“If you don’t have a chiselled body, you can’t show your skin on stage unless it’s meant to be a joke.” With traditional ballet still summoning up images of ultra slim, short ballerinas in white tutus being held up by lithe and sinewy male ballet dancers, its easy to forget how freeing dance should be for… En Pointe (short film) Read More
Girl Fight: A Muay Thai Story 3.5 stars
“People say they want to fight but once they get punched in the face that will determine whether they can handle that. Nobody likes that!” Being punched in the face is what has always put me off getting into the ring but if anyone could persuade me to try it would surely be Prairie Rugilo, the open and inspirational… Girl Fight: A Muay Thai Story Read More

Macbeth (2015) 4 stars
Lady Macbeth schemes to propel her husband towards the Scottish throne but even as the chain of events she set in motion moves bloodily forward it’s hard not to feel sympathy for her; especially as she speaks to and weeps over a hallucination of her dead toddler with the heartbreaking “wash your hands, put on your nightgown, look… Macbeth (2015) Read More
Free Fire 3.5 stars
If you like the idea of half an hour of sniping followed by an hour of, well, sniping in a 1970s Boston warehouse, then Free Fire is the movie for you. Two groups (IRA weapons buyers, and an arms dealer and his associates) come to blows when handing over on a gun deal. And while there are loads of guns around,… Free Fire Read More
What We Do In The Shadows 5 stars
Immortality can’t all be glamorous cloak-swishing nights out or chases pursued by 15th century pitchfork-waving villagers. At some point someone has to sort out the recycling and wash up the blood-spattered plates. Mockumentaries rarely get it completely right. Balancing out the laughs with situations that could actually be real, and which also propel the story forward,… What We Do In The Shadows Read More

So you might have heard something about a teaser trailer for The Last Jedi? The teaser looks lovely but sorry, all I can see is Giant Shoe Island.

And is determined to give stardom one last shot. Brent’s self belief, surface-deep though it clearly is, strikes new heights, or depths, this time… David Brent: Life On The Road Read More
Atomic Blonde Goes Nuclear In The Kitchen In New Trailer…
*** Check out my Atomic Blonde review here *** …and it’s got the best stiletto-as-weapon scene since Single White Female. This is the second trailer for the Charlize Theron-starrer Atomic Blonde, about a hot hot hot Cold War British spy in Berlin just before the Berlin Wall came down.

Boss Baby 2.5 stars
Like my parenting methods, Boss Baby is several great ideas that collapse into a bit of a mess when put into practice. There’s lots of exposition, some confusing threads left hanging, and at times it’s downright dull. At its heart is that age old question, when a new baby joins a family. No, not is there… Boss Baby Read More
Dark Star 4 stars
Set in the 22nd century, Dark Star chronicles the lives of the crew of the eponymous spaceship – already in space for two decades, they are tasked with destroying unstable planets so Earth can potentially colonise other planets nearby. Contact between the Dark Star and Earth is perfunctory and occasional at best. Mission Control back on Earth make it clear… Dark Star Read More
