Harrison Abbott on the moviegoing experience… A quick disclaimer: It took numerous rewrites for me to get this article into a state where it no longer resembled a deranged manifesto. At one point it was just the phrase ”Tear it all down” repeated for roughly 6 pages, along with a few obligatory references to”the phonies”. Despite […]
Why the Star Wars: The Last Jedi remake should be taken (somewhat) seriously
Anghus Houvouras on the fan campaign to fund a remake of Star Wars: The Last Jedi… Not the actual movie, mind you. I’m not here to advocate a $200 million GoFundMe financed fan-film version of Episode VIII. That would be ludicrous… but so damn entertaining. It would be like watching Zack Snyder’s cut of Justice […]
WWE’s Top 10 Wrestlers of the Year So Far
Liam Hoofe looks back at the best WWE and NXT superstars from the first half of 2018… With WWE Money and NXT Takeover: Chicago now in the history books, we are just getting to the half-way point of 2018. It’s been an interesting year for the WWE, with the main-roster struggling to deliver quality on […]
Critic Firing Back: We’re not to blame for mediocre reviews
Tom Jolliffe looks at when filmmakers hit back at critics for mediocre reviews… Not for the first time and not for the last, a Hollywood star, in this case Mindy Kaling, has accused specifically male reviewers (and even more specifically white male reviewers) of being unfairly biased against her film (in this case, Ocean’s 8). […]
The Problem with Hereditary’s Marketing
Helen Murdoch on the problem with Hereditary’s marketing… All of the recent 5 star reviews of Ari Aster’s horror Hereditary have got me thinking about what we expect going into a film versus what we actually see. Hereditary depicts the most horrific displays of grief that I’ve ever seen committed to screen, but based on […]
Ranking the Pixar Movies from Worst to Best
George Chrysostomou ranks the Pixar movies from worst to best… Coinciding with the release of Incredibles 2, we at Flickering Myth thought it was about time to do a full ranking of every Pixar film. To create this list, not only is this a culmination of my own opinions and other Flickering Myth writers, but also […]
Ranking the Resident Evil Games from Worst to Best
Chris Cooper ranks the Resident Evil games… Back in 1998, around the time the second game was released, was when my relationship with Resident Evil began. My brothers and I were too young to be playing it but we’d managed to convince our mum to get us a copy of the first game now that […]
A Modern Horror Renaissance and the Hereditary Legacy Question
Tom Jolliffe looks at modern horror films on the up, and whether Hereditary will leave a lasting legacy… Minor Hereditary related spoilers may follow: Horror films have always been divisive. They’re certainly popular and in comparison to other genres, they’re normally cost-effective. You only need look at the cost against return on The Blair Witch […]
Not To Be Taken Seriously: The First Order Stormtrooper Redesign
Anghus Houvouras on the First Order Stormtrooper… There are some topics that feel far too ridiculous to write a column about. This is one of them. The Star Wars franchise has been taking licks like a crack filled Tootsie Pop. Everybody’s stumbling over one another to give their perspective on the state of a galaxy […]
Reboots and Rebrands and Remakes, Oh My! What’s with the lack of originality these days?
Sade Green on reboots, rebrands and remakes… There is a distinct lack of originality in the film industry at the moment. Perhaps that’s too harsh actually; there is a distinct lack of originality in Hollywood. The market is over run with sequels, spin-offs, reboots, rebrands, films-that-are-now-television-shows and the dreaded ‘late-sequel’. You know, that sequel that […]
