*** Check out the Vanity Fair video about filming Free Solo at the bottom of the page (review not spoilery, video & trailer are) *** I wouldn’t call Free Solo a comedy but there are some very funny moments, and the comment “that’s the most magnificent crack on Planet Earth” certainly raised a titter from the… Free Solo Read More
Another Replicas Trailer! It’s Almost Like They’re…
*** Read my review of Replicas now *** Check out all three trailers, and a Replicas press junket interview, below (not with me. No, I don’t know why they didn’t ask me either) Cloning drama Replicas is coming back to life after hanging around like Schrodinger’s Movie for what seems like years. “I’m dead” says Mona, wife of… Another Replicas Trailer! It’s Almost Like They’re… Read More
Cold Comfort For Mads Mikkelsen In New Arctic Trailer
*** Read my Arctic review (4/5) *** Mikkelsen plays Overgård, a man left stranded in the arctic after his small plane crash lands. Mikkelsen has been lauded for his portrayal, and it’s one I can’t wait to see. Sadly I missed it at the London Film Festival last autumn as I had an injured foot,… Cold Comfort For Mads Mikkelsen In New Arctic Trailer Read More
Bros: After The Screaming Stops 3.5 stars
Is Matt shallow, or simply too scared to go deep into his psyche? Is he a bit of a joke, with his earnest, never-ending metaphors, or is the joke on us? Why doesn’t he look like his identical twin brother Luke any more? And where the hell is Ken? None of these questions are fully… Bros: After The Screaming Stops Read More
2019: The Ones To Watch (And Then Watch)
What a year for movies 2019 is promising to be – the new (and final) John Wick instalment appears in May, and Gerard Butler’s Angel Has Fallen is out in August. That title makes it sound like a sequel to Constantine, but never mind – if it can top Mike Banning jogging away from a… 2019: The Ones To Watch (And Then Watch) Read More
2018: The Good The Bad & The Ugly (But Mostly Good)
Well that went quick! It seems like no time since I was writing my 2018 To-Watch list and thinking how long it was until Aquaman was coming out. And in some ways, not a whole amount has changed in the past 12 months. We’re still in the EU (just), and we still haven’t seen Replicas…. 2018: The Good The Bad & The Ugly (But Mostly Good) Read More
Mary Poppins Returns 4 stars
After IT last year I’ve avoided films involving colourful balloons and adorable small boys called Georgie, but this one rather took me by surprise. Luckily Mary Poppins Returns is not a horror in any sense but a beautiful fantasy, especially when little Annabel Banks calls a plumber for their flooded kitchen and he’s able to come… Mary Poppins Returns Read More
Holmes And Watson 1.5 stars
Terrible jokes, having to listen to the ageing Queen of England, coke for breakfast – if you’re desperate to escape a family Christmas and think a trip to the cinema is a good idea, just be warned that Holmes & Watson will give you more of the same. Covering onanism, breakfast drugs, a lactating Dr… Holmes And Watson Read More
Bird Box 3 stars
A stern and cold-voiced woman tells two 5 year olds named Boy and Girl that they’re going on a dangerous journey and if they don’t do what she says she will hurt them. It’s a frightening opening to this film about motherhood, not just because of the calamity it hints at but also because this… Bird Box Read More
Us – Jordan Peele’s horror trailers are here to scare your socks off
*** Read my 4.5/5 review of Us *** Check out soundbite interviews from the SXSW premiere of Us – Jordan Peele, Lupita Nyong’o, Winston Duke and more Jordan Peele’s upcoming horror film is billed as “a new nightmare” and the trailer is indeed terrifying and also hugely unnerving.

London Film Festival (LFF) – What’s It Like As Press?
UPDATE 2021: This was written a few years ago, pre-COVID, and pre any changes the organisers have made to their systems, so bear that in mind. I haven’t updated the article as I don’t know how LFF is operating now (sadly I’m not going this year but if you are I hope you have a good time — and stay safe!) Got a movie website? (Let’s not call it a blog…. London Film Festival (LFF) – What’s It Like As Press? Read More
London Film Festival Round-Up 2018
I saw some films! I met Jessica Hynes! I saw more films! I interview people! I met Jessica Hynes! And I spent a fortune on rail travelcards to meet Jessica Hynes! The 2018 BFI London Film Festival (LFF) ran from 10-21 October, finishing with me meeting Jessica Hynes, I mean with a red carpet world… London Film Festival Round-Up 2018 Read More
