I can only describe this as a sort of mixture of Beetlejuice and every Gothy type teeny series on Netflix – like Sabrina and Wednesday, but with a darker (rapey, murdery) edge.

Directed by Euzan Palcy and co-written by Colin Welland, based upon André Brink’s novel, A Dry White Season was made in a time when Apartheid was still in place in South Africa.

There comes a point in the film where I asked Mr 60MWto turn it off, as I didn’t want to see anymore…but I was glued to the screen. What followed was an hour of absolute anguish, horror and trepidation.

The Promised Land (or ‘Bastarden’) couples together director by Nikolaj Arcel (A Royal Affair) and Mads Mikkelsen in another superior Danish Historical epic. 

It stars Jake Gyllenhaal as U.S. Army Captain Colter Stevens, who is sent into an eight-minute virtual re-creation of a real-life train explosion, tasked with determining the identity of the terrorist who bombed it.

Backbeat is a snapshot of Hamburg and John Lennon’s (Ian Hart) (and the Beatles) relationship with Stuart Sutcliffe (Stephen Dorff).

The film is about a small group of Vatican investigators researching an old church which once may have been the site of a religious miracle.

In Possessor we follow the story of Tasya Vos (the amazing Andrea Riseborough) who’s an assassin in an […]

Blu-ray: Fear City (1984)I’m always filled with wonder at the amount of films that were made in the 80s. I mean by now you’d think we at 60MW Towers would have seen them all. Twice. But no.How on earth I have never seen Abel Ferarra’s 1984 Fear City is beyond me, but thankfully 101 Films […]
