Leaving Neverland, aka Leaving Neverland: Michael Jackson and Me tells us what we’ve all known for years: Michael Jackson sexually-abused children. Or do you think he’s innocent, and that he was the victim in all this? And if that’s the case, then what about others accused of such crimes, yet never caught and have since […]

Alita: Battle Angel, originally was a manga known as Battle Angel Alita*. Quite why they’ve gone with this change, I don’t know and it’s never been explained, so I can only guess that it’s when cinemagoers turn to Google for their answers, this movie title comes up above the manga.

Green Book looked from the trailer like a colour-swap version of Driving Miss Daisy, as working-class Italian-American bouncer Tony Vallelonga – aka Tony Lip (Viggo Mortensen) – becomes the driver for African-American classical pianist Don Shirley (Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse‘s Mahershala Ali) on a tour of venues through the Deep South in 1962. I was […]

Can You Ever Forgive Me? marked a rare departure for me – a return to actually WANTING to watch a Melissa McCarthy movie after the godawful 2016 Ghostbusters reboot, but that’s because this is (a) a drama, (b) she’s not shouting a lot, and (c) it looked pretty damn good. Will she turn me around […]

Vice opens on Sept 11th, 2001, as Dick Cheney (Christian Bale, above) is rushed into the Presidential Emergency Operations Centre, so he’s kept out of harm’s way, and then goes back to the start, in 1963, when he got into Yale and went on to meet his wife-to-be, Lynne (Amy Adams), and as the narration […]

Bros: After The Screaming Stops brings the twin brothers back together to perform at the O2 in Wembley, 28 years after they first performed at Wembley. But that’s nothing! I was at one of their first ever gigs, and certainly their first warm-up gig for their first tour, at the Manchester Apollo in 1988. The […]

Happy New Year, Colin Burstead comes from Ben Wheatley who usually provides us rather off-the-wall movies such as Free Fire, Sightseers and A Field In England, so there’s always something going on, it’s almost always entertaining, and they’re pretty brief. This latest one, which was shown at the London Film Festival and now is only […]
