One Mann’s Movies
Pixie (15): Once Upon a Time in the West… of Ireland.
One Mann’s Movies review of “Pixie”: a Sligo-based spaghetti western with Alec Baldwin as a “deadly gangster priest”. What’s not to love!? 4/5.
The Trial of the Chicago 7 (15): a triumph for Sorkin.
One Mann’s Movies Film Review of “The Trial of the Chicago 7”: a masterclass in historical court room drama from the master of the genre – Aaron Sorkin. 5/5.
Love “On the Rocks” (12)? Ain’t no surprise!
One Mann’s Movies Film Review of “On the Rocks”: delicious comedy on marital suspicions from Sofia Coppola. Bill Murray’s on top form. 4.5/5.
Endless (12A): A Ghost “Ditto” – but without the star quality
“Endless” is a “Ghost” retread with a teen-love backstory. A good concept, but we are well into B-movie territory here. 2/5.
