It has been a busy 2025 for Steven Soderbergh and David Koepp. Not content with releasing Presence in late January, the director and screenwriter have quickly followed that up by switching from spectr...

“Not your typical haunted house horror film… but for those attuned to its wavelength, #Presence will haunt you for days long after the credits roll”

If someone buys a ticket for Presence expecting what some have dubbed “the scariest movie you will see this year” they might leave sorely disappointed. Just look at the current audience score on Rotte...

Out this weekend, #TheBrutalist “is a modern masterpiece. One that many will come to look back on as landmark piece of American cinema”

“A lean, mean, nasty thrill ride that will leave fans hungry (like the Wolf) for more of Leigh Whannell’s personal Dark Universe”

First mini review of 2025.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for #Nosferatu on @letterboxd.social

boxd.it/8gt0K5
Review of Nosferatu that reads: Nosferatu? More like Yes-feratu.
Audiences will succumb to the darkness that permeates through every frame of Eggers’ adaptation of this classic vampire tale.
The cinematography, production design and score are all stunning, generating a sumptuous Gothic atmosphere dripping with menace.
The cast on the whole are great, with Skarsgard adding another iconic villain to his repertoire.
However the film’s only misstep is the casting of Aaron Taylor Johnson. He sticks out like a sore thumb, with his delivery and demeanour at odds with the tone created by the others.
Thankfully it is not enough to disrupt the dreamlike quality woven in this blood-curdling, beautiful nightmare.

Tonight’s Film 🎬 is Moana 2.

Time to smell what The Rock is cooking up sequel-wise…

#Wicked - This return to Oz is oddly flat in terms of visuals and choreography but the musical adaptation truly soars (defies gravity even) when focused on the relationship between Elphaba & Glinda.
Erivo is soulful and nails the big moments but it is Grande who impresses and a delightful surprise.

A great night celebrating the best of film and TV at the #BAFTAScotAwards
There is a LOT of fantastic arts and culture being made in Scotland and it should be supported at all levels in terms of funding, production and exhibition.
