Best Movies Of All Time

Posted on by jimmy

Warner Bros. released two previous versions in the years leading up to this celebrated film, one of them being a comedic misfire. Proving just how legendary this third version remains, a 45-pound prop statuette used in the film sold at auction in 2013 for a whopping $4 million. The Bogart starrer also earned three Academy Award nominations, including for Best Picture. Dramas don’t get much more somber than this one from acclaimed writer/director Kenneth Lonergan. In the film, a brooding handyman is given guardianship over his 16-year-old nephew and thereby forced to confront some traumatic demons from his own past. The film took home two Academy Awards, including one for Affleck, who took home Best Actor, as well as Best Original Screenplay.

Proving just how poignant the movie was and remains, a psychological condition known as the Truman Show Delusion is named for a delusion in which individuals believe they … Read More

Why Do We Like Horror Movies?

Posted on by jimmy

Kim Newman, writing for the guide 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die, said that Dracula signaled the “true starting of the horror movie as a definite style and the vampire movie as its most popular subgenre.” In the 1930s Universal Pictures continued producing films based mostly on Gothic horror.

The studio entered a Golden Age of monster motion pictures within the ’30s, releasing a string of hit horror films. The films would retroactively be categorised collectively as a part of the Universal Classic Monsters collection. French filmmaker Jean Epstein produced an influential film, La Chute de la maison Usher (The Fall of the House of Usher) in 1928.

Peter Ruric (better known as pulp author Paul Cain) wrote the screenplay. On 21 November 1931, Universal Pictures released another hit movie with Frankenstein.

1931’s Frankenstein was based mostly on a 1927 play by Peggy Webling which in turn was … Read More

14 Terrifying Indonesian Horror Movies

Posted on by jimmy

In an attempt to move away from folklore and cults, this adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft’s short cosmic horror occupies a considerably small niche compared to the previous films on this list. The Colour out of Space is intended to be the first of a thematic trilogy. Lovecraft’s short stories have seen a fair few adaptations throughout the decades and have impacted the science-fi/horror sub-genre, providing inspiration for films like the little-known The Void .

Georges Franju’s direction gives Eyes Without A Face a lyrical, poetic feel, and a twisted logic that makes it feel more like a fairytale than a standard mad professor flick. The Spectator’s reviewer at the time called it “the sickest film since I started film criticism,” which is quite a recommendation. There have been a lot of adaptations, riffs, nods and straight up rip-offs of The Turn of the Screw, but none are as good as … Read More

20 Best Romantic Movies Of All Time, From Brief Encounter To Notting Hill

Posted on by jimmy

This British classic, featuring an American sweetheart, has so many wonderful romantic moments from start to finish. We’ve selected what we think is a truly heart-melting moment when two of the film’s supporting cast members help Hugh Grant’s character race across London to rescue his relationship with Anna . It’s a beautiful moment and of course means Bella can pretend to be reviewing the Savoy as a wheelchair user and ultimately get Will access to Anna for the triumphant and romantic end to the film. Courtesy of IMDBThis is a tragedy which is obviously important to be brought to light, but Firebird offers very little that is new to the pattern of tragic gay romance films.

Best Horror Films 2021

Although I did enjoy Macabre more than both of those films, it isn’t really my cup of tea. But if you enjoy chainsaws, decapitations and buckets of blood, you’ll love Macabre. Plus Shareefa Daanish, who plays the family matriarch, is truly terrifying. If that seems mean, keep in mind I’m just not a big fan of possession https://www.wikipedia.org/s. Another creepy Spanish horror film in the mix, The Devil’s Backbone is written by Guillermo del Toro and produced by director heavyweight Pedro Almodóvar.

It’s only natural that Hellraiser’s Pinhead would be suffering from some serious FOMO. The good news but probably not for us, is that Clive Barker’s monstrosity is returning from a descent into straight to video depravity. Known for terrifying trip to the woods monster movie The Ritual, director David Bruckner has finished shooting his “reimagining” for Hulu and Clive Barker himself is in a producer role.

George Clooney has apologised for his Bat-nippled version of the Caped Crusader, while director Joel Schumacher has said sorry multiple times. “I want to apologise to every fan that was disappointed because I think I owe them that.” After the widely maligned film reached cinemas, Schumacher said he was treated like “scum”. Working with his biggest budget to date, Jean-Luc Godard created a sublime widescreen drama about marital breakdown, set during pre-production on a film shoot.
