Continuing our journey down Kevin Smith’s rabbit hole, we find ourselves in the heady days of 1995 with Kevin’s follow up to Clerks where he attempted to spoil all the good favour he’d earned with that indie classic by making a studio dud.•Ma

Kevin Smith will always have a special place in my heart. I fell in love with his films as a teen, and my respect for him has endured to my adulthood.•But even for a Kevin Smith fan such as I, his more recent efforts have been… lackluster. So

"As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster”, “Funny how?”, “Now go home & get your fuckin' shinebox!” Goodfellas is not bereft of iconic moments.•It’s one of those films, along with Scarface, that I’ve found a lot of blo

I love love, I’ll make no excuses for it. I love romantic films. I love seeing two hot people fall in love and be all cool and fun and sexy and then do a kiss. It’s like sports films: the formula is so well worn because it’s fantastic when it a

Apr 27th, 2020 58m 24s

Some films have premises that are so outlandish you have to check whether they’re science fiction. This film, the latest from Short Term 12 director Destin Daniel Cretton, focuses on a black man who sits on death row, having been wrongly convic

Mar 26th, 2020 1h 2m

After a long delay due to illness, we are back, to pay a debt. I won our Oscar prediction contest, and as such got to pick the next film that we’d watch and do a Flix on. So I picked Tron Legacy, because I’m a good husband.•Tron Legacy is the

The Oscars are imminent, and like previous years Tiffany B and I have been busily watching as many of the contenders as we could. And we’ve done a really good job, you guys. Seriously, you should be proud of us.•And what we found was… much li

Jan 23rd, 2020 55m 45s

Martin Scorsese dissed Marvel films last year. Dissed them hard. Luckily for him, as much as I am a ride-or-die MCU fan, I’m also professional AF, so I was able to put my personal feelings to one side when discussing his new pile of bullshit, T

We’re living in a time where the rich are super duper rich, and the poor are crazy poor. It’s a sad state of affairs that doesn’t get explored a huge amount through film, not least of which because a lot of the studio executives that green ligh

Flix 134: Star Wars Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker aka “The rest of us are lovely Hitlers..."

Jan 1st, 2020 1h 38m

Star Wars is done and we’ll never get another film from this franchise. That’s the cold hard facts of the matter and I can’t help you if you don’t believe me. All we have to remember this 42 year old franchise is this, the third installment of

Nov 21st, 2019 1h 1m

The more I hear about Nazis, the less I like them. Just bloody numpties, aren’t they? All that hating? And murdering? And wanting to bring about a golden age of blonde people when they’re being led by a brunette? Yeah, not for me thanks. Smell

Oct 22nd, 2019 1h 13m

It’s Halloween, which means the scary films come out to play. I am, as has been well documented, a baby when it comes to matters of horror, so the Scream franchise appeals to me greatly. Horror-lite, if you will.•So I decided, to celebrate th

I don’t dig on horror films too much. The feeling of terror is one that carries none of the thrill it does for others. Terror is terror, and should be avoided like phone conversations and gin based cocktails. But for reasons that escape me, I f

Flix 128: The Farewell aka "You'd have to give twins cancer at the same time"

Aug 30th, 2019 55m 42s

As a man terrified of death, I often find myself drawn to cinematic examinations of it. If I stare into the abyss (with my hand held tight by a great movie) for long enough, then maybe I’ll start to see some comforting logic unfurl to soothe me

Aug 16th, 2019 1h 2m

It’s always trepidatious jumping into a film series after the first one. Will I be able to keep up? Will there be plot points that don’t make sense to me? In the case of Hobbs and Shaw however, technically the 9th installment in the car-based F
