“It’s a woman’s fate” says young Joanna’s mother, when asked why her husband does so little to help in the house, but for him it justifies much more than avoiding the household chores. “Says who?” asks her daughter. “Says the Bible”. Learning from her mother’s experience, Joanna decides not to turn the other cheek, but it… Brimstone Read More
Den Of Thieves 4 stars
At 140 minutes long, while you’re watching Den Of Thieves there will have been three bank robberies in Los Angeles. That’s one every 48 minutes. It genuinely doesn’t feel overlong though, and I say that as someone who firmly believes that all Gerard Butler films over two hours should have pelvic floor exercises on the… Den Of Thieves Read More
Ant-Man & The Wasp Trailer: Insert “Gets You Buzzing” Joke Here (Keep It Clean, Please)
“Hold on. You gave her wings?” asks Scott Lang. “And blasters” replies Hank Pym. “So I take it you didn’t have that tech available for me?” “No, I did.” The trailer for Ant-Man And The Wasp, sequel to 2015’s Marvel Studios’ hit Ant-Man, is here – featuring Paul Rudd as Scott Lang / Ant-Man, Evangeline… Ant-Man & The Wasp Trailer: Insert “Gets You Buzzing” Joke Here (Keep It Clean, Please) Read More

Unsane Trailer Will Make U Doubt Everythung
*** Check out my (rather spoilery) Unsane review now *** “Do you know how many calls the cops get like that every week?” asks Scary Nurse at the psychiatric hospital when Sawyer Valentini, kept there against her will, phones the police to ask for help. “Those are from crazy people…” Sawyer replies. The trailer for… Unsane Trailer Will Make U Doubt Everythung Read More
Early Man 3.5 stars
It’s not often we get a movie that explains two of the most seismic and important events in all of history within the first few minutes. But Early Man, the latest film from Aardman Animation, does just that; starting with the extinction of the dinosaurs and morphing swiftly into the invention of the Beautiful Game…. Early Man Read More
Downsizing 3 stars
Downsizing could have been a burning satire on social save-the-planet activism being twisted to support the newly idle, newly rich. But instead it becomes an apocalyptic tale about the power of love. Which is all very well but has nothing to do with being small, apart from only needing an ark from Toys ‘R’ Us…. Downsizing Read More
Shark Exorcist 1 stars
So bad even Satan has taken himself off the credits, I actually wanted to give this half a star but my review template will only allow a minimum of one star. So, I can only assume the developers have never seen Shark Exorcist. I wasn’t sure what Shark Exorcist would be about and to be… Shark Exorcist Read More
The Commuter 3 stars
There’s almost no tension. It plays like several different genre movies one after the other. And that guy who scares the hell out of you on the train, ignoring all your leave-me-alone signals? Well that’s the hero. But yes, I did enjoy The Commuter. A cautionary tale about conversing with strangers on public transport, imagine… The Commuter Read More
The King’s Choice 4 stars
The actual German invasion is swift, though not entirely unexpected. A battleship sails into the Straits of Norway, the home forces attack, and a huge ship burns orange against an inky blue night sky. It’s an impressive initial volley, and also a heartbreaking last stand, as more German warships follow it into Norwegian waters. A… The King’s Choice Read More
The Post 4 stars
“The first rough draft of history” says Kay Graham, quoting her late husband Phil about the news. Phil killed himself years before, leading to Kay taking over the reins of her family’s newspaper, The Washington Post. Set in the early 1970s, director Steven Spielberg’s latest, The Post, is about events that will be much more… The Post Read More
New Trailer: Don’t Worry, He Won’t Get Far On Foot
We’ve now got a trailer for this Joaquin Phoenix starrer, based on the book of the same name by cartoonist John Callahan, who took up drawing after an accident and was known for his black and macabre humour. There’s very little to go on from this teaser (I’m calling it a teaser as there’s very… New Trailer: Don’t Worry, He Won’t Get Far On Foot Read More
