Rating: PG-13 Stars: Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Olwen Fouéré, Oliver Finnegan, Alistair Brammer, John Lynch Writer: Ishana Night Shyamalan, based on the novel by A.M. Shine Director: Ishana Night Shyamalan Distributor: New Line/Warner Bros. Release Date: June 7, 2024 THE WATCHERS has its issues, like a desktop computer, supposedly from 2009, that looks like it’s from the early ‘90s, and an apartment that’s strangely empty when this isn’t a plot point. However, the biggest matter facing THE WATCHERS has nothing to do with the filmmaking prowess of writer/director Ishana Night Shyamalan in her feature debut, adapting A.M. Shine’s novel for […]Read On »

In early 1930s England, there’s a horrific murder/suicide of a vicar and his wife at Morley Hall. Anglican bishop Malachi (John Lynch), the vicar’s superior, […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: Eddie Redmayne, Sean Bean, Carice van Houten, Kimberley Nixon, John Lynch, Tim McInnerny, David Warner Writer: Dario Poloni Director: Christopher Smith Distributor: Magnet Releasing Release Date: March 11, 2011 To compare or not to compare? There’s a particular genre movie that BLACK DEATH brings to mind, but will naming it give the game away, or indeed lead readers to wrong assumptions about the new film? Since the subgenre of Christianity vs. paganism is relatively small, let’s say there are some thematic similarities to – along with striking differences from – the original WICKER MAN (put the miserable […]Read On »
