Of all the film sites on all the nodes of the internet, you ended up here, so thanks for that
For a year that was itself pretty out-here, 2020 was strangely devoid of cinematic oddities.
As such, I was forced to award my “Mad As Arseholes” award to a film that wasn’t technically released till New Year’s Day.
Shadow in the Cloud is a glossy, unabashed genre mashup, which repositions that old Twilight Zone standard “Nightmare at 20,000 Feet” as WW2 aviation thriller, creature feature, and feminist parable.…
Based on Grímur Hákonarson’s Hrutar, Rams transplants that film’s woolly, fraternal premise from the rugged slopes of Iceland to Australia.
Bucolic, taciturn Colin (Sam Neill) approaches farming with wistful humour and affection. His brother Les (Michael Caton) is an ornery, cantankerous drunk who makes a habit of passing out in fields.…
For most, 2020 was the worst year in memory.
Light in the darkness however came not from movie projectors, but the glow of TV screens as we were all forced inside for most of the year.
While many major films were shunted back to 2021, 2020 was still a quality year for the movies.…
PSA: Unlike with this year’s roundup on the Movie Robcast, I’ve decided not to include any films that were eligible for the previous Oscars; even if they were only released in the UK in 2020.
That means no Parasite for Best Picture, or Céline Sciamma for Best Director (Portrait of a Lady on Fire), no Scarlett Johansson for Best Supporting Actress (Jojo Rabbit), or Roger Deakins for Best Cinematography (1917).…
Episode 106 of The Movie Robcast sees Robs Daniel & Wallis joined by friend of the podcast and regular contributor Adrian Zak.
The three discuss the new David Fincher film, Mank, which tells the story of Herman J. Mankiewicz, co-writer of Citizen Kane.…
A revenge thriller from a former show runner on Killing Eve, Promising Young Woman is every bit as stylish and unique as that pedigree suggests.
It’s a bitter trope that young, male abusers are spared the full brunt of the just system due to their status as a “promising young man”.…
Perhaps no movie looms larger in the collective consciousness than Citizen Kane; perhaps no filmmaker more legendary than its multi-hyphenate creator Orson Welles, who directed, wrote, and starred in the film.
One of those credits he shares – that of screenwriter, with Herman J.…
Episodes 104-105 of The Movie Robcast take a deep dive into the wonders of Jaws, quite simply one of the finest films ever made.
To mark the movie’s 45th anniversary, Robs Daniel & Wallis are joined by Jaws-ophiles, and friends of the show, Sarah Johnson and Adrian Zak.…
A woman in a red swimsuit sits at the end of a wooden dock, shrouded in mist. She (Aubrey Plaza) is still, but clearly shaken; devastated even. There is a sense that she is barely holding it together. It’s an image that Black Bear returns to repeatedly, that of some mysterious trauma; even as it delves into notions of art and artifice.…
Ep 103 sees Robs Daniel and Wallis embarking on another road trip with Borat Subsequent Moviefilm.
14 years after the original smash hit movie, Sacha Baron Cohen brings his most famous creation back for a tour of Trump’s America. What do our intrepid explorers in pod make of this latest film?…
