Ninjago is an island city, which evidently has its own TV station – make that several TV stations, as the version we see here in the UK has Lego Kate Garraway and Lego Ben Shephard, the real life hosts of Good Morning Britain, hosting Good Morning Ninjago. As far as I know there’s an American version with… Lego Ninjago Movie (2D) Read More

Blade Runner 2049 4 stars
This is a bleak future, both burning and frozen. Roger Deakins’ cinematography is extraordinary: the sky is by turns orange with a red sun; white, as pretty snow falls onto monolithic buildings; or black as that mind-drumming rain returns to drench brightly-lit tower block windows. Inside, everything is functional. Outside, giant adverts featuring naked women… Blade Runner 2049 Read More
Call Me By Your Name 4.5 stars
Languid is a term made for Call Me By Your Name, as well-off couples and teens lounge around indulging their pleasures (food, academia, poetry, cigarettes) but meanwhile everything is happening below the surface. Literally at times, as they jump into old stone swimming pools or bring up long-lost statues from the deep of Lake Garda…. Call Me By Your Name Read More
Found Footage: 3D 3.5 stars
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
Geostorm 3.5 stars
“Look at you, girl!” Get me a sexy bearded Scotsman who looks at me the way Jake Lawson looks at the International Space Station on his first visit there for three years. Three years, since his younger brother Max (Jim Sturgess) fired him as head of Dutch Boy, the system of protective satellites that has… Geostorm Read More
The Ballad of Shirley Collins 3.5 stars
“There are some great female voices around now, but I’m not one of them. I wish I was!” says Shirley Collins, First Lady of Folk and widely seen as the best female British folk singer of the 20th century. Shirley lost her voice in uncertain circumstances in 1980, and though even now in her 80s… The Ballad of Shirley Collins Read More
London Has Fallen 3 stars
“It’s what I do” says Mike Banning, as he prepares once more to get American President Benjamin Asher in a shit-load of trouble, I mean protect him on his official trip to the funeral of the British Prime Minister, who has died unexpectedly. 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
Ilyana Eberhardt – stuntwoman
