*** Read my 5-star Dr Strangelove review and my interview with Matt Wells, director of new short film Stanley Kubrick Considers The Bomb *** Growing up in the 80s, when I wasn’t crimping my hair and listening to Duran Duran berating me for being “about as easy as a nuclear war”*, I was worrying about surviving one….

Serenity (2019) 2 stars
WARNING: Serenity has some big issues as a movie but most of them relate to the bonkers twist. And as I want to talk about those issues I’m going to have to spoiler it. Maybe watch the movie then come back afterwards! Tuna and Dill. It could be a BBC Sunday night detective serial, about… Serenity (2019) Read More

Isn’t It Romantic 4 stars
I’m delighted to say that Isn’t It Romantic doesn’t have one original idea in it. You’ll have seen them all before, in a thousand romcoms – but director Todd Strauss-Schulson has taken those ideas, chucked them into the air then watched them fall to the ground in perfect order, a bit like if Rebel Wilson did… Isn’t It Romantic Read More

Interviews, clips & images from wrestling comedy-drama “Fighting With My Family”
The hilarious – and rather moving – true life movie Fighting With My Family follows 18 year old Saraya Knight as she leaves her wrestling family at home in Norwich to travel to Florida and train with the WWE. Renamed Paige, she’s one of the few women trainees who can actually wrestle, yet finds herself a… Interviews, clips & images from wrestling comedy-drama “Fighting With My Family” Read More
Fighting With My Family 4 stars
You could argue that this dramatised account of WWE wrestler Paige’s rise to glory is as scripted as the fights it portrays; no one’s success trajectory could so closely follow the “funny and heart-warming” movie template. Then again, if you stay until the end of the film, the footage of the real Paige’s real family… Fighting With My Family Read More
Alien (4k Restoration: 2019) 5 stars
*** click down for two film clips, the trailer and images *** The Nostromo, the towing ship pulling a mining refinery, takes its name from the title of a novel by Joseph Conrad.

Oscars 2019: Yes!!! Nooooo…. Wait, WHAT??!!!
The 2019 Oscars have been and gone, and as that red carpet is rolled up and put into storage along with a million filmmakers’ hopes and dreams, and probably the odd stray vol-au-vent, let’s look back at what happened on the night. (By the way if you know me well and are therefore here for… Oscars 2019: Yes!!! Nooooo…. Wait, WHAT??!!! Read More
Roma 4.5 stars
Roma is a very beautiful and a very sad film, and it’s a sadness drenched in the stoicism of those who hold little sway over their own lives. Not frenetic (despite the family’s four children rushing everywhere and fighting all the time) and not languid, it’s a supremely evenly-paced and unromantic look back at director Alfonso… Roma Read More
The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part 3.5 stars
Younger sisters can be awful, and I should know as I am one. Or maybe I’m just misunderstood. Bianca (Brooklynn Prince), the younger sister and architect of everything no longer being awesome in Bricksburg, is misunderstood, and the whole second Lego movie could have been avoided if only her older brother Finn (Jadon Sand) had… The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part Read More
