Zoe gives us Léa Seydoux (Spectre) in the titular role, as one of two colleagues at a revolutionary research lab design technology, who look to improve and perfect romantic relationships. As their work progresses, their discoveries become more profound. Made by Amazon, Theo James plays Ash, a ‘synthetic’, aka a ‘synth’, so just like as […]
Christopher Robin is… hang on, haven’t we already had this? Okay, so that was Goodbye Christopher Robin, but why do we always get two films in quick succession about a particular subject that no-one’s been too fussed about for a while? I first remember coming across this in 1991 with Patrick Bergin’s Robin Hood, and […]
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 […]

Choose T2 Trainspotting. Choose following up the original film 20 years later with a film that’s a mixture of Irvine Welsh‘s sequel novel, Porno, and a new story, and realising that T2 Trainspotting is a much better title to beam out of the cinema box office laser display screen than that of the original book.

T2, aka Trainspotting 2, is the film title for Danny Boyle’s sequel to the 1996 classic Trainspotting, based on the novel by Irvine Welsh. The sequel is actually called Porno, but presumably that’s not a word that your local multiplex can have beaming out from their electronic display boards… Dom RobinsonReviewer of movies, videogames and […]

Miles Ahead‘s rather loose storyline is that journalist Dave Braben (Ewan McGregor) claims to have been sent by Rolling Stone magazine to write a story about the fact Miles has been awawy from the music business for five years. It plays a bit fast with the truth, since Braben never actually existed, and seems to […]

It centres around young Oxford academic Perry Makepeace (Ewan McGregor, who had an uncredited Obi-Wan Kenobi voice appearance in Star Wars Episode VII: […]
Last Days in the Desert stars Ewan McGregor is Jesus, as well as the Devil, in an imagined chapter from his forty days of fasting and praying in the desert. On his way out of the wilderness, Jesus struggles with the Devil over the fate of a family in crisis, setting for himself a dramatic […]
