Living With Chucky Movie Review
This documentary starts with an assembly of talking heads describing the temper of the times. An era where anti-heroes were fuelling a new wave of horror films that had likeable villains. This started with Freddy Krueger from Wes Carven’s A Nightmare on Elm Street and gathered momentum when writer Don Mancini created the Chucky character for the film Child’s Play in 1988.

Vinyl Nation Movie Review
There is now a subset of the congregation, people that still love, collect and play vinyl. It makes no sense to the outsider to pay the crazy hipster-driven prices that new records cost, not to mention the disadvantages of the format. From an audiophile perspective, it makes even less sense. But there is magic at play here, one not defined by measurements of maybe even sound logic.

The documentary Vinyl Nation does a great job of introducing outsiders to this ...
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 ...

Moonage Daydream Movie Review
Morgen (Producer of Cobain: Montage of Heck and The Kid Stays in the Picture) continues with his idiosyncratic take on the documentary genre. The story is mostly told in audio clips from Bowie himself and does its best to lay out his artistic vision.
//
It’s interesting how much of a male view this is and gives short shift to the women in his life that helped him at numerous points in his career. Iman barley gets a mention and 'Angie' Angela Barnett not at all. ...
