Catch-22 is a famous novel, and as it’s a book, I’ve not read it, but now it’s been made into a “limited series”, which means it’s a one-off series that won’t spawn a second… …Well, author Joseph Heller wrote a sequel in 1994, Closing Time, so if this is successful, I expect we’ll also see […]

No Comments »Suburbicon, so far, only has a brief premise about how a home invasion rattles a quiet family town, but this looks a hilarious and punchy (literally) comedy, led by Matt Damon as Gardner, whose wife has been bumped off and now he has to protect what’s left of his family. I loved every moment of […]
Money Monster begins with the financial breaking news that Ibis Clear Capital’s shares plumetted due to “a glitch in their algorithm”, since all our money is just zeroes and ones in the electronic ether, rather than cold hard cash in the bank. George Clooney is Lee Gates, the host of the titular financial advice show, […]

Return of the Killer Tomatoes is the first film I watched after Andrei Tarkovsky’s Ivan’s Childhood, and the two films couldn’t be any more different. I have to say, at this point, that I have never seen the first movie, Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, but I’d doubt I was at a disadvantage when it […]

It’s made him the money Wizard of Wall Street, but after he hawks a high tech stock that mysteriously crashes, irate investor Kyle Budwell (Jack O’Connell) takes Gates, […]
Tomorrowland: A World Beyond is a film which looked intriguing from the trailer and clips I’d seen, but was ultimately flawed in its execution, not least because you felt like you’d seen the best of it before stepping foot into the cinema. It centres around a futuristic pin which, if the owner touches it, transports […]

Tomorrowland is a forthcoming futuristic drama starring George Clooney, and this trailer really sets the scene – moreso than the teaser released last October, especially since I love films which involve time travel, although this looks like it’s just plain bizarre as to what’s going on. Bound by a shared destiny, a bright, optimistic teen […]

Gravity is only the second-ever film I’ve gone to see twice at the cinema on its initial run. The other one was… erm… Die Hard 2, but hey, back in 1990 you weren’t ever going to get a full widescreen video for some time, so the only way to experience all the action was on […]
The Monuments Men is a film that can be summed up in one sentence, and really should be meant to play out equally succinctly but, unfortunately, is allowed by its director and lead actor, George Clooney, to drag out for a mind-numbing two hours. Under the order from President Franklin D Roosevelt, art experts Frank […]
