Stockholm tells the bizarre, but true, story of the infamous 1973 hostage crisis in Stockholm, and a tale of Stockholm Syndrome, where the captor bonds with the criminal – in this case, Kaj Hansson (Ethan Hawke) and Bianca Lind (Noomi Rapace), respectively. The film looks quite daft, but fun escapism. Dom RobinsonReviewer of movies, videogames […]
The Kid is not a remake of the decent Bruce Willis time-travel-based movie from 2000 which most people have forgotten about, but a new take on the Billy The Kid story, and one which looks as gritty as the original Young Guns did, back in 1988, while the sequel was a bit more comical and […]

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets is based on a 1960s French comic book series called Valerian and Laureline, the two main characters, and while the title sounds as bizarre as you’d expect from Besson, it’s based on two of those volumes, The City of Shifting Waters and Empire of a Thousand Planets.
