“I found equality in the ocean, that just drove me” says Laird Hamilton, who has overcome a troubled childhood to become the world’s best big wave surfer. “The ocean is where I could hide, get away from the land. That was where the trouble was”. I know nothing about surfing, bar what I learnt from… Take Every Wave: The Life Of Laird Hamilton Read More
Princess Cyd 5 stars
Once upon a time, aged 17, I went for an interview at one of our better redbrick universities – to study English, no less – and confidently told the don in front of me that I didn’t really rate Shakespeare. Reader, they rejected me. But if 16 year old Cyd were real, I hope it… Princess Cyd Read More
Is Horror Reanimating? Is IT It? Q&A With Shudder’s Colin Geddes
“I like to break the genre down into films that are terror-based (rooted in reality, such as serial killers, slashers, crime) in which the outcome is predictable in the sense that it’s bound by the rules of physics; and horror, which is uncanny or supernatural, and not rooted in any firm rules of our world.”… Is Horror Reanimating?

Murder On The Orient Express 2.5 stars
It’s impossible to review this film without mentioning Poirot’s moustache. To be honest it most resembles the intimate topiary of a woman who has tried to do her own Hollywood wax and given up part way through because of the pain. But it is impressive nonetheless, and in 2017, Year Of The Movie Moustache, Branagh’s… Murder On The Orient Express Read More
Thor: Ragnarok 3D 4 stars
If, like me, you don’t know your avenger from your enemy, don’t worry. Thor: Ragnarok is full of useful exposition that’s wittily done. In fact the whole film is awash with gags. You could call its humour Shakespearean, as slapstick punctures the bumptuousness and self-aggrandisement of the film’s heroes and anti-heroes, and if that isn’t… Thor: Ragnarok 3D Read More
A Bad Moms Christmas 2.5 stars
I adore Christmas, and had no qualms watching this on November 1st, while eating homemade mince pies. I used to manage a retail Christmas department, which meant wearing musical antlers blaring our “Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer” from September to February, and I still adored Christmas. I also make my own mincemeat, bake and ice… A Bad Moms Christmas Read More
Event Horizon 4 stars
“I created the Event Horizon to reach the stars. But she’s gone much, much further than that… When she crossed over she was just a ship. But when she came back she was alive” says Dr Weir, a man either possessed or insane, or possibly both, as the horrors on board the newly-reappeared spaceship Event… Event Horizon Read More
Death Of Stalin 4 stars
It’s amazing any decisions get made at all, both before and after Stalin’s death, as everyone is so paralysed with fear. The consequences of saying the wrong thing which they were previously so convinced was the right thing are terrifying. Being in the Soviet Politburo does sound a lot like being on Twitter. Well, most… Death Of Stalin Read More

There’s No One Called Den In The Den Of Thieves Trailer
***Check out my Den Of Thieves review now*** …which is a huge missed opportunity for film title puns. Plus I was hoping the movie was a modern day remake of Robin Hood, Prince Of Thieves. It does have Gerard Butler in it though, playing the Sheriff Of Nottingham, I mean a corrupt cop called Nick… There’s No One Called Den In The Den Of Thieves Trailer Read More
