Romanian satirist and experimental filmmaking punk rocker Radu Jude returns to his usual feel-good(!) terrain with his latest movie, Kontinental '25. Out in cinemas now (link in article) Read @simonramshaw.bsky.social's #review here: thegeekshow.co.uk/kontinental-...

FRANKENSTEIN: del Toro’s itch is finally scratched! Extravagantly silly and sentimental, packed with fleshy cadavers and jaw-ripping grue. Elordi follows in the footsteps of Doug Jones as a pretty, lanky, pale beastie among del Toro’s finest. Isaac does a Ruffalo in Poor Things voice. #LFF

The Police Crime thriller is a completely different mood in 2025 than it was in 2002, a mood that Joe Carnahan's underrated and endlessly grimy NARC taps into. Out now on @arrowvideo.bsky.social Blu-Ray #review Read More from @simonramshaw.bsky.social here: thegeekshow.co.uk/narc-2002-re...

#28YEARSLATER spoilers . . . . . . . . . Not wanting to stoke any irl conspiracies here, but I left questioning if the virus was actually infectious anymore. In fact, this is a film where the only transmission of the virus happens in the initial outbreak in the prologue. 1/7

Friendship first half vs Friendship second half

New crittering over at @moviemarker.bsky.social

The Irishman has been officially renamed ‘I Heard You Paint Houses’.

I was intrigued, moved, alarmed and provoked by @joshuaoppenheimer.bsky.social’s #TheEnd, which is, for my money, the most interesting thing currently playing in theatres. Here’s why 👉 thegeekshow.co.uk/the-end-2024...

What do you get when you mash together zone of interest & the act of killing as a musical? Well, something very divisive for starters. But also, Joshua Oppenheimer's The End #mubi Read @simonramshaw.bsky.social's #review here: thegeekshow.co.uk/the-end-2024...

Drawing a line under the The Japan Touring Film Programme for 2025, @simonramshaw.bsky.social looks at the Light Samurai Sci-fi of A Samurai in Time. Which is also out from @thirdwindowfilms.com at the end of the Month #review Read More Here: thegeekshow.co.uk/a-samurai-in...

Turning on the film grain in the last shot of Severance was deliciously diabolical, possibly the most evil visual decision they could have taken, what a way to rub salt in the wound.

Closing the weekend, Tom Noonan's lost american indie classic isn't just ahead of its time, What Happened Was and its awkward anti-romance is decades ahead of the curve. Read @simonramshaw.bsky.social's #review of this new @filmsradiance.bsky.social blu-ray here: thegeekshow.co.uk/what-happene...

The man who liberated my sense of what art could be more than any other, a pitch-dark sunbeam straight to the psyche, is no longer sharing the planet with us. I feel privileged to have existed when he did, and to experience his art in real time is a treasure I cannot relive. Rest in peace, Director.

Would’ve been the last person to call this, but I’d say Star Wars’ latest universe expansion #SkeletonCrew is exactly what the writhing beast needed, that also finally gave in to something rarely seen in any strand of its world: active references to stories outside of its own. 1/17

A 🧵on the ‘I don’t know who Robbie Williams is, so I don’t care who Robbie Williams is, and of course Better Man is bombing and it deserves to’ discourse… I’ll admit to a reservation I had before seeing the film, but one I haven’t really seen others acknowledge... 1/

Den of Thieves 2 looking great and all, but what’s with all Panera Bread product placement??

Quietly fell in love with #ARealPain, a fine-tuned dramedy that features its two leads abroad, but still on home territory. A gentle reminder of Eisenberg’s complicated likeability and Culkin’s brash wit, both doing what they do best with a script laying out its wares in a careful, considered way. 🧵
