Tom Jolliffe takes a time machine back to the booming straight to video action era of the 90s, and looks at some of the headliners… Call me sentimental but the idea of a VHS player whirring away in its machine, having been carefully picked from the local video shop gets me all misty eyed. In […]

Cinema and the End of the World As We Know It

June 5, 2019 by Tom Jolliffe

Tom Jolliffe takes a look at cinema’s end of the world fascination… As we sit in the age of Trump (currently unfazed by the plight of climate change, and skating on a sheet of thin ice as far as North Korean relations) and Brexit, aforementioned climate issues, and a general sense that democratic systems aren’t […]

A Big Year for Three Modern Horror Masters

June 1, 2019 by Tom Jolliffe

The Lighthouse

Tom Jolliffe takes a look ahead to The Nightingale, Midsommar and The Lighthouse… There’s been some great horror films in the last five years. Three in particular for me really harked back to a classic era sensibility, owing a lot to the best era in creepy atmospheric horror. These would evoke films (among others…) like […]

The R-Rating As a Selling Point: When Films Become Preoccupied With Their Rating

June 1, 2019 by Tom Jolliffe

Tom Jolliffe looks at when films become pre-occupied with their rating…. We’ve seen this become increasingly more common. A reboot, a remake, or just as a counter to other films in the genre, there comes a desire to market a film as being (almost rebelliously) R rated. This weekend in fact, sees a prime example. […]

Why John Wick and Ethan Hunt rule the action genre

June 1, 2019 by Tom Jolliffe

Tom Jolliffe looks at the John Wick and Mission: Impossible franchises, the current best in action cinema… Some Spoilers follow: So Mr. Wick has just come out for his third adventure.

Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and the Art of Career Transformation

May 8, 2019 by Tom Jolliffe

Tom Jolliffe on films stars who re-invent themselves after career decline… Hollywood is unforgiving. You find a degree of success and get to the top. Maybe a string of flops send you crashing back to anonymity. You may still work solidly. Mickey Rourke for example, perceived to have disappeared around the beginning of the 90’s […]

A tribute to the late, great Bibi Andersson

April 15, 2019 by Tom Jolliffe

Tom Jolliffe pays tribute to the late, great Bibi Andersson… Cinephiles around the world were saddened by the recent passing of the magnetic Bibi Andersson. Those versed in Swedish cinema will certainly know well of her work. To the uninitiated, to surmise succinctly, the Swedish actress worked solidly for roughly 60 years. Andersson will always […]

Jumping the Shark on a Nuked Fridge: How Aquaman dials up the crazy to whole new levels

April 8, 2019 by Tom Jolliffe

Tom Jolliffe looks at Aquaman, and how it dials up the crazy to whole new levels… Some films are ridiculous. Of those, some are self aware of the sheer lunacy of their concept. Some are not aware of their own ridiculousness. The self aware films can often be a little too self-aware, and then feel […]
