Remembering “Lost” 18 Years after it first aired.
“Lost” first aired in September 2018, and became a firm favourite through its tortuous (and sometimes very frustrating) six series. It’s the series that put J.J. Abrams on the mainstream…
Hatching (15): A Finnish horror where ET meets the Brothers Grimm.
A One Mann’s Movies review of “Hatching” (2022). (Original title “Pahanhautoja”) This was the latest in Cineworld’s “Secret Screening” where the audience don’t know what the film will be before…
Beast (15): If I said I thought it was any good, I’d be Lion.
A One Mann’s Movies review of “Beast” (2022). Idris Elba really doesn’t have much luck with me with his feature films. I think he’s a wonderful actor… but some of…

A One Mann’s Movies review of “DC League of Super-Pets” (2022). After seeing lots of so-so reviews of the “DC League of Super-Pets”, I had very low expectations. I was…
Bullet Train (15): Snakes on a Train.
A One Mann’s Movies review of “Bullet Train” (2022). “Bullet Train” is a popcorn-munching summer action-comedy that is very loud, very violent and completely nonsensical. If this bullet train film…
The Railway Children Return (PG): Even with the Trains, it ends up pedestrian.
A One Mann’s Movies review of “The Railway Children Return” (2022). “The Railway Children Return” (note: interestingly, a movie with no opening title) is a sequel, 52 years later, to…
Where the Crawdads Sing (15): Life story of an Outsider.
A One Mann’s Movies review of “Where the Crawdads Sing” (2022). “Where the Crawdads Sing” is based on the bestselling novel by Delia Owens and has been getting a lot…
