Bickering – so easy to do in real life – is a vastly underrated acting skill. I Love my Mum, the new comedy from writer-director Alberto Sciamma, is soundtracked to the constant hum of tiny aggressions and endless reproaches, a stuck record that needs a kick in order to jump forward. Olga (Kierston Wareing) and… I Love My Mum Read More
Late Night (Sundance London) 3 stars
When late night chat show host Katherine Newbury is told she’s being replaced, she finally has to face her writers’ room. Literally, as most of the men in there have never even seen her in the flesh before. Those men are all white, and privileged, though not as hirsute as I was expecting. They’re lazy,… Late Night (Sundance London) Read More
Corporate Animals (Sundance London) 3 stars
Imagine The Descent crossed with The Office, but nastier. That’s Corporate Animals. It’s uneven, but often brutally hilarious, as horrible boss Lucy (Demi Moore) forces her key employees into a team-building exercise exploring caves in New Mexico. Always wanting to push her employees on to greatness, even if they don’t want to go, Lucy declines… Corporate Animals (Sundance London) Read More
Always Be My Maybe 3.5 stars
Sasha Tran (Ali Wong) is magazine cover-famous. She’s a top chef with a successful LA restaurant, another about to open in San Francisco, and a New York venue coming later. Her childhood friend friend Marcus Kim (Randall Park) is lamppost-famous. His flyers for his 15-year-old band Hello Peril have finally reached the other side of San Francisco,… Always Be My Maybe Read More
Secret Life Of Pets 2 3 stars
Cute animals in movies often become scene-stealers. Jonesy the ginger cat in Alien. Daisy the floppy-eared beagle in John Wick. Black Phillip the satanic goat in The Witch. Okay, not that last one. In The Secret Life Of Pets 2, it’s Rooster. He’s not actually a rooster, he’s a Welsh sheepdog, wonderfully voiced by Harrison Ford. He… Secret Life Of Pets 2 Read More
The Hustle 2 stars
Did I feel some affinity with Josephine and Penny’s conned victims after watching The Hustle? Partly. Though it’s not like I wasn’t warned, with a wave of terrible reviews out ahead of my own cinema visit. The Hustle is a bad film but a great con, where you know you’re being scammed every step of… The Hustle Read More
Rocketman 4.5 stars
Several times during Rocketman young Reggie Dwight reappears in Elton John’s life, even as the singer-songwriter is trying to escape him, before he realises that little Reggie is the anchor for everything. Elton’s childhood was often bleak. Yet despite this film’s honest depictions of loneliness, addiction and despair, Rocketman is a joyous and boisterous fantasy grounded in… Rocketman Read More
Shed Of The Dead 2.5 stars
With three horror icons gracing his rom-zom-compost Britfick Shed Of The Dead, director Drew Cullingham is triply blessed. Kane Hodder (who I last saw tearing innocent victims limbs from limb in Victor Crowley), Bill Moseley (who I’m to scared to watch in anything) and Michael Berryman (Wes Craven’s The Hills Have Eyes), face off during a particularly local… Shed Of The Dead Read More
Terminator: Dark Fate – everyone’s favourite Sarah* is BACK
UPDATE: My 4-star review is now live *after me, obviously. Set over 20 years after Terminator 2: Judgement Day, this new film is a direct sequel – with the later Terminator films seen as taking place in alternate timelines. This time Mackenzie Davis’s cyborg Grace is trying to protect a young woman, Dani Ramos (Natalia… Terminator: Dark Fate – everyone’s favourite Sarah* is BACK Read More
The Perfection 3.5 stars
Considering its title, the symmetry in new Netflix thriller horror The Perfection – only fully revealed at the very end – is to be expected. The trailer (below, which I’m going to assume you’ve seen) positions this as a straight-up horror, and Charlotte (Allison Williams) as a demented stalker, wielding a kitchen machete and with… The Perfection Read More
Freaks teaser trailer is all the questions
*** Read my Freaks review now *** JULY UPDATE: NEW official trailer for Freaks, check it out now “Any freaks who are running loose are illegal.” The unsettling aspect of this teaser trailer for Freaks is that it’s not initially clear who the title is referring too. At first it looks as if crazy dad Emile… Freaks teaser trailer is all the questions Read More
New Toy Story 4 trailer: and when will they release Duke Caboom’s training videos?
*** Read my 4.5/5 review of Toy Story 4 now *** Duke Caboom, Canada’s Greatest Stuntman ™, is voiced by Keanu Reeves – but let’s face it, we all know the man could do those athletic motorbike poses standing on his head. Duke is here to help the toys find Forky, who’s gone missing. Forky (Tony… New Toy Story 4 trailer: and when will they release Duke Caboom’s training videos? Read More
