Baptiste marks the return of French detective Julien Baptiste (Tchéky Karyo), who you’ll remember from The Missing, but after two series of that, they wanted to make a third (and it’s still on the cards), but it would be set in London, and how can you bring the man back across the water when he’s […]
Two For Joy begins with the last day of school for Vi (Emilia Jones, daughter of Aled Jones and she was brilliant opposite Guy Pearce in Brimstone), but life is far from easy for her. Her tearaway younger brother, Troy (Badger Skelton), is having seizures, and her mother, Aisha (Samantha Morton) has anxiety issues and […]
Climax begins with an opening dance number, to a remix of Cerrone’s Supernature, which turns into an incredibly well-choreographed spin around the dance floor for everyone involved, so yeah, sod The Greatest Dancer on BBC1, since this is what you should be watching if that’s what you’re into. However, after three days of rehearsal, it’s […]
Traitors is a new World War II drama which looked stylish from the trailers, and I thought was going for an Allied-style approach, as that’s a modern WW2 movie, but is it as entertaining in its own right? Well, it’s sort-of WW2, since it’s 1945 and the war is coming to a close. You’d think […]
Dweebs Drop is a new ZX Spectrum title which is inspired by the likes of Tetris and Candy Crush, and is the fourth physical release ever. It’s a great puzzle game, but deceptively devious, since while it looked like I could spend all day playing a single game and would certainly hit 100,000 points, some […]
Frozen 2: Freeze Harder – where Anna returns to take on the terrorists at Dulles Airport in Washington D.C…..
No, it isn’t really entitled Frozen 2: Freeze Harder in full, but it does see the return of Kristen Bell as Anna, who sang the annoying Let It Go, although since I never watched the original movie, I managed to escape that tuneless tune for quite some time. I tried watching it some time later, but after 10 minutes, I gave up.
Tolkien… JRR Tolkien…
This film explores the formative years of the orphaned author as he finds friendship, love and artistic inspiration among a group of fellow outcasts at school, and stars Nicholas Hoult (X-Men: Apocalypse).
The Hustle brings us the genre of comedy you never asked for – the return of the mismatched pair.
Both clichés are here: the sexy confident one, and the fat idiot. Between Anne Hathaway and Rebel Wilson, which one do you think each of them is?
Yesterday is the latest film from director Danny Boyle (Sunshine, Slumdog Millionaire), alongside screenwriter Richard Curtis (Love Actually, Notting Hill).
It centres around a couple played by Lily James (Baby Driver) and Himesh Patel, and after the latter has an accident, he finds himself in an alternate world where The Beatles never existed and so all their songs are for the taking. Something’s bound to go round in the end, but this does rather feel like a one-joke movie and we’ve seen it in the trailer.
Dweebs Drop is a new ZX Spectrum title which is inspired by the likes of Tetris and Candy Crush, and is the fourth physical release ever.
It’s a great puzzle game, but deceptively devious, since while it looked like I could spend all day playing a single game and would certainly hit 100,000 points, some bad luck at the randomness of the gems/dweebs which come next down the pipeline, and the columns will quickly fill up before you know it, and ‘game over’ is looming on the horizon.
Aladdin 2019 is another movie that I’m not fussed about watching. You know how I feel about kids CGI films, so it won’t surprise you, and this looks so much a film that’s ‘made by committee’ so like the 1992 cartoon version was done to showcase Robin Williams’ talents (and I tired of that after about 30-40 minutes), this looks to be Will Smith playing Will Smith who just happens to be a blue genie. He’s still just Will Smith.
…and this is actually a live-action remke of that 1992 version.
…and it’s directed by Guy Ritchie. Oh dear.
Old-school Bond fans across the galaxy were doubtless enraged when one of the largest ever polls conducted on audiences’ favourite 007 movies revealed that the 2006 film Casino Royale came out on top. The full poll can be found here http://www.ladbible.com/entertainment/bond-poll, but there has been no shortage of commentary from film pundits and fans explaining why the majority of people who came to this conclusion are incorrect.
Pet Sematary 2019 now has a second trailer online, and the film is out in the UK on April 5th.
Check out the trailer below:
The Sun Is Also A Star centres around a teenager who finds love at a difficult time in her family’s life.
Between her and her new beau, will they get together in the end? Who cares. This is sickly-sweet tosh. The end.
A Vigilante gives us Olivia Wilde in the titular role, who helps victims escape their domestic abusers.
The trailer for this is a little bit repetitive, but overall, it does look like it could be pretty good.
