*** New UK release date: 25 February 2022, at cinemas across the UK *** Critics were definitely bowing down to British comedy The Duke when it had its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival. Jim Broadbent is Geordie taxi driver Kempton Bunton, who steals a Goya painting of the Duke Of Wellington (the Duke… Portrait of a elderly art thief: The Duke trailer Read More
The trailer for teen comedy Dinner in America is, bizarrely, the kind of thing you can watch with your parents
“Do you think I’m weird?” “Oh yeah, no, you’re fucking weird.” “Is weird cool?” “In your case, no.” As the kids say, I feel so seen, if as a teenager back in 1986. This film is Heathers meets Napoleon Dynamite AND a cult film in the making apparently, and while that set my expectations high… The trailer for teen comedy Dinner in America is, bizarrely, the kind of thing you can watch with your parents Read More
M. Night Shyamalan’s “Old” trailer drops, slowly like me getting out of a chair
A group of adults and children head to a gorgeous, secluded beach for the day, only to discover they appear to be ageing super-quickly before their eyes, a bit like me when my child tried to explain Roblox. Pre-teens are suddenly adults, the body of a young woman decomposes in record time. The day before… M. Night Shyamalan’s “Old” trailer drops, slowly like me getting out of a chair Read More
New Jungle Cruise trailer and at least someone’s getting away on holiday
Emily Blunt is scientist Dr Lily Houghton, looking for a tree that could revolutionise medicine and Dwayne Johnson is jauntily-capped riverboat captain Frank Wolff who is taking her up the Amazon to find it. I am very much looking forward to this movie, and am hoping it turns out to be a cross between Raiders… New Jungle Cruise trailer and at least someone’s getting away on holiday Read More
Two women, two windows… The ending of The Woman In The Window
Warning: very spoilery, obviously, on the last, batshit half hour. (My three-star review is here.) Anna is sent a photo of herself from an anonymous email account. In the photo she’s sleeping, holding a glass of wine, and the clock behind her says 2.02. In a very stagey (but enjoyable!) scene Detectives Little and Norelli… Two women, two windows… The ending of The Woman In The Window Read More
The Woman In The Window 3 stars
A woman with agoraphobia who lives apart from her family spies a killing in the house across the road. Film lovers, you can sleep easy in your beds — unlike Anna in this movie — as The Woman In The Window is not the great disaster you may have heard. It’s not great either, but… The Woman In The Window Read More
Winner or dinner? Army Of The Dead: who dies, who survives, what we know and what we don’t
Very spoilery on what happens, plus I talk about those threads left hanging. This is long but not as long as Zack’s movie. Click down to the bottom if you simply want a list of deaths in order… (My four star review is here.) And if you don’t want to read the whole thing, TL,DR:… Winner or dinner? Army Of The Dead: who dies, who survives, what we know and what we don’t Read More
Army Of The Dead 4 stars
With zombie-infested Las Vegas walled up and due to be nuked in 32 hours, casino boss Bly Tanaka offers zombie war veteran Scott Ward a slice of the $200 million in the vault under Bly’s casino if he can assemble a team and retrieve it. This review is not massively spoilery. If you are in… Army Of The Dead Read More
The ending of Peter Rabbit 2
No not like that — Peter lives to fight another day, though rather chastened. (My four-star review is here.) After running away from Bea and Thomas on their first visit to Nigel Basil-Jones in Gloucester, Peter meets Barnabas, an old and experienced rabbit who claims to know Peter’s father. He doesn’t — it’s just a… The ending of Peter Rabbit 2 Read More
Peter Rabbit 2 4 stars
Bea, Thomas, and the rabbits have created a makeshift family, but despite his best efforts, Peter can’t seem to shake his mischievous reputation. Slapstick, farmers’ market mockery and the benefits of a plant-based diet — Peter Rabbit 2 is the perfect blend of tradition and modern concerns. It certainly made me think about pet ownership… Peter Rabbit 2 Read More
The Dear Evan Hansen trailer is here! (though admittedly I wasn’t expecting it)
I didn’t know what this was (an adaptation of a megahit Broadway musical!) until today and now I am quietly drowning in a puddle of my own tears after watching a three minute trailer. I am very easily manipulated though… Just ask my children. And my dog. I do know that, like every musical, I… The Dear Evan Hansen trailer is here! (though admittedly I wasn’t expecting it) Read More
Army Of The Dead: giant 3D zombie tiger hits Piccadilly Circus!
*** Read my 4-star review and article about the film *** And it’s not the first time central London has been menaced by a big white cat. Proof, if it is needed, that the world will end not with a bang but with a miaow. Here’s the footage: And the pics: Zack Snyder’s 2.5 hour… Army Of The Dead: giant 3D zombie tiger hits Piccadilly Circus! Read More
