2017 has been full of films about family but sadly Mindhorn isn’t really an advert for the enduring bonds of blood and friendship – his TV “family” seem to have got used to his absence after he popped out to the shops and never returned all those years ago, and aren’t overjoyed to see him back; and his potentially… Mindhorn Read More
Fate Of The Furious (Fast 8) 4 stars
The Fast And The Furious franchise started way back in 2001 and Fate Of The Furious is the first of the series that I’ve seen. Mainly as I rarely drive so it takes me about 16 years to get anywhere. Still, I saw this today, and really, really enjoyed it. It’s so cheesy they should sell the DVD… Fate Of The Furious (Fast 8) Read More
You Don’t Have To Be Into MMA To Enjoy Girl Fight: A Muay Thai Story. Trailer HERE
Matthew Kaplowitz, co-director of the fascinating short film Concrete & Crashpads: Stunts In New York, has gone solo for his first feature length documentary and it’s a moving, exciting story. A must for fans of MMA and women’s sports, it’s also an engrossing watch for anyone who loves to feel part of an emotional journey. I’ve never been… You Don’t Have To Be Into MMA To Enjoy Girl Fight: A Muay Thai Story. Trailer HERE Read More
Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 2 (3D) 3.5 stars
“There are two types of being in the universe – those who dance, and those who do not” as many a clubbing friend has suggested, in hope rather than expectation, while watching me drunkenly flail my arms around to everything from Abba to the Sisters of Mercy, unaware that the back of my skirt is tucked into… Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 2 (3D) Read More
Burn After Reading 4.5 stars
“Jesus what a clusterfuck” is the CIA boss’s fitting assessment of the situation at the end of Burn After Reading, after a group of inadequates have taken just enough time off from screwing each other to create a bloody, criminal mess that is entirely of their own making and results in death and serious injury but hopefully a… Burn After Reading Read More
A Dog’s Purpose 3 stars
“Is there a point to any of this?” muses Bailey, one of many dogs that are actually the same dog in A Dog’s Purpose. And I’d be lying if I denied I hadn’t thought that about the film itself a couple of times. Contrived and emotionally manipulative, with a plot you’ll guess within the first few minutes,… A Dog’s Purpose Read More
En Pointe (short film) Short Film 4.5 stars
“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
Kingsman: The Golden Circle Trailer – I Hope You’re Ready… For What Comes Next…
The first trailer is out for Kingsman: The Golden Circle is out and it’s a total blast in every sense. The movie is a follow up to the 2014 hit Kingsman: The Secret Service which starred Taron Egerton and Colin Firth. The first film was a hilarious spy comedy about a private international intelligence agency founded in London after… Kingsman: The Golden Circle Trailer – I Hope You’re Ready… For What Comes Next… 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
