Warning: slightly spoilery. Arrival is challenging yet comforting science fiction and frankly it’s about time. And language – Captain Cook, keen to know the name of the bouncy animal with the pouch, asked a group of Aborigines. Kangaroo they replied, and so it became, though actually kangaroo turned out to simply mean “I don’t know”…. Arrival Read More
Movie 43 1 stars
The worst film ever made. That’s what Movie 43 is known as. Which I think is unfair as it isn’t the very worst film ever made. (I can say that with some authority as I’ve seen Home Alone 4). It is bad though. A collection of 15 shortish sketches, the US version released in cinemas… Movie 43 Read More
Carrie 3 stars
When I first saw the original Carrie (not when it came out in 1976 – I’m not THAT old) – with its horrific tale about puberty and first periods dressed up with the ultimate mean girls and telekinetic fire-starting powers – I completely got it. Puberty is horrible. Teenage periods are horrible. Just remembering it… Carrie Read More
Light Between Oceans 4 stars
Guilt. That’s what they could have called Light Between Oceans, though it wouldn’t have conveyed the light-drenched sunrises that the gorgeous cinematography scatters through this film. And I was already feeling guilty at hardly having reviewed any Fassbender films despite him being officially trademarked as one of the Best Actors of his Generation. I have… Light Between Oceans Read More
The Wonder Woman Trailer is Here and It’s… Excellent
Wonder Woman – as played by Gal Gadot – was easily the best of the superheroes in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice earlier this year. And the world rejoiced when we heard that 2017 would bring the new Wonder Woman movie. Well this week the official Wonder Woman trailer arrived and it’s fantastic. But who… The Wonder Woman Trailer is Here and It’s… Excellent Read More
Shame 4 stars
The night before watching Shame on TV, I started on Westworld, the HBO series. I loved the set up and the story but after a rather wearying hour of endlessly pert naked actresses of varying levels of famousness it was quite a relief to then see Michael Fassbender in Shame recalibrate the male/female on-screen nudity scales. Yes there… Shame Read More
Woo Woo! Here’s The Official Trainspotting 2 Trailer
Oh come on, I’ve got two small boys and I’ve spent the last seven years of bedtimes pretending to be Thomas The Bloody Tank Engine, a celebratory “whoo woo!” is the least you should expect. Anyway are you singing “Born Slippy” by Underworld under your breath yet? For people old enough to remember the first Trainspotting… Woo Woo! Here’s The Official Trainspotting 2 Trailer Read More
Matt Damon Starring as Luke Hemsworth in Westworld
I’ve finally started watching Westworld several weeks after everyone else in the whole world. And head of security Ashley Stubbs at the Westward theme park, played by oldest Hemsworth brother Luke, looks remarkably like that intergalactic liability, Matt Damon. If you haven’t seen Westworld yet, it’s a TV show about a wild west theme park… Matt Damon Starring as Luke Hemsworth in Westworld Read More
New Trailer for xXx: Return of Xander Cage & Autocorrects Everywhere Are Freaking Out
My autocorrect is fine of course because xXx is how I sign off my texts (even to my bank manager. In fact especially to my bank manager. Never works though). Anyway! That new xXx: Xander Cage trailer. As you probably know it’s pronounced Triple X and is the third in the franchise following on from… New Trailer for xXx: Return of Xander Cage & Autocorrects Everywhere Are Freaking Out Read More

LIFE Trailer Shows Life On Mars And It’s Not Happy
A trailer for the movie LIFE was shown in the US during the Walking Dead yesterday and it’s looking like a corker. LIFE movie is directed by Daniel Espinosa and stars Ryan Reynolds, Ariyon Bakare, Hiroyuki Sanadi, Rebecca Ferguson and Jake Gyllenhaal as scientists on the International Space Station. They find life on Mars, but it turns… LIFE Trailer Shows Life On Mars And It’s Not Happy Read More
Hotel Transylvania 3.5 stars
Let’s face it, really all a top notch kids’ movie needs is at least one excellent fart joke, a running time of around 90 minutes and a story where good triumphs over evil. But mainly, an excellent fart joke. Actually I’d happily take these criteria for any movie, whichever age group it’s aimed at. But Hotel Transylvania – the animated… Hotel Transylvania Read More
