With its powerhouse performance from Lee Marvin as a man relentlessly seeking retribution in a modernist LA, Point Blank holds its own against Antonioni and Roeg, writes Alexander Ballinger.

Having recovered from the exertions of Bangkok in Part II, the Wolf Pack return to Vegas for what we’re promised will be the final instalment in the wildly successful comedy franchise. Please, let it be so, implores Mike McCahill.

The latest digimation to pass along the Fox factory line peers into the forest to chart a battle between the forces of nature and decay. Pretty though it is, it doesn’t really live up to its title, says Mike McCahill.
on 23rd May
Spaghetti western meets blaxploitation in Tarantino's irreverent, bloody and entertaining film that sees Jamie Foxx's freed slave try to rescue his wife from a merciless plantation owner.

Today: Todd Haynes and Ozu. Sadly not collaborating (which would be a bit difficult to be honest).
James Oliver on 22nd May / comments

Michael R. Roskam, 2011
This eccentric Belgian thriller, starring Rust and Bone’s Matthias Schoenaerts as a steroid-dosed farmer, is a bold foray into the dark areas of the male psyche, writes Mike McCahill.
Henri-Georges Clouzot, 1942
Pierre Fresnay's inspector is led to an eccentric boarding house in his search for a serial killer in Clouzot's dark comedy thriller. It's beautifully crafted, writes Alexander Ballinger.
Budd Boetticher, 1960
The last film in the Budd Boetticher / Randolph Scott Ranown Cycle is a fitting swansong. Sad and elegiac, it's full of warmth and wisdom, but touched with melancholia, writes Rick Burin.
