*** Read my Hunter Killer review & check out my submarine movies section *** Gerard Butler is Joe Glass, a submarine captain who has to find the Russian president who’s been kidnapped during a coup. I’m assuming it’s not their current president, as Vladimir Putin being taken by anyone is highly unlikely, even if he was already simultaneously… Hunter Killer Trailer – Avoid The Geostorms, Take Refuge Underwater With Gerard Butler Read More
Ekaj 3.5 stars
The relationship between the young Ekaj (Jake Mestre) and the older Mecca (Badd Idea) is central to writer-director Cati Gonzalez’s movie. It gives warmth and structure to this story about two young gay Puerto Rican men, struggling to survive in that harshest of environments, New York City. But it’s also one that threatens to become… Ekaj Read More
Precognition 3 stars
A battle rages in a wood, as soldiers on the ground engage in a futile struggle against an airborne assault. It’s a noisy, jarring introduction with screams and explosions. But most striking is writer-director Luke Tedder’s disjointed and disruptive filming of the fighting – leaving us the audience as disoriented as the soldiers being attacked…. Precognition Read More
Beast Of Burden 2 stars
A beast of burden is usually a mule, and that’s actually what pilot Sean Haggerty (Daniel Radcliffe) is; a mule for a violent cartel, running drugs over the Mexican border. He’s also burdened with much more though, and has got himself caught in a mesh of interlocking dangers that are gradually crushing him. Sean is… Beast Of Burden Read More
The Glass trailer has arrived! Insert Shattering / Reflective / Window On The Soul Puns Here
Wow. Glass looks class. Terrifying, shocking, edge-of-seat class. The latest film from M Night Shayamalan, it follows on from last year’s scary Split, and features Sarah Paulson as a psychiatrist specialising in treating people with delusions of grandeur – specifically those who believe themselves to be superheroes. Cut to her in an echoey hall, facing three… The Glass trailer has arrived! Insert Shattering / Reflective / Window On The Soul Puns Here Read More
Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again 4 stars
I’ve anointed this a four-star movie, and that’s despite it having no plot, and mostly so-so songs (as so many of the best-known classics were utilised in the first film). So why four out of five? Well in my eyes it’s basically a two-star experience, but I’ve given it a whole extra star for the… Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again Read More
Secret Of Marrowbone 3 stars
“He’ll never leave us. Not even dead” cries Jane (Mia Goth), about their evil father, a vicious brute who will try to kill anyone, even his children. Their terror is palpable, which makes one wonder why their mother took them to the one place he’d look for them outside of England – her childhood home,… Secret Of Marrowbone Read More
Tattoo Girls 3.5 stars
“Life is extremely fragile and only given for a certain amount of time” says a young woman who wants to be a mortuary beautician. It’s artifice to make the dead look as near to their living selves as possible, once that spark has gone, and to make life easier for those left behind. You could… Tattoo Girls Read More

The Code (Short Film) Short Film 4 stars
*** Read my interview with director of The Code, Patrick Ryder *** Three British soldiers, one horribly injured, come across a wounded German, still attached to the silk parachute which is splayed out across a tree trunk lying on the forest floor. The German he utters remains mostly un-translated. He can speak English though, and… The Code (Short Film) Read More

2:Hrs 2.5 stars
2:HRS is odd. Definitely quirky, sometimes befuddling, with lots left, intriguingly, hanging. At times it feels rather like one of those occasional Doctor Who episodes which has no Doctor in them, a sort-of sci fi tale set identifiably in the UK with ordinary people having to step up when life surprises them. Tim (Harry Jarvis) is… 2:Hrs Read More
