Bad Reputation (2018)

There’s no denying that the world of rock and roll is historically one that has been dominated by men, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, AC/DC, The Who, the list goes on and on and on. That doesn’t mean, though, that women haven’t managed to factor themselves in to this boy’s club. There have…

Bohemian Rhapsody (2018)

As a Brit and a music lover, I am more than comfortable with pronouncing that, without a doubt, Freddie Mercury was (and will continue to be) the greatest frontman of all time. The music of Queen is intrinsically woven in to all of our histories whether you profess to be a fan of the band…

Halloween (2018)

If you thought that the long and storied history of the Halloween franchise was confusing enough already, how about a direct sequel to the 1978 original that retcons every single one of the subsequent instalments and, to top it all off, has exactly the same name?

First Man (2018)

There are few things that capture your imagination as a child quite like the thought of a man landing on the moon. With missions to Mars and even further space exploration just over the horizon, it is strange to think that Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin set foot on that white circle in the sky…

A Star Is Born (2018)

What started in 2011 as a Clint Eastwood directed picture starring Beyonce, has turned up on our cinema screens in 2018 as a Bradley Cooper directing/acting dual project with Lady Gaga in centre stage. Of course, that is…

Operation Finale (2018)

You know the drill by now here at Oh! That Film Blog. Nine times out of ten, in the week when a big Marvel release happens, I can’t resist the temptation to look the other way. In my defence this time, it seems like Venom hasn’t been getting the usual fanfare that the studio has…

The Wife (2017)

They say that as you get older, you are supposed to slow down in life, but Glenn Close obviously didn’t get the memo. The legendary actress, now 71 years of age, has made credited appearances in ten films over the last four years, but arguably the last time she received real critical praise in a…
