television adaptation of his creation is going so he tries to fix that himself. Goody – She is the ringleader of a gang that is causing chaos in Ridgway. Goody is in charge and she doesn’t care for people. She will

WATCH NOW Robowoman is one of the most poorly received films ever. Infact, it was awarded Least Like the Poster at the 2021 film awards. It almost seemed as though a child had put it together considering it was a low budget movie – like all the other films from the same production. The only

WATCH NOW Dexter Fletcher’s Rocketman is arguably the most accurate biopic about Elton John. This film was directed by Dexter Fletcher, written by Lee Hall, and produced by David Furnish, with the executive production done by John himself. The TV advertisement at Christmas by John Lewis is another thing that Rocketman had to contend with,
