Civil War: Movie Review

Both Alex Garland and A24 Films do it again, although this is quite different to most of Garland’s work because it has no sci fi elements to it, at all. It’s not as flat out action thrills a minute as the trailer might suggest but, for me, this wasn’t a problem. Instead it’s an intelligent insight into war and beautifully captures the role of journalism and in particular photojournalism within…

Did someone say milk.

Horror Comedy of the Day: Leprechaun (1993)

1983, North Dakota. Dan O'Grady comes back from a trip overseas with a pot full of gold. Shortly after showing this to his wife, she gets murdered, for the true owner of this treasure followed him all the way. You see, in Ireland there's an old legend that talks of a pot of gold you can find at the end of the rainbow. If you manage to get there, it's yours to keep. But you got to be careful: the fae folk known as the Leprechaun will come for you to take it back.

10 years later, a teenage girl called Tory Redding, who's renting the farm house with her family has to fend this same creature off, as he has escaped the crate he was trapped in.

No, you read that correctly: someone made the old Irish folk tale you most likely associate with the Lucky Charms cereal into a horror film. One where Jennifer Aniston is fighting off Warwick Davis of Willow (1988) fame. And the end result is... kind of a glorious, silly mess.

As the film underwent production, it changed the tone multiple times, going from a more straightforward slasher film to a comedy film that might qualify for a PG rating, only to inject back some gore late in production. The pastiche shows: it's has the same kind of simplistic logic and gags you'd expect from a kids movie down to the musical score, while also being punctuated by (infrequent) blood levels that wouldn't be out of place in Friday the 13th, with the occasional burst of profanity on top.

But of course, we got to talk about the titular character: among an enthusiastic but not very robust cast, Warwick Davis took the role after a slow period in his career to show he had more range than the well meaning Nelwyn; he very clearly had a blast playing the smug, conniving little trickster, chewing the scenery wherever the opportunity arose.

It borders on being infantile but charmingly so, being very much unashamed of its ridiculousness. Fuck you, Lucky Charms indeed.

Baby Reindeer. The Edinburgh Fringe smashes it on Netflix. All Hail Summerhall!

Baby Reindeer has been receiving some great reviews, and I am going to add to that body of opinion. It was written by, and stars, Richard Gadd but with a supreme supporting performance by Jessica Gunning as Gadd’s stalker Martha. In the stage shows, which provided the inspiration for this 7 part Netflix series, Gadd makes it crystal clear that it is an autobiographical story, in the TV…

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice

Movies watched in 2024

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (2024, USA)

Director: Tim Burton

Writers: Alfred Gough & Miles Millar

Mini-review:

I loved the original Beetlejuice movie so much that I was kinda wary about this one, even after it became such a big hit. Having finally watched it, I'm left feeling somewhat indifferent. It's fun and short enough to never get boring, but it just doesn't reach the level of creativity and surprise that characterized the first one, nor is it as visually interesting. I don't know, at times it was kinda going through the motions and nothing more. The cast does deliver big time, with Catherine O'Hara stealing the spotlight thanks to her pitch perfect one-liner delivery. All in all, it was nice returning to this world for a while, even if it's not a particularly memorable experience.

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice: ...Beetlejuice? 👀

A fun, wacky trip down prosthetic-laden 80s horror/comedy, complete with the return of some OG favorites. Story? What story, lol. It’s your classic “help, I’m trapped and I can’t get out” cube rescue formula, packed with irrelevant characters and way too many subplots. It’s like the writers couldn’t decide who to kill off first, so they just threw everything at the wall to see what stuck. But…
