City Of Lies is a drama-thriller about the shooting of rappers Tupac Shakur and Christopher Wallace aka Notorious B.I.G. aka Biggie Smalls, specifically the latter’s death and the investigation into the case by Detective Russell Poole, played in this film by Johnny Depp. This movie was set to […]
Vivarium was unfortunately a victim of the Coronavirus, with the lockdown preventing a national cinematic release in March 2020 and also therefore, some mainstream success. This was kind of ironic given that the plot involved being trapped at home, but despite this mirroring of people’s circumstances, as a […]
Coming To America is one of the most underrated yet best Eddie Murphy movies, second only to the timeless classic Trading Places. The ’80s were a great time for genuine laugh-out-loud comedy, it was also a time when Saturday Night Live graduates were actually talented and made genuinely […]
Greta is an underrated psychological thriller directed by Neil Jordan. The film which stars Isabelle Huppert, Chloë Grace Moretz, and Maika Monroe, received lots of overly-critical reviews when it was released but I found it to be highly entertaining. In case you don’t know, Greta is about a […]
It might be months away, but since Denis Villeneuve’s Dune is on the way, let’s look back at his original sand-set drama from 2010. Incendies is a heart-rending tale based on the play by Wajdi Mouawad. The story begins in Canada where twins Jeanne and Simon are left […]
Tailgate (also known as Bumperkleef) is an underrated Dutch thriller directed by Lodewijk Crijns and starring Jeroen Spitzenberger, Anniek Pheifer, Roosmarijn van der Hoek, Liz Vergeer, and Willem de Wolf. These names may mean nothing to you if you’re in, let’s say the U.K. or U.S. (for all […]
The Fall is a fantasy drama written and directed by Tarsem Singh. Released six years after his directorial debut The Cell, this was a superior follow-up. With its extremely unique and exquisite visuals, this film looks utterly stunning and is an improvement over his first movie both in […]
The Cell is an underrated science fiction horror-thiller directed by Tarsem Singh (or simply “Tarsem” as he was known back then). Originally a director of adverts, this was his directorial debut. The Cell is about a psychologist called Catherine Deane (played by Jennifer Lopez) who can enter the […]
Wonder Woman is a very overrated movie but it’s not without its enjoyable moments. For me, the best parts of the film were the fish-out-of-water elements; where Diana is intrigued, surprised, and dismayed with the real world. Like a mixture of Enchanted and Universal Soldier, seeing Gal Gadot’s […]
Bug is a film that’s very underrated and even underexposed. Directed by William Friedkin, this isn’t one of his most famous movies, despite being one of Friedkin’s most original and memorable offerings. This is a film about paranoia, and how existing in an echo-chamber is detrimental to someone’s […]
His House is a supernatural horror-drama written and directed by Remi Weekes about two asylum seekers who make it to the UK only to be confronted by spirits and apparitions. This film is described online as “a couple from war-torn South Sudan seek asylum and a fresh start […]
Dario Argento has been responsible for some great horror-thrillers. His early films are not necessarily flawless but they’re classics nevertheless; they might not be heaving with edge-of-your-seat thrills but the constant sense of intrigue coupled with the dazzling visuals is a superb mix for the audience. With an […]
Quibi’s Most Dangerous Game is a very underrated TV or web series. I say “series” but it’s not really; each episode is under 10 minutes making the total runtime approximately two hours (127 minutes and 24 seconds to be exact). If this series was edited to remove the […]
