Space travel is almost a religion in 1960s America, with NASA its church and the clever, brave and handsome astronauts its would-be Messiahs. To the extent that for three black women, informing an aggressively racist white cop who has appeared by their broken down vehicle that they actually work for the space programme results in an admiring escort to their… Hidden Figures Read More
Sing 3 stars
Koala bear Buster Moon (Matthew McConaughey) is a failed impresario – a dreamer who fell in love with the theatre as a 6 year old then ended up owning the very same theatre, thanks to the hard work of his father. Now several years down the line his lack of business acumen has resulted in… Sing Read More
Wick did WHAT?? 10 Things That Made Me Go Whoa! In John Wick Chapter 2
So you’ve enjoyed / endured two years of anticipation building up to the sequel to John Wick. You’ve watched trailers, teaser trailers, and tailor teaser trailers. You’ve taken a leaf out of your hero Keanu’s book and defended Wick against all-comers, while wearing a tapered suit and looking battered-yet-sexy. I didn’t see John Wick until it… Wick did WHAT?? 10 Things That Made Me Go Whoa! In John Wick Chapter 2 Read More

Click here for my Bad Batch review. Just when you thought it was a while since you’d seen a cannibal ‘n’ cults film along comes a new one to make you salivate. The Bad Batch is the latest from Ana Lily Amirpour (director of the fabulous vampire classic A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night).

John Wick: Chapter 2 4.5 stars
One question, asks Julius, the manager of Rome’s Continental hotel. John Wick, the world’s most feared assassin, leans forward to listen: “Are you here for the Pope?” This absurd yet somehow sensible question sums up everything that is so perfect yet at the same time so batshit crazy about John Wick: Chapter 2. Bigger and bolder… John Wick: Chapter 2 Read More
After The Baftas
The Baftas – or to give them their official title, the EE British Academy Film Awards, were held last night in London’s Royal Albert Hall with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, otherwise known as Princess Kate and her husband, in attendance. And yes I was there! Well my selfie was, thanks to a Twitter competition held… After The Baftas Read More
50 Shades Darker 2 stars
I’m going out on a limb here – albeit a long, lithe, hairfree one belonging to Anastasia Steele – to say I think 50 Shades Darker is better than 50 Shades of Grey. And I can say that with some authority as I watched the original yesterday morning and the sequel last night. It’s not going to win… 50 Shades Darker Read More
50 Shades Of Grey 1.5 stars
Five minutes in and the cliches are raining down like special snowflakes at a Donald Trump rally. I was hoping this would be Bridget Jones’s Diary if it had been given an American remake, with Jamie Dornan as Daniel Cleaver and Dakota Johnson as Bridget: “Cigarettes 0 / Chardonnay 0 / Light beatings 1 / Lip bites 5 / Boob shots… 50 Shades Of Grey Read More
Fire, Fear, & Favourite Stunts – Interview With Stuntwoman Jo Lamstein
“There’s a strange bond when you’ve done some crazy stuff together that ordinarily might get another maimed, and you’ve gotten each other out of it unscathed… you sort of just ‘get each other’. That is everywhere.” As a stunt performer for film and TV, Joanne Lamstein has been set on fire, fallen backwards through windows, been attacked by guard dogs,… Fire, Fear, & Favourite Stunts – Interview With Stuntwoman Jo Lamstein Read More
John Wick Chapter 2 Trailer Goes 50 Shades Darker: “Will Somebody Please Give That Man My Number!”
The new John Wick Chapter 2 trailer is brilliant, though it looks pretty standard action for Valentine’s Day to me. I am hard as nails though. The sequel to the Keanu Reeves slow-burner from 2014 is out in a few days and I can think of far worse ways to spend Valentine’s Day than at the cinema… John Wick Chapter 2 Trailer Goes 50 Shades Darker: “Will Somebody Please Give That Man My Number!” Read More
Life Trailer – Lifeform More Intelligent Than Expected And I Know How That Feels
A new trailer for Life was released today. Life is a science fiction film about a crew on the International Space Station studying a sample brought back to the ship from Mars in an unmanned pod. The lifeform turns out to be more intelligent than anyone expected (so basically it’s me) and then judging by this trailer… Life Trailer – Lifeform More Intelligent Than Expected And I Know How That Feels Read More
Lego Batman Movie 3D 4.5 stars
Honestly, this film has so many bad guys in it, I was surprised I didn’t spot any of my exes. Bad guys I’d heard of, bad guys I think I might have heard of, bad guys I’d never heard of which could mean they are totally made up or could just be because I don’t… Lego Batman Movie 3D Read More
