‘House’ a Japanese Movie Cult Horror Classic
So last night we decided to watch ‘House’ a Japanese horror / comedy movie made in 1977. I knew nothing previously about this film other than it was on the British Film Institute’s playlist and so came with a good pedigree as I haven’t found many films on the BFI PLAYER that are bad films. I don’t like them all but even the ones I don’t like I can see that they are well made in one way or another.

Growing Out of Die Hard 2
Die Hard 2 is weird. Why make a sequel to Die Hard? How is the audience expected to believe that Bruce Willis’s John McClane would find himself in the midst of yet another terrorist plot with worldwide implications. That’s not exactly a regular occurrence for someone we assume is an NYPD Detective. Right off the bat, the movie is stretching credulity. Then the movie begins and we are slapped in the face with some of the more awkward opening scenes of a major action franchise.

The Haunted Mansion
Disney’s The Haunted Mansion Terrible but nostalgic There are great movies, bad movies, cult classics, and then there’s that strange category of terrible movies but you can watch again and not feel completely ashamed. I don’t think any other movie could properly define that category than The Haunted Mansion starring Eddie Murphy.

Review - Frozen 2
After it's early release in the US, "Frozen 2" has just arrived for home streaming via Disney + worldwide, so I thought now was a good time to take a look at the movie that had the unenviable task of following the highest grossing animation film of all time.

"Well that was a mistake.": A Bad Movie Review of Spiceworld (1997, Bob Spiers)
This was a mistake. A very big mistake. I wish I never ever remembered that this even existed. This movie, is a huge random mess. I cannot comprehend how this film came into being, how any decent writer, director or producer would come up with such an insane drug trip, that would put David Lynch to shame.

Classic Movie Review: The Rocky Horror Picture Show
The Rocky Horror Picture Show was remarkably ahead of its time. This bizarre burlesque of science fiction and monster movie tropes, by way of the musical, anticipates an entire subculture of sexuality and entertainment. Screenwriter Richard O’Brien was a genius and an outsider whose unique vision was perhaps too far ahead of its time in 1975 when the film was released to modest acclaim.

25 Years Of Disney's 'Pocahontas': 9 Fun Facts About The Film
June 23rd marks the 25th anniversary of the Disney classic Pocahontas. Pocahontas's release fell smack-bang in the middle of Disney's golden era 'Renaissance' period, and while it was a hit at the time of it's release, the movie has met with criticism in recent years due to it's historical inaccuracy.

Identifying with Spiderman: Into the Spider-Verse (Spoilers Ahead!)
Welcome to the Spider-verse where there is not only one Spider-Man, but many with different features and rhetorical uses. A movie like this should be analyzed because it is more than a normal carbon copy of a comic book movie. The story is of a young man named Miles Morales who is growing up in New York trying to survive his new school. He gets bit by a spider that has been affected by a giant machine created by a man, Kingpin, who wants to pull his wife and son out of death. The turning on of this machine brought multiple versions of Spider-Man and several spider-girls to Mile’s dimension. The movie is a collaboration of these spider enhanced people to return to their own times and save the current one. The creators of this movie made it their goal to establish a movie that went beyond the physical connotation of a comic book. They wanted the audience to watch this film and be immersed in the action as if they were entering into a comic book.

Review - Eurovision Song Contest: The Story Of Fire Saga
I was really looking forward to this and to a certain degree, I think I needed it. My family and I have been really fortunate in a lot of ways over the last few months, but after Brexit, another general election, COVID-19, lockdown and the (essential) aftermath of the recent murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis, my soul really needed a fresh, silly, Will Ferrell comedy as a break for ninety minutes.
