British Film Festival: Lancaster Movie Review
In the early forties there was no certainty that Hitler and the Nazis would be defeated and Britain was on the precipice of defeat. The German bombing of England was relentless and lasted eight months. This led to the death of 43.000 poor souls. The RAF Spitfires ultimately saved the day but there was cause to retaliate and thus the need for a bomber with greater capabilities.

There were bombers in the fleet and also in production but they were inadequate for the ...

Bros Movie Review
So many topics get skewered in the cause of making the audience laugh. Gender politics are used as fodder for humour as well as the difficulty in connecting in a world where everyone is linked by an electronic device. And through it all, one thing remains clear, gay dating can be every bit as messy as the heterosexual version.

Most of the elements that make up successful rom-coms get played out here. Bobby (Billy Eichner) meets boy Aaron (Luke Macfarlane), falls for boy, ...
The Woman King Movie Review
Viola Davis is mesmerising as General Nanisca who commands the all-female group of warriors, known as the Agojie, Davis plays the leader with a sense of great strength and resolve. This is tempered by an underlining sense of sadness. As the story progresses we discover the cause of that sorrow.
//
When Nawi (Thuso Mbedu) a headstrong girl that is given up after her father cannot control her errant ways becomes part of the warrior tribe, she brings the usually stoic ...
Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris Movie Review
Underlining the frivolities is some consistent commentary on the class system and the vanity and entitlement that the upper classes feel they are entitled to. Through it all, the down-to-earth nature and honesty of Mrs Harris (Lesley Manville) shines through. Set in post-World War II England. Mrs Harris ekes out a living cleaning the houses of the well-to-do.

Her husband has been missing since the war and she works hard to make a living but she still has dreams. ...

He has a close affilia...

The Possessed Movie Review
He or maybe she will always be a great bad guy or gal to put in a film and The Possessed rocks that notion hard. From old Beelzebub’s frequent visits to suburban homes to playing musical chairs in a noisy nightclub, the evil presence always packs a solid punch. A gory misshaped drooling bloody punch.

Jacob Chandler (John Jarratt) and his nephew Liam (Lincoln Lewis) have a successful side-hustle preforming exorcisms. When Liam’s new nightclub DJ girlfriend ...
British Film Festival Fisherman’s Friends: One and All Movie Review
The album went gold selling over 150,000 copies and in these days of streaming that is an impressive number. With that surprise success, media attention and a film based on their story was inevitable. The first film did well and now part two gets a release. The first version was a feel-good story and the second continues with that momentum.
//
The story that has been built around the facts feels very contrived but that does little to dull the joy. Who doesn’t love ...
