Posted by Paul Klein - December 2, 2020

Each month, we at FilmHounds take a look at a director’s back catalogue and pick their lowest rated film on Rotten Tomatoes and ask ourselves – why? Why is it their least loved among critics? Regardless, we attempt to see the good in it. This Month: Steven Spielberg’s HOOK (1991) Rating: 20% “I’d like to

“There Is A Chance, You Are Our Chance” – The One and Only Ivan (Film Review)

Posted by Tom Beasley - August 23, 2020

Disney does affectionate stories about talking animals better than anybody else. It seems that Disney+ is now becoming a vessel for the gentler examples of this end of the Mouse House's oevure. After last year's live-action remake of The Lady and the Tramp comes new adventure The One and Only Ivan. Helmed by Me Before

“It Fails To Recreate The Magic of Its Original Story and Soundtrack” – Frozen 2 (Blu-ray Review)

Posted by Humza Hussain - March 19, 2020

Six years after the blockbuster, Frozen, directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee reunited to bring us Frozen 2, which is once again led by the popular sister combo of Queen Elsa and Princess Anna.

Dumbo and Aladdin have both proved monster hits

“How Does Obama Have More Time For Indie Movies Than I Do?” – ‘Support the Girls’ writer-director Andrew Bujalski (The VH Interview)

Posted by Tom Beasley - June 21, 2019

Arriving in cinemas next week, Support the Girls is one of the most interesting and unique dramas of the year so far. Regina Hall stars as the manager of a Hooters-style 'breastaurant', in which customers congregate to drink beer and watch sport while ogling scantily-clad waitresses. But the film is anything but leery, and focuses

The Greyest Showman – Dumbo (Film Review)

Posted by Tom Beasley - March 26, 2019

Almost 80 years after it was first released – I know! – Dumbo stands out as something of an oddity in the Disney animation canon. It's only just over an hour long and is more remembered as a series of moments than it is as a coherent movie to which people have an emotional connection.
