Blu-ray Review: RED SONJA – Swords, Sorcery & Schwarzenegger

Review: Brad Anderson’s Cult Chiller SESSION 9 Gets An Epic Release From Second Sight Films

Uncovering Curiosities: Ben Affleck’s LIVE BY NIGHT

Review: Alain Delon Is MR KLEIN In Joseph Losey’s Curious Mystery

Joseph Losey’s French drama, Mr Klein (Monsieur Klein) is a quietly understated WWII thriller which features a powerful-yet-subdued performance from Alain Delon in the title role. The 1976 film draws tension from the mundane and it [...]

Uncovering Curiosities: Justin Kurzel’s MACBETH

Director Justin Kurzel’s 2015 screen adaptation of Macbeth is a luscious piece of cinematic grit. It’s a down-and-dirty version of Shakespeare’s tragedy but it’s a hollow film that unfortunately has had it’s heart ripped out through its [...]
