I knew nothing about the topic he’s studying, but I figured […]

Elisa Esposito (Sally Hawkins) and Zelda D Fuller (Octavia Spencer) are the facility’s resident cleaners, the former being a mute and the most curious about […]

Arrival: In a word… Weeeeeeeeeeeird! But that wouldn’t make much of a review. In a nutshell, it’s another film where aliens arrive on Earth, but onc that’s centred more in the mould of drama than action, and begins with a dark, foreboding score by Jóhann Jóhannsson, particularly the additional track from Max Richter, On the […]

Doctor Strange is a brilliant, but arrogant, neurosurgeon. He also must earn a fortune since he has a drawer full of rotating watches – yes, individually rotating, for no apparent reason, and presumably still continue to rotate once the drawer is closed!

New legislation requiring more stringent background checks for gun ownership is gaining traction in Congress, and Sloane […]
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 […]
