Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle is the very definition of a good-natured romp. And if you are as useless at computer games as me, it’s probably the nearest you’ll ever get to genuinely understanding their appeal. Four kids are headed for detention, and seeing them sitting in a row outside the Principal’s office – the… Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle Read More

Come Back, It’s Not About Bingo! Check Out The New Bingo: The King Of The Mornings Trailer
Come on, you can never have too many clowns in films (says the grown woman still wibbling behind the sofa after watching IT). And this one has a cool colour scheme and doesn’t look like an undead Elizabeth I. Bingo: The King Of The Mornings is based on the true story of actor Augusto (Vladimir… Come Back, It’s Not About Bingo! Check Out The New Bingo: The King Of The Mornings Trailer Read More

The Muppet Christmas Carol 4 stars
This Victorian London is delightful, as we really want it to have been – with snowy cobbled streets and a population of muppets, by which I mean funny American muppets not the thousands of muppets I usually find when I visit our capital city in a hurry. The opening credits include From the novel by… The Muppet Christmas Carol Read More
Bad Santa 4 stars
Bad Santa may have come out in 2003, but it has held up remarkably well. In fact the only thing that gives its age away is – like Alien – that Willie Soke can smoke pretty much anywhere. I guess that the traditions of Christmas – the unflattering red and white suit, the annoying children,… Bad Santa Read More
Suburbicon 2.5 stars
Like the name of Suburbicon itself, the 1950s housing development where this story is set, this is a film made up of two separate elements that just don’t fit together. The 1950s period details are fun: the opening credits’ living breathing Suburbicon sales brochure, and the bold-patterned office fixtures and fittings, more than the oft-used… Suburbicon Read More

*** Check out the Super Bowl trailer for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (it’s better than this one, honestly) *** …not unlike a playdate at mine, where I watch everything being demolished by an out-of-control, hungry creature which then chases me into the kitchen where I hide, cowering, until its parents come to collect it, before… New Teaser For Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom Is 15 Seconds Of Mayhem… Read More
Battle Of The Sexes 4 stars
“Watch out guys, there’s no stopping this little lady!” says a reporter when tennis player Billie Jean King becomes the first female athlete to win more than $100,000 in prize money in one year, and it’s the response to that sexism, seeping not through not just the sport but through society, that Battle Of The… Battle Of The Sexes Read More
The Man Who Invented Christmas 4 stars
A Christmas Carol is so traditionally festive that we sometimes need reminding that the novel itself created much of that tradition. The Man Who Invented Christmas picks up the story of its author Charles Dickens, in 1843 – three years after the publication of the hugely successful Oliver Twist, sadly quickly followed by several flops….

The Avengers: Infinity War Trailer Is Here & I’ve Got A New Moustache
*** FINAL Avengers: Infinity War trailer is up now *** Not literally me. No, I take medication to prevent that. But this year has been the YEAR of the movie ‘tache what with Mindhorn, The Dream, Poirot, and Superman’s invisible one in Justice League. So it’s great to find a new moustache, stuck to Chris… The Avengers: Infinity War Trailer Is Here & I’ve Got A New Moustache Read More
New Life 2 stars
New Life – the title has several meanings that become clear as the story unfolds – isn’t saying anything new. But it is lifted by a nicely-pitched central performance from an actress who just gets better as her character is tested to the max. As a young boy Ben (Jonathan Patrick Moore) moves to the… New Life Read More
