Is the latest adaptation of WUTHERING HEIGHTS a gothic masterpiece or just a bit... misty? ☁️

@amelianancyharvey.bsky.social’s verdict is in, and while visuals are breathtaking and the chemistry sizzles, the pacing struggles to keep up with the moors' intensity. www.framerated.co.uk/wuthering-he...

RIP Robert Duvall. Hard to find a filmography more iconic. From Tom Hagen to Augustus McCrae, he didn’t just play characters—he disappeared into them.

We reviewed some of his movies, like THE GODFATHER, APOCALYPSE NOW, THE CONVERSATION, and M*A*S*H. www.framerated.co.uk/tag/robert-d...

Does WHISTLE hit the high notes or just leave your ears ringing? 😙

The 2025 horror flick aims for a "sharp" premise, but Jack Heslop found it a bit dull in execution, so it lands right in the graveyard of mediocrity. www.framerated.co.uk/whistle-2025/

'Pulp' (1971)

"Michael Caine seems to be an Englishman lost in Giallo-land... a mystery that gets more complicated as the protagonist nears a solution, a murder with impossible or inexplicable elements, red-herrings"
