Sorry to Bother You * (2018, Lakeith Stanfield, Tessa Thompson, Jermaine Fowler, Danny Glover, Armie Hammer) – Movie Review
Debut writer-director Boots Riley’s 2018 surreal satirical comedy Sorry to Bother You is a nice try, with ambition and intelligence behind it, but it is mostly strained and unamusing. It is pretty much a one-joke movie, […]

Haunted Honeymoon ** (1986, Gene Wilder, Gilda Radner, Dom DeLuise, Jonathan Pryce, Paul L Smith, Peter Vaughan, Bryan Pringle) – Classic Movie Review 6283
Co-writer/ director Gene Wilder and his late wife Gilda Radner bring a smidgeon of sparkle into this amiable but slack, creaky and lacklustre 1986 haunted house spoof comedy chiller. The problem, as so often, especially […]

‘The picture dedicated to life, liberty and the pursuit of happenings.’ Writer/ director Theodore J Flicker’s 1967 little gem is a Swinging Sixties modish mix of farce and satire with a trendy James Coburn as […]
