Greta (2019) is a dark urban feminist fairy tale masquerading as a B-movie potboiler.
Neil Jordan has taken the streets of New York City and turned them into the sinister forest of a dark urban fairy tale only this time, it’s the evil witch herself leaving the trail of breadcrumbs across the city – in the form of emerald green handbags – all the better to lure the unwary children to her home for (spiked) milk and cookies. It riffs on fairy tale tropes from Hansel and Gretel to Sleeping Beauty, with the magnificent (maleficent?) Isabelle Huppert weaving her terrible and terribly camp spell at the core of this poisoned Big Apple...

A fitting conclusion.
The original Creed was an incredible movie, so of course one has to head into the sequel with reservations that they couldn't possibly tell a story as compelling as the first. The film hits the ground running and never lets up telling three parallel stories that combine into one amazing journey. The film also beautifully never forgets or betrays its roots. Stallone knows the story his characters and the story he wants to tell with them. His Rocky beautifully compliments the brilliant and layered performance by Michael B. Jordan. If this is indeed the final chapter of Rocky series, it's a beautiful work of art to close the over 4-decade odyssey.

The tagline, I believe, for this read something like "Big meets Bigger"

It could just as easily have read "Dumb meets Dumber"

Actually, now that I think about it: that's probably unfair: there's nothing dumb about knowing your audience!

(Loosely) based on the old 1980s arcade game of the same name, this sees Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson playing primatologist Davis Okoye, who - for plot reasons - gets caught up in what (essentially) amounts to a Monster showdown in downtown Chicago, with the monsters scaling tall building and destroying half the city in the process while the military vainly tries to stop them.

You know, just like the coin-up?

Basically, this a B-movie writ large, and knows it!

"Anyone who has ever had the pleasure of meeting Richard Gordon and his brother Alex (who passed away a few years ago) knows what a rich vein of film history the brothers represent. A conversation with either might include stories of producing films with the likes of Ed Wood, Gene Autry, Bela Lugosi, Boris Karloff, and B-movie director Eddie Cahn, to name just a few. As a producer, Dick’s best-known work is the fondly remembered low-budget science-fiction staple Fiend Without a Face. It’s a great tribute to the Gordon brothers that Criterion has released not only Fiend but also the four films included in the Monsters and Madmen box set."
