Jessica’s parents have been married for decades, but lockdown is proving difficult. And now mum has a plan to get dad out of the house. Made in and of a pandemic — a Zoom call set-up and a snappy 10 minute running time — this isn’t a horror, despite first appearances (and the plethora of… The Man At The Bottom Of The Garden (short film) Read More
Huge if true — Clifford The Big Red Dog gets a teaser trailer
It’s based on the Scholastic book character, which I had never heard of, but then I’m more of a cat person myself (I have to say that, my evil feline overlord is reading this over my shoulder). Much as I love a good movie title pun, in these information-overloaded times sometimes I yearn for an… Huge if true — Clifford The Big Red Dog gets a teaser trailer Read More
The Last Bus trailer: Timothy Spall is on the trip of a lifetime
And those lakes he passes were created from my own tears of as I watched this. The Last Bus is about a widower travelling the length of the country, on buses, using his bus pass. (For non-British readers, UK pensioners are entitled to a free bus pass. That’s all you need to know, along with… The Last Bus trailer: Timothy Spall is on the trip of a lifetime Read More
Mock-doc Marathon trailer hoping to raise some snickers
Years ago I used to take part in Newcastle’s Great North Run, that annual 13-mile “fun run” where you collapse over the finish line wondering how on earth anybody could turn round and jog all the way back, for the full distance. My highlight was beating an ex-Marine from my gym (well, he told me… Mock-doc Marathon trailer hoping to raise some snickers Read More

TRAILER: No business like sow business — Nicolas Cage’s prize truffle-hunter pig is stolen in PIG
“We don’t get a lot of things to really care about.” When I heard there was a Nicolas Cage film coming out about a talented pig, I did wonder if, like that famous dog on ’80s British TV show That’s Life, it could say “sausages” — then I thought that was too icky even for… TRAILER: No business like sow business — Nicolas Cage’s prize truffle-hunter pig is stolen in PIG 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.

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
