Review in Brief: The Last Duel (2021)

Posted on October 18, 2021 by Sam Sewell-Peterson

Ridley Scott still does this kind of thing incredibly well. In a brutal and unflinching story, Lady Marguerite de Carrouges (Jodie Comer) accuses Jacques Le Gris (Adam Dtiver) of rape, causing her husband Sir Jean (Matt Damon) to call for … Continue reading →

Review: Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker (2019)

Posted on December 28, 2019 by Sam Sewell-Peterson

Fans, as a rule don’t really know what they want – only what they don’t. A lot of Star Wars fans didn’t want things to go the way they did in THE LAST JEDI, so JJ Abrams seems primarily concerned … Continue reading →

Posted on September 14, 2018 by Sam Sewell-Peterson

I’m still reeling from the final moments of BLACKKKLANSMAN – no other film of 2018 will pack quite as forceful a denouement. Nowhere else is Spike Lee’s mastery of blending of subjective emotion-driven storytelling with documentary filmmaking techniques more apparent, … Continue reading →

Review in Brief: Logan Lucky (2017)

Posted on January 16, 2018 by Sam Sewell-Peterson

I’ve never been a fan of Steven Soderbergh’s OCEAN’S ELEVEN: I find it insufferably smug, over-stylised and that it thinks it’s far cleverer than it actually is. Thankfully LOGAN LUCKY doesn’t share such pretensions, nailing on what it is from … Continue reading →

Review: Star Wars: Episode VIII – The Last Jedi (2017)

Posted on December 19, 2017 by Sam Sewell-Peterson

This is not going to go the way you think…

Posted on October 10, 2017 by Sam Sewell-Peterson

Something happened last night (or this morning in the UK). There was a disturbance in the force and millions of voices cried out in jubilation, not to be silenced until December. The first full trailer for STAR WARS: THE LAST … Continue reading →
