As the voiceover says early on in Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, “keep your swords as sharp as your wits. As the ultimate battle between the living and the undead has yet to be staged.” The beauty of a Jane Austen / zombie mashup is that you know exactly what’s going to happen in both genres,… Pride And Prejudice And Zombies Read More
BAFTA Award Nominations Are Out And Hello Again Amy Adams!
Once The British Academy of Film & Television Arts awards (the BAFTAS) were held after the Oscars, by which time everyone was bored with awards ceremonies and the designers had literally run out of nice dresses, so hardly anyone famous actually went. Every now and then a bona fide Hollywood megastar would put in an appearance… BAFTA Award Nominations Are Out And Hello Again Amy Adams! Read More
La La Land 4.5 stars
La La Land is an absolute joy, to watch and to listen to. It was probably the most fun two hours I’ve had at the cinema since a really excellent first date back in 1987 with the friend of the guy I was meant to meet but who didn’t turn up (Reader, I didn’t marry… La La Land Read More
I’ve Found The Perfect Free Gift For John Wick’s Favourite Magazine
There’s a glossy-yet-shadowy magazine for assassins coming out this month, and I really hope that a pencil is the free gift with the first issue. (A decent quality pencil, tested to ensure each one can kill three people in a bar before breaking*). The new magazine is called Continental Quarterly and is the in-house publication of… I’ve Found The Perfect Free Gift For John Wick’s Favourite Magazine Read More
Chucky’s Back & He’s Pissed Off At The Increasing Gender Split in Toys
He’s not really. He’s Chucky and he just wants to kill you. I am so old I can remember the original Child’s Play back in 1988 when Chucky was, well, just a kid. And he still hasn’t grown up, like an evil Peter Pan. The latest Chucky film is Cult of Chucky and there’s a… Chucky’s Back & He’s Pissed Off At The Increasing Gender Split in Toys Read More
Silent Running 4 stars
Scifi purists look away now, because the reason I didn’t watch Silent Running for years was because I kept getting it mixed up with Logan’s Run, where Jenny Agutter lives in a world where people are only allowed to live until they’re 30. It’s a fun film to watch in your youth but as you can imagine at… Silent Running Read More
Extended 50 Shades Darker Trailer Shows They Can Keep Going For 2 Whole Minutes
There’s a new 50 Shades Darker trailer just been released, to keep us just on the edge until the film itself – the sequel to 2015’s smash hit 50 Shades of Grey – comes out on 10 February 2017. And the best news is… KIM BASINGER IS IN IT! Anyway yes they really are releasing the movie just… Extended 50 Shades Darker Trailer Shows They Can Keep Going For 2 Whole Minutes Read More
An American Werewolf In London 4.5 stars
There is, apparently, a remake planned. I don’t usually mind remakes – the original film still exists, after all. And at least with American Werewolf In London mobile phones haven’t made the plot obsolete (you think I’m kidding? Have you ever tried getting a phone signal up on Britain’s remotest, werewolf-ridden moors?). But if you haven’t seen the… An American Werewolf In London Read More
2017 Movies I Want To See Either Side of John Wick 2
That’s 2017 the year, not the number of movies. And these are the 10+JW2 I’m most looking forward to seeing – don’t let me down, film makers! As I keep pointing out, it costs me a tenner to go to the cinema and that’s before you factor in the drinks afterwards to help me cope with… 2017 Movies I Want To See Either Side of John Wick 2 Read More
2016 – The Year We Didn’t Know If A “Best Of” Film List Was Numerical or Alphabetical
Ah yes, Arrival. Anyway I can assure you this is an in-order, 1st to 10th best, numerical list which by chance happens to be almost… ALMOST, alphabetical. 1. Arrival What “best of” film list this end-of-year won’t have Arrival at the top? Maybe one written by Cillian Murphy. It’s really hard to talk about Arrival without spoiler-ing – so… 2016 – The Year We Didn’t Know If A “Best Of” Film List Was Numerical or Alphabetical Read More
My Worst Films of 2016 But Not Including Gods of Egypt Because It’s Suffered Enough
Luckily for me I love a bad film. Most of these weren’t awful (Home Alone 4 will always be my line-in-the-sand for cinematic awfulness) but they were, in some way, disappointing. And it cost me ten quid to see each one. 1. Batman v Superman – Dawn of Justice BVS sounds like a yeast infection doesn’t it. I’m guessing watching… My Worst Films of 2016 But Not Including Gods of Egypt Because It’s Suffered Enough Read More
OMG John Wick has killed Santa!
He knows when you are sleeping! (as if I’d be asleep). He knows when you’re awake! (hell yes). He knows when you’ve been bad or good (bad John, so very bad). So be good for goodness sake (I’ve been practising!). Come on, this is 2016, WORST YEAR ON RECORD, of course Santa turned out to be… OMG John Wick has killed Santa! Read More
