Into the Inferno (2016)


An exploration of active volcanoes around the world.

Another Werner Herzog exploration of volcanoes with his usual fascinatingly quirky and idiosyncratic approach, complete with some breathtaking cinematography.

Unga Astrid (2018)


Biopic of Swedish writer Astrid Lindgren, the author of numerous children's books and creator of Pippi Longstocking.

This movie settles on a (rather dark) segment of the famous children's author's biography and does so with commitment, good period details and especially with some extraordinary performances.

Exeter (2015)


A group of teenagers accidentally release an evil spirit that starts to possess them one by one.

Another teenager-doing-stupid things horror flick picking every trick out of the box; messy and incoherent.

Jurassic World (2015)



A new theme park, built on the original site of Jurassic Park, creates a genetically modified hybrid dinosaur, which escapes containment and goes on a killing spree.

This sequel to the Jurassic Park series doesn't add much to the formula, but is nevertheless professionally handled entertainment and offers some fun - especially when you're rooting for the dinosaurs.

On rewatching: Enjoyable old-fashioned entertainment with up-to-date special effects.

Edipo Re (1967)



Based on the Greek tragedy about a man who, unaware of his true parentage, kills his father and marries his mother.

Engaging, slow-paced retelling of the Greek classic, beautifully set in Moroccan landscape, is framed within a modern story which barely corresponds to the historic tale.

Halliwell**: "Austerely involving adaptation of the Greek tragedy, sandwiched between scenes set in modern Italy."

Maltin**1/2: "Pictorially arresting but dull, disappointing adaptation..."
