My favourite line in Found Footage 3D, as I’m pretty meta too, is when lead actor Derek argues with his brother Mark, who’s announced he’s leaving the haunted cabin and taking Derek’s ex-wife and lead actress Amy with him. FEARnet’s Scott Weinberg is arriving for a set visit the next day and Derek challenges Mark… Found Footage: 3D Read More

To give Banning credit he does later get the president out of… London Has Fallen Read More
The Party 3.5 stars
The Party is apparently Brexit-related, though it reminded me most of the Blairite years in the mid-1990s, before the 1997 general election swept them to power – those heady days when Labour supporters were in the main prepared to suppress their true political natures in order to get elected. Not so much out of cynicism… The Party Read More
Louder Than Bombs 3.5 stars
I’ve met a few men like Jonah. First telling his wife not to swear in front of their just-delivered baby daughter in case she hears, later sleeping with an ex he has accidentally left with the impression that his wife has cancer. Jonah doesn’t have a problem misdirecting people, accidentally or deliberately, to create a… Louder Than Bombs Read More
New York’s Stunt World – Training, Hustling… Oscars?
I spent four EXHAUSTING hours in a comfy chair in Breakfall Studios’ Manhattan gym, watching superfit stunt performers training: backflips, cartwheels, throwing themselves to the ground and practicing disarming each other with prop weapons. Everyone was lovely and if I ever need to be thrown out of a window, or have a bottle smashed over… New York’s Stunt World – Training, Hustling… Oscars? Read More

The Mountain Between Us 3 stars
I’m not going to lie, my first thought when Alex and Ben survived the plane crash high up in the wintry mountains, with only a nameless dog and a dead pilot called Walter for company, was who’ll be eaten first: Walter or the labrador. My second thought was, how on earth are they going to… The Mountain Between Us Read More
Blade Runner: The Final Cut 4.5 stars
This is Ridley Scott’s final cut, and amazingly for directors’ cuts – which usually go on for about four days and leave you thinking “what, if anything, has actually been cut?” – this comes in at a nifty two hours.
