The Duellists
(1977)
|
Eddie Harrison
|
…a handsome, thoughtful movie that was completely out of step with what audiences wanted in 77…underseen and underrated, The Duellists stands as a key film in Ridley Scott’s cinematic development…

Seems Like Old Times
(1980)
|
Eddie Harrison
|
…as the generic title suggests, this kind of rom-com feels like a throwback now, more acceptable because the cliches are less frequently aired. With a strong comic trio at the centre, and obvious comedy situations, it's a pleasant, undramatic watch….

The Sheep Detectives

…with an incredible vocal cast and some amusing creature animation, the takeaway for The Sheep Detectives is that it works like a charm….an animal Agatha Christie story for dyed-in-the-wool mystery lovers….

(1967)

Stone Cold Fox
(2025)
|
Eddie Harrison

…Stone Cold Fox a perfectly acceptable Saturday-night movie, with its heart in the right place and a young, energetic cast making this less of a a hard-crime thriller than a female Superbad-style tall-story, with a fun bad-guy turn from Kiefer Sutherland…

The Devil Wears Prada 2

The Nightcomers
(1972)
|
Eddie Harrison

Michael Winner's The Nightcomers has never looked better than it does in 4K, with Marlon Brando contributing a wildly indisciplined but fun performance, Stephanie Beacham doing yeoman work, and a dank, creepy atmosphere that’s well done…

The Exorcist III
(1990)

Greenland 2: Migration
(2026)

Highway to Hell
(1991)

Michael

Flip Side of Dominick Hide
