If, like me, you don’t know your avenger from your enemy, don’t worry. Thor: Ragnarok is full of useful exposition that’s wittily done. In fact the whole film is awash with gags. You could call its humour Shakespearean, as slapstick punctures the bumptuousness and self-aggrandisement of the film’s heroes and anti-heroes, and if that isn’t… Thor: Ragnarok 3D Read More
A Bad Moms Christmas 2.5 stars
I adore Christmas, and had no qualms watching this on November 1st, while eating homemade mince pies. I used to manage a retail Christmas department, which meant wearing musical antlers blaring our “Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer” from September to February, and I still adored Christmas. I also make my own mincemeat, bake and ice… A Bad Moms Christmas Read More
Event Horizon 4 stars
“I created the Event Horizon to reach the stars. But she’s gone much, much further than that… When she crossed over she was just a ship. But when she came back she was alive” says Dr Weir, a man either possessed or insane, or possibly both, as the horrors on board the newly-reappeared spaceship Event… Event Horizon Read More
Death Of Stalin 4 stars
It’s amazing any decisions get made at all, both before and after Stalin’s death, as everyone is so paralysed with fear. The consequences of saying the wrong thing which they were previously so convinced was the right thing are terrifying. Being in the Soviet Politburo does sound a lot like being on Twitter. Well, most… Death Of Stalin Read More

Lego Ninjago Movie (2D) 3 stars
Ninjago is an island city, which evidently has its own TV station – make that several TV stations, as the version we see here in the UK has Lego Kate Garraway and Lego Ben Shephard, the real life hosts of Good Morning Britain, hosting Good Morning Ninjago. As far as I know there’s an American version with… Lego Ninjago Movie (2D) Read More

Blade Runner 2049 4 stars
This is a bleak future, both burning and frozen. Roger Deakins’ cinematography is extraordinary: the sky is by turns orange with a red sun; white, as pretty snow falls onto monolithic buildings; or black as that mind-drumming rain returns to drench brightly-lit tower block windows. Inside, everything is functional. Outside, giant adverts featuring naked women… Blade Runner 2049 Read More
Call Me By Your Name 4.5 stars
Languid is a term made for Call Me By Your Name, as well-off couples and teens lounge around indulging their pleasures (food, academia, poetry, cigarettes) but meanwhile everything is happening below the surface. Literally at times, as they jump into old stone swimming pools or bring up long-lost statues from the deep of Lake Garda…. Call Me By Your Name Read More
Found Footage: 3D 3.5 stars
My favourite line in Found Footage 3D, as I’m pretty meta too, is when lead actor Derek argues with his brother Mark, who’s announced he’s leaving the haunted cabin and taking Derek’s ex-wife and lead actress Amy with him. FEARnet’s Scott Weinberg is arriving for a set visit the next day and Derek challenges Mark… Found Footage: 3D Read More
