Wonder Wheel **** (2017, Kate Winslet, Justin Timberlake, Jim Belushi, Juno Temple) – Movie Review
Writer-director Woody Allen’s 2017 Wonder Wheel is a dark, bleak masterwork, a late gem from the troubled film-maker, in the vein of his Blue Jasmine. I think I counted one attempt at joke in the entire […]

Director Rowland V Lee’s creaky but creepy 1930 Paramount horror thriller brings back Warner Oland, who is fun re-creating his role as Sax Rohmer’s evil criminal mastermind Dr Fu Manchu from the 1929 film The […]
David Lynch: The Art Life **** (2016, David Lynch) – Movie Review
Director Jon Nguyen’s 2016 biographical documentary is fascinating, informative, entertaining and richly enjoyable. It throws much light on David Lynch’s art, which is remarkable and much less well known than his films. Lynch proves as […]
