LATEST MIDLANDS REVIEWS
The sound of a noisy hoover is the unlikely beginning of a new film from first-time filmmaker Nicholas Georghiou. A short about domestic help, the film explores a strange situation in a hotel room where all is not what it seems.
Naphat Boonyaprapa previously directed the excellent – if niche – documentary Red Black Green about local table tennis star Connor Green. Now, turning his attention to fiction, his latest short is a tender examination of loneliness and friendship.
Not judging a book by its cover. That’s the premise for this snappy period comedy from writer directors Michael and Rafe Bird. It opens on a bard (Joseph Emms) who is on the run from law in the 16th or 17th century (various bits of press around the film can’t seem to decide on which) when a supposed wood nymph interrupts proceedings.
Local Midlands animator James Pyle enters 2025 with a selection of three new films and Midlands Movies takes a look at this collection of comedy shorts from the filmmaker.
LATEST CINEMA & HOME RELEASES
Days became weeks. Weeks Became years. In 28 Years Later the rage virus that infected the United Kingdom has evolved, creating new types of zombies that are more brutal and merciless than before.
Released in 1975 at the height of their fame, Wolverhampton band Slade decided that despite their joyous glam rock stylings, a fun playful knockaround film musical romp in the style of A Hard Day’s Night was not what they were looking for creatively.
Shane Black has written his fair share of witty dialogue, buddy-cop movies and his trademark flourishes are on full show in a new special edition release of this 1977-set noir comedy about private detectives investigating a missing girl.
Well, bi-Adolf Hitler BDSM is not something (a) I thought I’d ever see 5 minutes into a movie and (b) ever expected to write in my lifetime to be fair but this spicy start is pretty standard for the work of exploitation filmmaker Russ Meyer.
Watch the full Midlands short MOLINA
Filmed on location in Leicester, MOLINA tells the story of a man and a woman who reconnect in a quiet pub, but with a tense mood their story unfolds as discoveries reveal how their lives became entwined in a foreboding tale of recreational technology run amok.
Producer / Writer / Director: Rich Chambers
