I can’t be the only person watching Ocean’s 8 who thought Rose Weil’s flower-covered paniered frock, presumably based on those rich Regency ladies who liked to play at being milkmaids, was the best Met Gala look. Played by Helena Bonham Cartier, I mean Carter, Rose is a washed-up fashion designer known for her Edwardian frills… Ocean’s 8 Read More
The Lodgers 3 stars
1920, rural Ireland. Anglo Irish twins Rachel and Edward share a strange existence in their crumbling family estate. Each night, the property becomes the domain of a sinister presence… Note: I’ve put big spoilers and the ending at the bottom of the page, past the trailer. Enjoy! Grey, plain-fronted, with broken windows and billowing net… The Lodgers Read More
It Came From The Desert 3.5 stars
As B movies go this is a corker: knowing but not overwhelmingly meta, witty, with schlocky horror tropes tripping over each other. Aliens! Giant bugs! Meteorites! Something dodgy going on back in the 1950s! The only things missing are a few canisters of toxic waste and a Kevin Bacon cameo. Chuck those in and my… It Came From The Desert Read More

A Bad Idea Gone Wrong 3.5 stars
“This is the saddest heist in the long-storied history of crime” says first-time burglar Marlon as he and fellow future felon Leo attempt to escape from a house they’ve broken into and are now unable to leave.

Halloween Trailer: 40 Years On – Do You Still Believe In The Bogeyman?
“You don’t believe in the bogeyman? You should” says Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) ominously. And if I didn’t before this trailer, I sure as hell do now.
