The Enviable “Worst” Films of David Fincher

December 3, 2023 by Tom Jolliffe

When Movie Artwork Was Great

November 26, 2023 by Tom Jolliffe

Tom Jolliffe looks at the peak of movie artwork (and subsequent decline)… Movie making is a long drawn out process. From those first scrawled notes that slowly evolve into script, to the preparation, production and post, so many elements combine to deliver a final product.

November 1, 2023 by EJ Moreno

EJ Moreno on the most disturbing horror movies of the 1980s… The 1980s is the prime time for horror films, but oddly, the decade’s movies aren’t as shocking as the 70s or even the torture porn era of the 00s. Hunting for the most shocking and disturbing movies of the decade wasn’t hard, but it […]
