HUNGRY (2026) - Dir James Nunn. From the director of Shark Bait (2022) comes a film with the exact same plot, but this time with 100% less shark and 250% more Hippopotamus. “That looks so shit” Yeah it does. “I bet you gave it five stars, didn’t you” You bet your odd socks I did. boxd.it/gjW8jb

A ★★★★★ review of Hungry (2026)

“What you watchin’?” my wife asks. “Hungry” I reply. “I don’t know that one. What’s it about?” “It’s about a Gator tour that gets attacked and eaten by a Hippo in the gator infested waters of Louisian...

Ms. 45 (1981) - Dir Abel Ferrara. Often dismissed as sleazy rape/revenge grindhouse fodder, Ms. 45’s re-evaluation in recent times is maybe a reflection in changing attitudes, but with reported rape cases on the rise in the UK to record highs (up 4% as of March 2026), maybe not. boxd.it/geBLAN

A ★★★★★ review of Ms .45 (1981)

“Hey ladies.” Two words that seem innocent enough on the surface but have a far seedier undertone. Rarely does anything good come from starting a sentence “Hey ladies”. Brandished with the intent to d...

Getting old sucks. Watching your heroes grow old and pass on sucks even more. Chen Kuan-tai. Legendary Shaw Brorhers actor, his credits read like a greatest hits package of Kung Fu cinema. Rest in peace, you’ve earned the rest (and hopefully Fu Sheng will be waiting for you with a drink).

Post a game you wish they'd reboot/remake 🎮👾 #Gamersky #RetroSky There isn’t a week that goes by when I don’t think about this game. Curse the knobheads that stole it (along with my Saturn). The rail shooters of the franchise are fine and all, but this game, the RPG, this was so very special.

Post a game you wish they'd reboot/remake 🎮👾 Honestly, I just want to play it again — as I periodically do every few years. 😂 #ZakMcKrackenAndTheAlienMindbenders

This echoes a discussion I’ve been having in my head, how making a stand and choosing a side has been eroded by our Brave New World algorithm. Sometimes there are just fundamental and moral rights & wrongs, regardless of “freedom of expression”. (Although, I had to google Phrenology). 1/2

"What if we were wrong to dismiss phrenology" is not a question you should be able to ask and be considered any kind of scientist. Some questions have answers, and we have found them. It's time to stop acting like navel-gazing racism is worth entertaining and start throwing shit at these people.

TWILIGHT PORTRAIT (2011) - Dir Angelina Nikonova. Difficult questions often remain unanswered, but they still need to be asked. Bold, stark and unflinching. This one will haunt my thoughts for a while. Courtesy of @klassiki.bsky.social (fast becoming my favourite streamer). boxd.it/fYw61N

A ★★★★★ review of Twilight Portrait (2011)

The machinations of people carry their own poison, no matter what table you sit on a societal level. From self proclaimed friends that are barely tolerated, those that would just as soon as stab you i...

Shelter (2026) - Dir Ric Roman Waugh. JASON STATHAM movies get a bad rap. Sure they are basic and predictable, but after a hard week something simple is what’s needed. Plus there is a baseline morality that served a generation of fatherless latchkey kids at play. boxd.it/fHHwJP

A ★★★★★ review of Shelter (2026)

JASON STATHAM IS… living on an island.  Alright, so that’s the first 30 minutes covered, what about the rest? Shelter is a simple tale of a simple man with a dark past that must save someone in the pr...

ICK (2024) - Dir Joseph Kahn. Joseph Kahn has a chequered history in the big chair. Torque (2004) stank of studio interference, but Detention (2011) I adored and feels like the start of that slew of movies like The Final Girls (2015). So could Ick follow suit? Time for 00s nostalgia. boxd.it/fifXSt

A ★★★★ review of Ick (2024)

It’s 2001 and I had just come out of seeing Alkaline Trio on their first UK tour. “From Here To Infirmary” was blasting from the car stereo and there was nothing cooler than Punk Rock right in that mo...

The first film to really take on AI (as we know it now: a way to make bad pictures of hamburgers or a guy with 17 fingers, not cool AI concepts like The Terminator, HAL or Bicentennial Man) critically as a concept? Also creepy and scary: it's a winner!

A ★★★★½ review of Backrooms (2026)

Pretty good! I appreciate something that is as overtly critical of AI as this. It may be the first big cinema hit to use the endless copying, every version inferior to the last problems that AI image ...
