fenrisfil — Thu, 21 Aug 2025 13:47:35 +0000

While I don’t normally review TV shows, I simply have too much to say about the new Disney Plus Alien franchise show from Noah Hawley, to just let it slide. So this will be a discussion and review of the firsts three episodes. I may do an update after episodes 4-6 have landed. This will …

Hollywood rarely does original these days and comedy reboots are becoming increasingly common. So it was only a matter of time before someone tried to reboot “The Naked Gun” (1988). I hear you saying “Reboot the naked Gun? Surely you can’t be serious?” and to which I say “That gag doesn’t work in text form …

Superman (2025)

The moment has finally come for James Gunn’s relaunch of the shared DC cinematic universe. Starting like the previous incarnation with the introduction of Superman. Unlike Snyder’s version and unlike the MCU, this isn’t starting with a world that doesn’t know superheroes. Marvel built up slowly from Iron Man, bringing in heroes one by one. …

These days it is never considered too late for a sequel. So it’s not a shock to see Danny Boyle and Alex Garland dig up their “28” franchise. Its been 23 years since the pair launched the series with “28 Days Later” in 2002. The first sequel “28 Weeks Later” came out in 2007. Boyle …

Review Roundup – May 2025

Spring quite definitely here. I had a quiet month in April here on Screen-Wolf. I didn’t want to touch Snow white with a barge pole and Minecraft seemed more meme than movie. May is likely going to be quiet too. However, I’ve still got a few recent releases to look at. These are all pretty …

Electric State (2025)

fenrisfil — Thu, 03 Apr 2025 19:30:44 +0000

Today I am reviewing the huge £320m budget “Electric State” movie from the Russo brothers on Netflix. It’s worth noting as these Netflix movies usually go straight to streaming or just have a limited release. That means they don’t need to spend the extra 50% of the production costs for P&A. This may explain why …

“The Gorge” comes to us from Skydance and Apple TV and is from horror director Scott Derrickson and action movie writer Zach Dean. Derrickson has a strong pedigree in horror with films such as “The Black Phone”, “The Exorcism of Emily Rose” and “Sinister” to his name. He also did pretty well with the first …

“Mickey 17” is the latest movie from writer/director Bong Joon-Ho. It is his first feature as sole writer, though the movie is an adaption of the novel “Mickey 7” by Edward Ashton.

Werewolf Triple Bill – Part II

fenrisfil — Tue, 18 Feb 2025 12:36:29 +0000

The full moon is up again here at Screen-Wolf, so it’s time for another werewolf triple bill. I think I’ve finally washed the bad taste of “Wolf Man” (2025) out of my mouth, so this will be the last one for now. Here are three more reviews of this difficult to pull off sub-genre of …
