The Right Stuff (1983)
Aug 26, 2002Story of the True Life Space Mission
Philip Kaufman's adaptation of Tom Wolfe’s book about the astronauts of the Mercury Space Program comes out halfway between admiration of the sheer ballsiness of the astronauts and buying into the flag-waving nationalism the Space Race represented.
Falling Down (1993)
Nov 18, 1999Man's Shooting Rampage Against the Frustrations of Life
Though many people celebrated this as black comedy about Michael Douglas taking up arms on a shooting rampage against the petty frustrations of modern life, it is a film that is really a single redneck rant against the poor and minorities
Breakfast of Champions (1999)
Sep 11, 1999Kurt Vonnegut Adaptation
Disappointing adaptation of the Kurt Vonnegut novel from Adam Rudolph that substitutes Vonnegut's satire for clumsy, ham-fisted farce that never gives us any clear idea what it is satirising

True crime film based on a woman who was best friends with serial killer Ted Bundy
Riding the Bullet (2004)
Apr 2, 2006Car Ride with the Dead/Stephen King Adaptation
One of the worst Stephen King adaptations due to being placed in the hands of Mick Garris, a director who has no concept of subtlety and constantly tries to turn every scene into a pop-up scare like a tatty carnival haunted house ride
Black Swan (2010)
Jan 14, 2011Ballet Psycho-Thriller
Award-winning Darren Aronofsky film about the rivalry between two ballerinas. At heart though, this is no more than a Brian De Palma psycho-thriller with pretensions
Insidious (2010)
Apr 16, 2011Haunting/Astral Projection
On a pure plot level, this is largely a generic haunted house story but director James Wan creates an eerie atmosphere and manages to undeniably jangle the audience's nerves on a number of occasions
Insidious Chapter 2 (2013)
Sep 13, 2013Haunting/Possession
James Wan proves himself one of the finest directors in the horror genre with this sequel to his 2010 film. The plot is trimmed to deliver an effective scare show and Wan again produces a series of eerie and unworldly jumps
The Manor (2021)
Aug 3, 2022Sinister Retirement Home
Barbara Hershey plays an aging woman who moves into a retirement home. The film then develops an edgy paranoia about possibly supernatural happening around her
Strange Darling (2023)
Mar 14, 2025Psycho Film
An incredibly refreshing and original psycho film, made with a furious energy. Every bit of the way it is constantly messing with us and turning everything we think is going on on its head
