Review: Steppenwolf
Steppenwolf is a very nihilistic film that I hope gets a wider audience. I also hope to see Berik Aytzhanov in a lot more films from now on. What a fantastic actor he is.

Unmissable…especially in this great 1st time 4K UHD UK release from 101 Films.
Dan Ackroyd (who wrote the script) plays LAPD Sergeant Joe Friday, the nephew of the TV series of the same name), and someone who shares his uncles straight ways.
It’s a pretty labyrinthine plot, but it’s very effective and tells the story of these two mismatched lovers beautifully with whip smart dialogue, and some very funny scenes.
Based on a true(ish) story and a departure in tone for director Wes Craven, The Serpent and the Rainbow looks at Voodoo and whether there really are such things as zombies.
This is on a par with the recent Documentary about Christopher Reeve, where you get a sense of the real person, and a feeling for their true nature.
This is, quite simply…Beautiful.
I have no idea how I missed this classic bit of 80s cinema, but I’m delighted to have watched it and in gorgeous 4K in this excellent release.
Films like The Cell absolutely bang on 4K and this is just breathtaking. As Deane enters dreamscape of Stargher’s twisted psyche, the colours and film sets are amazing.
Indicator’s new release of this film looks wonderful and despite the convoluted story, this is a very enjoyable Sunday afternoon film.
This is a pretty good murder-mystery- whodunnit with the added pleasure of Keanu Reeves playing a believable wife beating, southern redneck.
