The opening credits for Unhinged paint a pretty bleak and horrific snapshot of human life, just to get us in the mood for what’s to come. Footage of actual road rage incidents, supermarket disagreements and brawls, cars crashing into each other, all while recordings of news readers talk about how stressed and angry we all […]

Based on a C.S. Forester novel The Good Shepherd, and a screenplay by Mr Tom Hanks himself, Greyhound is the latest movie to feature Hanks in the role of brave Captain, returning once more to World War II territory. Any hopes that this might be a return to the grand heights of Saving Private Ryan
Lockdown has eased considerably since we first started the Quaranstream Diary, but while cinemas remain closed (until next month!), streaming remains the second best option. My movie viewing is still fairly non-existent, but I’ve found myself catching up on a number of different shows with the rest of my family while we’re all stuck at

Set in the 1950s, in the fictional town of Cayuga, New Mexico, The Vast of Night is a low-budget sci-fi mystery very much in the style of a Twilight Zone episode. We begin by watching an old black and white TV set of the era, while a voiceover narrates the show being screened on it

Since entering lockdown back in March, my movie watching has taken a serious nosedive. I used to head off to my local cinema a few times a week and just switch off while watching the latest releases, before writing up my thoughts for CineChat. But remaining at home, trying to work, and just generally trying

Zombie comedy movies tend to be a bit hit and miss. For every Shaun of the Dead or Zombieland, you’ll find dozens of others that fail to hit the mark. 2018 movie Office Uprising is one that managed to slip completely under my radar and had been sitting on my now extensive Netflix watch-list for

Right off the bat, this latest remake of the classic H.G. Wells story shows us just how suspenseful it can be. It’s the middle of the night and a wide-awake Cecilia (Elizabeth Moss) quietly climbs out of bed so as not to disturb her sleeping partner Adrian (Oliver Jackson-Cohen). It quickly becomes apparent that she

It’s been a very long time since I played the Sonic the Hedgehog video games on my brothers SEGA Megadrive. I was, and always have been, a Nintendo guy, so since then my only experience of Sonic has been when he joins forces with Mario and Co for Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games.

Don’t let the fact that Parasite is a subtitled movie put you off and believe all the hype you come across, as this is a must see movie and I was gripped, on the edge of my seat and thoroughly entertained for the most part.

Weathering With You is another beautifully creative romantic fantasy from director Makoto Shinkai, who was responsible for 2016 hit, Your Name. I only recently watched Your Name, and to say that it blew me away would be an understatement – it’s a movie I still think about to this day. So, I headed into Weathering
