Apostasy is defined as “abandonment or renunciation of a religion by a person” and is what happened to one of the characters within. I’m not at all religious, but I’d heard a lot of good things about this film. Ivanna (Benidorm‘s Siobhan Finneran) is heavily religious, making younger daughter Alex (Molly Wright) feel guilt-tripped into […]

Entebbe is also known as 7 Days In Entebbe, since the film was given two titles due to events spending that amount of time in that Ugandan airport after terrorists hijack the Air France Flight 139, which was headed from Tel Aviv to Paris, with them joining at the point when the plane was on […]

The Producers is one of those films I’ve never seen before, but now is getting a Blu-ray 50th Anniversary Edition release and as with a number of recent titles such as Birdman of Alcatraz and The Defiant Ones, it’s good to use this moment to catch up with what has been deemed a classic over […]
How to Talk to Girls at Parties has shown me one first: Hawaiian-born and Australia-raised Nicole Kidman with a Cockney accent… and shouting “We Are England!” Hmm… It’s 1977 – the year of the Queen’s Silver Jubilee, and schoolboys Enn (Alex Sharp), John (Ethan Lawrence) and Vic (AJ Lewis) stumble upon the weirdest party, which […]

Custody centres around two warring parents – Miriam (Léa Drucker) and Antoine (Denis Ménochet) – who have split up, and naturally, the children are coming between them. With the eldest, Joséphine (Mathilde Auneveux) being 18, they don’t need to worry about her too much as she’s now an adult, so the attention turns to 11-year-old […]

Ghost Stories comes out on Blu-ray and DVD a little early for Halloween, but it’ll give you time to get ready.

Beast opens with local tour guide Moll (Jessie Buckley) meeting Pascal (Johnny Flynn) on a late night after a disastrous birthday in her very small town in Jersey, which saw her family take more interest in her sister than in her own anniversarial issues. He’s scruffy and wears muddy boots inside the house (not on […]
