Kiss of the Spider Woman
(2025)
|
Eddie Harrison
|
‘…the interplay between the two men in jail is persuasively caught, but it’s the pastiche movie sequences with take the breath away, with Jennifer Lopez simply sensational in two roles that give her song and dance skills an absolute workout…’

Lee Cronin's The Mummy
(2026)
|
Eddie Harrison
|
…The Mummy feels like it’s a stealth sequel set in the usual Evil Dead universe; this is very hard R, but should appeal to those who like their possession stories with buckets of blood, gore and …black ooze. Just don’t go looking for Brendan Fraser…

Eddie Harrison

...a raunchy comedy about bros, football, cocaine, gay panic, and whatever the Amazon algorithm suggested might grab the attention of young men…doesn’t deliver the kind of laugh rate its scattershot aim requires…

John Carpenter's Escape From L.A.
(1996)
|
Eddie Harrison
|
…if it’s not as good as the original, Escape from LA still greases the wheels enough to keep us sweet for a return to Plissken’s way of doing things; not buying anyone’s Kool Aid, thinking for himself, screwing over authority every single chance he gets…

Escape From New York
(1981)

Flip Side of Dominick Hide
(1980)
|
Eddie Harrison
|
...a Play for Today that’s like a Dr Who On Earth adventure if Richard Curtis was hired to give it a 1980 make-over. Yes, it’s dated, but that dated quality also gives it a unique charm; they really don’t make anything like this these days.

...there’s a high curiosity value of watching such a motely crew of actors; it might come up short of horror, but The Haunting is a strange document of old and Hollywood collectively bending over to make a buck.

The Thing 2011 has a strong, moody atmosphere, some wild jump scares, some decent tension, and does feel like a loving tribute to the original film. It’s one case where it would be interesting to see a director’s cut...
