I've been thinking about Grosse Pointe Blank  a lot lately. Specifically, the scene in which Jeremy Piven repeatedly screams "TEN YEARS!!!" at John Cusack. Now you may be wondering why. Or, maybe not. Maybe you figured it out before you clicked the link. The point is, I don’t see another goddamn movie blogger, so pipe down. Anyway... ten years ago today, The Movie Moustache  went live. Although it was Moustache Movie News  back then. It all started with a little post about the then upcoming Jurassic World  sequel - what would turn out to be Fallen Kingdom   - and whether they should stop. Needless to say, they did not listen, as we've had three  Jurassic  sequels since then. And ten years later, even though I have enjoyed some of those sequels, I'm still wondering how many more dino adventures they could or should get out of this prehistoric franchise. But that's not the only milestone we've passed in the last decade. My favourite movie,  Ba...

Acting on an anonymous tip, a Tactical Narcotics Team from the Miami Police Department carry out a raid on a house. There they discover roughly $20 million dollars hidden in a wall. Regulations require that the money be counted on site, before moving it to a secure location. But given that the house is in the middle of cartel territory, tensions begin to rise. And things go from bad to worse when it becomes clear that the intentions of certain team members may not be totally admirable. What do you do, as a cop, when your beloved colleague is murdered, and you're both in the frame for it, and unable to investigate yourself? You and your team go raid a potential stash house. That's what this particular band of veteran narcotics cops do, anyway. Joe Carnahan's latest cop drama is based (loosely) on the life of his friend Chris Casiano, a Miami cop. Casiano did apparently find $20 million stashed in a house during a raid, but that's about as close as the movie gets to reali...

A former soldier begins a frantic search for her son when he inexplicably disappears inside the US Consulate in Frankfurt. Trouble is, the powers that be within the consulate either don't believe her, or are actively seeking to obstruct her. So she will have to fight to stay free long enough to find him. Exterritorial  begins with a rather relatable and horrifying scenario; the disappearance of a child. Almost instantly the tension begins to crank up, as Sara (Jeanne Goursaud) - a veteran with PTSD - attempts to find her son in a place that is not only alien to her, it's inaccessible. Christian Zübert does a pretty good job of putting you on edge with a sense that something isn't quite right. Only it's unclear whether that something is with the consulate or with Sara, herself. Regardless, it's not long before she kicks into action, utilising her particular set of skills as she hunts for her son and those who took him in this Taken meets Die Hard  scenario. Jeanne G...

Adolescence  charts the impact and aftermath of the stabbing of a teenage girl. Beginning with the operation to arrest the main suspect, each episode flows in a seamless one-shot. This bold approach makes it feel like the story is occupying a living space, as if there's an actual world out there, rather than what's happening right in front of us. Instead of passing from one scene to another we follow the different characters through their day, or at least their part of the story. Far from your typical crime drama, Adolescence  is more like a dramatic public information film. Highlighting the dangers of knives, the internet and social media. It's a warning, both to teenagers and parents that this is a growing problem, one that causes wide-spread devastation. In fact, Adolescence  feels so incredibly real and hard-hitting that I wouldn't be surprised if it becomes a kind of educational tool. This is what you show your kids if you're worried about them getting involved...

Set in an alternate 1990's, in which a robot uprising has been crushed, and the people experience life through VR headsets. When Michelle (Millie Bobby Brown), an orphan who lost her family in a car crash, encounters a strange robot, it sets her on a journey to find her long lost brother. Along the way she'll team up with smuggler, Keats (Chris Pratt) and his robot pal, Herm (Anthony Mackie). The Russos' latest project for Netflix  may be rather expensive - one of the most expensive movies ever made - but that hasn't really translated into anything significant. The Electric State  is a fun adventure flick with likeable characters and some stunning visuals. Strange to say, but the fact the robots look so incredibly real is the one thing that makes it possible to immerse yourself in this world - that and their quirky interactions with our two human heroes. However, the movie is far from anything spectacular - apart from the aforementioned visuals - and it would certainly ...

Los Angeles International Airport on Christmas Eve. For most a nightmare place to be. But for TSA Officer Ethan Kopek (Taron Egerton), it’s about to get a whole lot worse. An unknown assailant (Jason Bateman) has Ethan in his sights, and unless he allows a certain item of luggage through airport security, Ethan’s girlfriend Nora (Sofia Carson) dies.   Firstly, it’s important to note that Carry-On is not related to the famous series of British comedy films. Sid James is not going to pop out of a suitcase, or anything else, for that matter. Although I have been enjoying the references, jokes and memes that the title has inspired.   Thankfully however, Carry-On is a tense thriller that harks back to classics like Speed and Phonebooth … if – and it’s a big if – you’re willing to take it with a tremendous bucket of salt. Before you get to the thrill ride, the movie asks you to accept quite a lot. I mean, we’re talking Home Alone levels of ‘just go along with it’. But if you can...

The now infamous Axel Foley (Eddie Murphy) is still cracking wise and cracking down on criminals in Motor City, USA. But when his daughter, Jane (Taylour Paige) - a defence lawyer in Los Angeles - takes on a case involving a dead cop and a suspect claiming he was framed, her life is threatened. So for the first time in a long time he's headed back to that other city that has fallen victim to his antics, Beverly Hills. Forty years after Beverly Hills Cop and Axel Foley first hit the big screen, the loudmouth Detroit cop is back to bring some more excitement to the high society lifestyle of Beverly Hills. Part nostalgia trip, part whole new adventure for the renegade cop, Axel F  is a definite return to form for the franchise. Not that this is a particularly high bar, considering the pitiful disappointment that is Beverly Hills Cop III . This new outing is nothing new, nothing ground-breaking, but it is everything we love about  Beverly Hills Cop . And while it doesn't quite rea...
