It looks okay, but while I find Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are great together in anything when they team up with Edgar Wright (eg. Spaced, Shaun […]

Journey’s End is the seminal British play about World War I, set in a dugout in Aisne in 1918. It tells the tale of a group of British officers, led by the mentally disintegrating young officer Stanhope (Sam Claflin), variously awaiting their fate. Possibly entertainming, but doesn’t look wildly different from anything we’ve seen before. […]

Shortly after landing, she dies from complications […]

When Jacob (Asa Butterfield) discovers clues to a mystery […]
