The Gentlemen (2019)

A new Icelandic film is out, Þrost (Thirst) about a peculiarly selective vampire and friend who stalk the streets of Reykjavík. The trailer looks trashy but it is full of familiar faces and lots of scenes of the city. Now streaming on Pecadillio (link at YouTube description:

Last year I attended two days of the Cinecon Classic Film Festival, but I was disappointed I was unable to catch IT'S A WISE CHILD (1931), a rarely seen pre-Code comedy starring Marion Davies.Very happily IT'S A WISE CHILD has just been released on Blu-ray by the Warner Archive Collection.Like LETTY LYNTON (1932), which is due out in the immediate future, the underlying play by Laurence E. Johnson has fallen into the public domain, clearing the path for release.Davies plays Joyce Stanton, a…

Review by Sandre the Giant Released: 12th June 2026 Canadian technical death metallers Goreworm have just released their second record, ‘Miasmic Solitude’, on Transcending Obscurity and while the genre has always suffered from the risk of saturated yet soulless brutality, Goreworm’s 2020 debut ‘Prodigy of the Grotesque’ had none of these issues. Their distinctive blend of tech death, melodeath and a healthy dose of atmospheric touches were exciting to watch unfold, and ‘Miasmic Solitude’ looks…

The early life of musician Michael Jackson, from the discovery of his talent as the lead of the Jackson Five to the artist whose creative ambition fueled a pursuit to become the biggest entertainer in the world. It’s hard to make something about Michael Jackson without falling into controversy, or falling flat. However, this biopic about the life of the greatest pop star that’s ever lived is a complex story about music, business, abuse and finding yourself and stops just right, with the 1988…

(This post is part of the 2026 Luso World Blogathon hosted by Crítica Retrô and Spellbound with Beth Ann)The title "America's Sweetheart" has been applied to a number of actresses over the years. For a brief time in the late Sixties and early Seventies, it could have easily been applied to actress Karen Valentine, who played student teacher Alice Johnson on the comedy-drama TV series Room 222. If you ask many younger male Baby Boomers (who may have seen Room 222 in its first run) or older Gen…

Vor zwei Jahren hatte ich eine Bürgeranregung eingereicht, um eine direkte Fahrrad-Verbindung von der Erzbahntrasse zur Zeche Hannover mit der Zeche Knirps zu bekommen. Kernelement ist die Eisenbahnbrücke über die Hüller-Bach-Straße und den zugehörigen Bach. Die sollte nach Planungen der Stadt Bochum für Fußgänger ertüchtigt werden. Die vorherige hölzerne Brücke über den Hüller Bach war da schon jahrelang gesperrt und schließlich abgerissen worden. 2012: Eine Familie auf dem Weg von der…

I have always wanted to see this, and it popped up on sale while I was trawling through the bottom of Amazon the other night. Judex (real name Jacques de Trémeuse) is a fictional French vigilante hero created by Louis Feuillade and Arthur Bernède for the 1916 silent film serial of the same name. Judex (whose name is Latin for “judge”) is a mysterious avenger who dresses in black and wears a wide-brimmed hat and cloak. He was possibly conceived as a heroic version of the criminal character…

A juror, a lawyer and a mysterious woman stand in the way of a man trying to manipulate an explosive trial. Good conspiracy thriller around gun legislation in a complicated and layred story. All in all, a great watch for an afernoon, Gene Hackman, John Cusack, Rachel Weisz, Dustin Hoffman having good performances, in this movie directed by Gary Fleder and based on a John Grisham novel.

Y’all already know that I am not a horror fan. Horror has always been my least favorite movie genre, and there are very few movies within the genre that I even consider worthwhile. When I went to see Obsession, I was already outside of my comfort zone by going and seeing a horror movie in theaters, as they’re always too loud and I really hate being jump scared in front of other people. You can imagine my surprise when Obsession ended up being the best horror movie I’ve ever seen. It is one of…

John Grisham’s bestseller A Time to Kill hits the screen with incendiary force, directed by Joel Schumacher (Batman Forever, The Client). Sandra Bullock, Samuel L. Jackson, Matthew McConaughey and Kevin Spacey portray the principals in a murder trial that brings a small Mississippi town’s racial tensions to the flashpoint. Amid a frenzy of activist marches, Klan terror, media clamor and…

At the start of Exhuma, we see a young woman and man sitting next to each other on a first-class flight. Both of them go beyond movie-star beautiful into model or pop star beautiful, and they’re both fashionably dressed. The man is more casually dressed, and he’s resting while listening to headphones. His arms and chest are covered in tattoos of Chinese characters. The woman is more serious, looking out the window and thinking. A flight attendant comes up and asks, in Japanese I believe,…

Schon vor einiger Zeit geisterte dieses Desserts durch die sozialen Medien, doch erst jetzt habe ich es endlich mal ausprobiert.

Football may be the last mass spectacle that still resists instant gratification.

Toy Story 5 manages to keep Pixar's animated franchise from slipping into irrelevance, no small feat considering the first Toy Story movie appeared 31 years ago. This edition renews the franchise by expanding the role of cowgirl heroine Jessie (Joan Cusack) and also presenting her with a love interest, Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen). It’s not too early to think about wedding gifts. A comforting story arc again underscores the assertion that beloved toys provide kids with much-needed emotional…

So, I think I was vaguely aware that Fritz Lang filmed THE NIBELUNG, but as I was kicking around Amazon, I tripped over this, a four and a half hour long full restoration. Never seen it. This is probably the only way I ever will. A real discovery. UK release – there’s a different version for US+. CONNECTED: HOB’S LANE 21 Cyberpunk Gandalf Metropolis METROPOLIS And The Confusion

Having leaked over the last week in all sorts of locations, we knew this was coming, but the new teaser for Spider-Man: Brand New Day has arrived. It’s more of everything we knew was coming — the drama of being Spider-Man, Hulk smashing things, slight glimpses details of Sadie Sink’s mysterious character (who is all but confirmed to be Jean Grey), organic webs, and yes, more of the humor this version of the franchise has come to be known for. I’d say it looks pretty damn solid. Additionally —…

I'm back from a wonderful few days traveling up and down Highway 395.I spent last weekend in Lone Pine, where I attended the Concert in the Rocks for this first time. This annual event in the Alabama Hills benefits Lone Pine's Museum of Western Film History.This year's concert featured Dean Torrence, formerly of Jan and Dean, backed by the Surf City AllStars. They sang a lively concert of "beach" music made popular by Jan and Dean, as well as the Beach Boys.Dean is now 86, but I never would…

Watched: Ticket to Paradise 🍿 I didn’t like this one very much. It had all the right pieces: notable actors, beautiful location, a light-hearted plot. The problem is that I really didn’t like the characters.
