Lucy In The Sky (with diamonds, hence the title of the film and how the trailer leads into the song by The Beatles) stars Natalie Portman in the titular role of Lucy Cola, a female astronaut who, upon returning to Earth from a life-changing mission in space, begins to slowly unravel and lose touch with […]
Her Smell is an oddly-titled movie where Elisabeth Moss (Queen Of Earth, The Handmaid’s Tale) plays self-destructive punk rocker Becky Something, who struggles with sobriety while trying to recapture the creative inspiration that led her band to success. However, for me, this trailer seemed like such a mess and I was left feeling like I […]
The Man Who Invented Christmas centres around how Charles Dickens (Dan Stevens) created Ebenezer Scrooge (Christopher Plummer), Tiny Tim and a number of other classic characters from the timeless tale, A Christmas Carol, as he mixed real life inspirations with his vivid imagination, in what looks like a very amusing family film based on the […]
Marshall tells a tale I’d not come across before, about the young Thurgood Marshall (Chadwick Boseman – Black Panther), the first African-American Supreme Court Justice, as he battles through one of his career-defining cases. The film is released in the US on October 13th, but as of yet there’s no UK date. Thurgood Marshall is […]
Kill Switch, aka Redivider, centres around pilot Will Porter (Dan Stevens, who was brilliant in The Guest, and also took the lead opposite Emma Watson in Beauty and the Beast), who battles to save his family and the planet after an experiment for unlimited energy goes wrong. The trailer looks for a decent apocalyptic film, […]
Beauty and the Beast – Meh. More or less a beat-by-beat retread of the animation. On the couple of occasions it adds something new, it’s quite good, but adds little to the original. Emma Watson is dull as ditchwater as Belle. The best thing you can say about her performance is – at least it […]

No Comments »The Ticket sees Dan Stevens (The Guest) co-star with Malin Akerman (Stolen) in a film where he plays blind man James, who regains his vision and finds himself becoming metaphorically blinded by his obsession for the superficial. Also starring Kerry Bishé (Rupture, Argo), Oliver Platt and Liza J Bennett, and being written by Ido Fluk […]
Colossal looked interesting at first in this brief trailer, as Gloria (Anne Hathaway) realises much later than everyone else (thanks to being in a drunken stupor) that there’s a monster terrorising Seoul, just walking through buildings without looking down. And then she realises that SHE is controlling it. But how? or why? We’re not told […]
Norman, or to give it its full title – Norman: The Moderate Rise and Tragic Fall of a New York Fixer – is Norman Oppenheimer (Richard Gere), a small time operator who befriends a young politician at a low point in his life. Three years later, when the politician becomes an influential world leader, Norman’s […]
Beauty and the Beast finds Emma Watson taking time off from fannying around at the United Nations to become Belle in a new live-action Disney retelling of a tale I never saw in any other form previously, and I am unlikely to indulge in this latest version of girlie nonsense, also. If you’ve been under […]
