UK Film Review Podcast

On this movie podcast episode, we have the latest movie reviews of: Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, September 5, Flight Risk, Kinda Pregnant. We have indie film reviews of White Crow, The Space Rodent, Photocopy, and What No One Knows. As well as a nostalgia review of a certain Mel Gibson film that won Best Picture 30 years ago! In White Crow, Julian Gamm plays ex-agent J.D who is on a mission to avenge his misdeeds as an operative in a shady government unit after he learns of the depths of their evil. Whilst trying to take out various members of his former agency, he becomes hunted in return and goes on the run with unwitting do-gooder Emma (Hanna Al Rashid), who saves his bacon on more than a few occasions.In The Space Rodent, best friends and fellow layabouts Mac (Robert Carrera) and Dean (David Minard) hang out at home whilst their partners Amanda (Leah Barnard) and Skylar (Shelby Broadnax) head out on a drive. But trick or treaters are the least of their worries when giant monstrous rats from out of space travel through a wormhole in search of a new home. After a gruesome home invasion, the gang must gather together and use whatever weapons they can find to fight off the invasion.Photocopy (2023) is no ordinary psychological thriller. Clocking in at under 13 minutes, one would expect a short film about a lone photographer to be more mellow, perhaps even meandering; but this New York-set exploration of one man’s mental decline packs a strong punch. It’s unashamedly stylish and disorienting, though always engaging, and patiently incorporates surreal ideas into the mix as it progresses. Our protagonist (played by Dane Clarke II in a mostly silent performance) wanders the streets in search of that perfect shot but starts to spot a figure that peculiarly resembles himself.What No Know One Knows follows the passing of her parents as a child, Oriyomi moves to Nigeria from Britain, where she befriends Ifelolu. The two of them develop a strong bond and grow up together, ending up owning an events management business. Eventually, Oriyomi meets and marries Akinola (Mofe Duncan), while Ifelolu marries Efosa (Enyinna Nwigwe). Eventually, problems arise within both couples, as Akinola is determined to father a son and Efosa wants a child, while Ifelolu does not. Hoping to avoid further issues, the two friends come up with an idea that might end up ruining their lives.Join film critics Brian Penn and Chris Olson for this episode of UK Film Club.

On this horror film podcast episode, host Rachel dives deep into the classic war movie Schindler's List. Part of the UK Film Review Podcast, be sure to check out our latest movie reviews and other film podcast episodes wherever you like to listen. Schindler's List, from a horror film fan's perspective, transcends the typical tropes of the genre, delving into the realm of historical horror. The film masterfully crafts an atmosphere of dread and suspense, not through jump scares or supernatural elements, but through the stark portrayal of real-world atrocities.The true horror lies in the systematic dehumanization and extermination of a people, depicted with unflinching realism. The film doesn't shy away from the brutality of the Holocaust, showcasing the violence and degradation inflicted upon the Jewish population. The iconic scene of the liquidation of the Krakow ghetto is a masterclass in tension building, as the camera captures the chaos and terror from multiple perspectives, leaving the viewer with a profound sense of unease.The film's black-and-white cinematography further amplifies the sense of bleakness and despair, creating a stark contrast between the vibrant life that once existed and the grim reality of Nazi occupation. The use of shadows and light adds to the film's unsettling atmosphere, mirroring the moral ambiguities and hidden dangers that lurk beneath the surface.While Schindler's List is not a traditional horror film, it shares many of the genre's key elements. It creates a sense of unease, elicits visceral reactions, and leaves a lasting impact on the viewer. The film's horror lies not in the supernatural or fictional, but in the very real capacity for human cruelty and the fragility of human life.
