What To Watch: The Conspiracy (2012)

Christopher MacBride won’t have had any clue how prescient his 2012 film The Conspiracy would become. It arrived before the presidency of Donald Trump, and the POTUS’s relentless attack on mainstream media, by design diverting attention to fringe political commentators and sociopaths pushing nefarious theories.

What To Watch: Romper Stomper (1992)

Romper Stomper is an aesthetic tour de force.

RoboCop fails to live up to the qualities of the original film says Top 10 Films critic Daniel Stephens - read the full review here.

Does the Jose Padilha's RoboCop remake work with its watered down, videogame violence? Is this sort of violence actually worse than Paul Verhoeven's graphically bloody original because of how desensitized we become to it...?

On remakes and reboots: Ultimately, the American film industry is playing it as safe as possible in an economic climate of uncertainty and under the strain of a market coming to terms with quickly developing technology. Unlike the era of Jaws and Star Wars where the public had to get in a car and travel to a theatre to see a movie, today we are as likely to watch the latest release digitally streamed onto the three-inch screen of a mobile phone, watching our selected feature in bite-size chunks while riding on the train.
