*** Read my interview with Mobile Homes director Vladimir De Fontenay *** It’s part of the mythology of America that everyone can move on, starting afresh somewhere new, the slate wiped clean. Everybody deserves a second, third of fourth chance, even if in practice it often doesn’t work out that way for the very people… Mobile Homes Read More
Whitney 4 stars
A newsreader says of Whitney early in her career “it’ll take an act of Congress to keep this woman from becoming a megastar”. It’s easy to think in retrospect that a famous and ultimately tragic figure followed an immutable trajectory upwards to huge success before spiralling down to disaster; but that often only serves to… Whitney Read More
Tag 3 stars
They’ve tagged each other during a funeral. They’ve tagged each other during labour. Births, deaths – why not tag each other at a marriage too? Five middle-aged men have been playing Tag for 30 years, with the whole month of May each year dedicated to the game. It’s a way for them to cement their… Tag Read More

Adrift 3 stars
I’ll say straight off that Shailene Woodley is terrific in Adrift. She shines as real-life sailor Tami Oldham – determined yet full of self-doubt, footloose yet bound to one person – marooned on a drifting boat in the Pacific in the early 1980s. I’m also going to say straight off that I’m going to spoiler… Adrift Read More
Winter Ridge 3 stars
*** My interview with Winter Ridge director Dom Lenoir *** “As the sun dims so too can consciousness” says Joanne Hill (Game Of Thrones‘ Hannah Waddingham), dementia specialist and host of a group for local sufferers, talking about that time when dusk falls. It’s an evolutionary trait we all have but it is heightened in… Winter Ridge Read More

Madeline’s Madeline Trailer – A Teenager’s Reality Is Blurring
If you think movie trailers tend to be dull affairs which give away the whole plot check out the new teaser for Madeline’s Madeline, below. Teenagers’ realities often become blurred – I genuinely believed Roger Taylor from Duran Duran was going to marry me back in the mid 1980s (way off-topic but have you seen… Madeline’s Madeline Trailer – A Teenager’s Reality Is Blurring Read More
A Second Trailer For The Predator…
*** Read my review of The Predator *** …and doesn’t that sound better than “the The Predator second trailer”. “Predators don’t just sit around making hats out of ribcages – they conquered space” says an ominous-sounding Sterling K Brown, currently listed only as Government Agent. Though if they are still making hats out of ribcages, there… A Second Trailer For The Predator… Read More
All Between Us 2 stars
This dinner-party-from-hell movie was made in 2010, but is only now, eight years later, getting a home entertainment release – presumably to cash in on co-star Tiffany Haddish’s phenomenal (and well-deserved) success. I’ll admit until I realised when the film was made I was rather mystified regarding Haddish’s involvement. It’s a story that has some… All Between Us Read More
Eaten By Lions 3.5 stars
*** Check out my video interviews with the cast and my written interview with director Jason Wingard *** In Eaten By Lions the mum and dad/stepdad of brothers Pete (Jack Carroll) and Omar (Antonio Aakeel) suffer exactly that fate, and I won’t deny it’s a relief not to have to labour over a movie title’s meaning. You could argue… Eaten By Lions Read More
