In the not too distant future, we reach out beyond our own solar system in search of a new home. To do this, space ships are launched, “manned” by our closest relative – chimpanzees. Specially trained, they must ascertain whether or not our exodus may begin, giving us a new home full of natural resources to claim as our own. One of these chimpanzee explorers is Hope-65, one of a long line of her kind to go into space on our behalf. She eventually arrives at a planet which fulfils all the ...
We’ve probably all seen that clip by now, and have picked our sides. I won’t beat about the bush here: I’m very much Team Lesley Manville.

I don't particularly care about the Star Wars universe. I've seen the main movies, barely remember them, started The Mandalorian and never finished it, and played a few of the games. To me, the coolest character in the universe is Star Killer. That said, I started watching Maul - Shadow Lord and it's damn good! The mix of 3D animation and hand-drawn art styles is on point!

The Fritzes award honors the best interfaces in a full-length motion picture in the past year. Interfaces play a special role in our movie-going experience, and are a craft all their own that does not otherwise receive focused recognition.

Ages ago, a reader suggested we review Saratoga Trunk (1945), and I remember looking a
Is it possible that Street Fighter as a film somehow embraced the cheese so well that we’ve ended up with a completely ridiculous, silly, and dare I say it — fun looking movie? I am WAY more into this than the first teaser. Sadly, we won’t know until October 16th, when it releases, which is […]
