Long Shot looks like the kind of comedy I’ve seen a zillion times, but I’d heard good things about it, even though 125 minutes does seem way too long for comedy. About 100 minutes should be the max. In this, Seth Rogen (50/50) plays himself, but here, as Fred Flarsky, a journalist who’s about to […]

Free Solo is a film I wish I’d seen on an IMAX screen, but although I missed it in the cinema, luckily, it was quick for it to come to the small screen, even though my small screen is fairly big. The part that you’re most wanting to know about is the climb itself, as […]

A Quiet Place.. SSSSH!! It’s 2020 and the world has been seemingly been abandoned in one of those post-apocalyptic scenarios for reasons that are not delved into, but I like that it doesn’t try to explain anything in terms of how this whole situation came about, so it can just get on with telling the […]
Logan is purportedly the final Wolverine movie, and I’ll only go into as much detail as the Red Band Trailer 2 shows below, as it’s often difficult to know what you can and can’t say about an X-Men film, without giving spoilers. There’s a lot more to discover throughout the long but necessary 137 minutes, […]

The Shallows was pitched as a shark vs. Blake Lively, an actress so deathly dull in never-grow-old drama The Age of Adeline that I willed for the big fish to take her. Will the shark eat her? Will she eat the shark, washed down by a waffer-thin mint? After some initial setup where she laments […]

Ben-Hur 2016 begins with some mad, macho-style posturing, as it fast-forwards to the eventual chariot race when brothers Judah Ben-Hur (Jack Huston) and Messala (Toby Kebbell), his brother from another mother, are at odds with each other: Messala: “You should have stayed away!” Judah Ben-Hur: “You should have killed me!” Messala Severus: (decidedly) “I will.” […]

Gods Of Egypt takes place in a time when everyone relies on the Gods to provide everything they need, which is usually a thinly-veiled excuse to burgle. Channel 4 used to run a similar event in weekly form, calling it Benefits Street. It’s also a time when tears salt the earth, whatever that means. In […]

The Night Before is a Christmas film getting a Blu-ray and DVD release just as spring is attempting to… er… spring. But that’s better than studios waiting a whole year to put such a film out to buy. Ethan’s (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) parents both died just before Christmas Day, 2001, so every year, he, Isaac (Seth […]

Hitman Agent 47 is the second attempt at bringing the big baldy bastard with his big Ballers to the silver screen. The key to being a good hitman is to appear ‘invisible’. That is, to hide in plain sight. Being a nearly-middle-aged man, I find this very easy, indeed. Most people ignore me, particularly women. […]
