The new movie
Space Sweepers, which debuted on Netflix earlier this week and spent some time Monday and Tuesday on its Top Ten-most-watched list, has been touted as the first blockbuster space film to come out of South Korea.
After another South Korean film, Bong Joon-ho’s
Parasite, won the Best Picture Oscar last year,
Space Sweepers, while very different from Bong’s scabrous satire, is another film from that country that’s proving to find a large audience in the United States.

Every so often, I like to play a bad game. It s not so much that I enjoy playing the game itself, that s usually a bad experience - as you would expect from a bad game. What I like is the chance to vent about the game and the catharsis that brings. It s also a large positive that I get to warn away any potential victim from the possible mistake of parting money for such an aberration. If I haven t given it away, Orange Cast is not a game I m going to be recommending.

While Shaka King’s explosive new biopic is ostensibly the story of the life, death, and legacy of civil rights activist and Black Panther Chairman Fred Hampton, played by
Get Out’s Daniel Kaluuya, the true subject is not the so-called “Black Messiah” that FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover so vehemently feared, but the man who betrayed him: Former FBI informant and Black Panther bodyguard William O’Neal, portrayed by
Atlanta and
Knives Out star Lakeith Stanfield. A film nearly a decade in the making,
A Quiet Place, Film 4, 9pm One of the most inventive horror films for many a moon was directed and co-written by John Krasinski, star of the US version of The Office and the TV take on Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan. Krasinksi also appears in one of the lead roles here, alongside his real-life wife Emily Blunt. They play Lee and Evelyn Abbott who are battling to keep themselves and their children alive in terrifying circumstances: most of the world’s population has been wiped out by carnivorous blind creatures that are hypersensitive to noise, a trait which allows them to hone in on potential victims at super-fast speed. Matters come to a head for the Abbotts when pregnant Evelyn goes into labour while alone at the deserted house they now call home. Noah Jupe, the young British star who recently appeared in The Undoing, also stars. A sequel is set to be released later this year.
