Movie reviews of Evan Popplestone

Inferno and Clouzot remain little more than tantalising enigmas here.

A darkly potent piece of work from one of the finest directors in the rich history of French cinema.

There could so easily have been something great here, dammit!

Shows that Pixar still have much of that old magic left.

The whole film zooms colourfully by, the action erupting from nowhere, the camera constantly on the move, whipping from incident to incident like a crazed horsefly.

A must-see film - even more so today.

An amusing farce even if it does falter at times.

The chaotic, desperate, do-or-die nature of the film’s production is reflected perfectly in what is up on screen...

Fascinatingly dark maybe, stomach-churningly unpleasant certainly, a richly vivid historical account most definitely.

It’s the finest anti-racist film ever made. Do the right thing and make sure you see it.

A predictable and mild action film.

Anyone with either passion for art or who is looking for a beautifully relaxing method to while away the time should get hold of this disc.

Definitely one of the stronger true crime-inspired films out there.

McDonagh’s characters, for all of their faults, are multifaceted and undeniably human.

An unusual horror film from its period in that it largely emphasises a believable script and implied horrors...

A nice tribute to a young man who was clearly a rare and gifted talent.

While Goodman is definitely the star here, the younger cast members do well enough to make their characters engaging.

A film that fully deserves its plaudits and counts as an essential piece of education...

A sprawling gangster epic with as much attention to fine detail as their is to portraying the inevitable violent acts.

There’s so much sick, twisted entertainment here that the cheap look can be forgiven.

It will undoubtedly appeal to buffs of Italian arthouse cinema, albeit mainly for curiosity value.

Videodrome is perhaps the most thematically rich and visually audacious of the lot...

Exciting, twisted, hilarious and subtly erotic.

There is a genuine affection for the characters that just about any viewer, whether they love rock, or they hate it, can readily latch onto.
