Horrible Histories: The Movie – Rotten Romans brings the series to the big screen (for the second time, following 2015’s Shakespeare comedy, Bill), and begins with Claudius (portrayed – as with the 1976 TV series – by Derek Jacobi) being very unwell due to poison, but a quick vomit joke makes him feel a lot […]

Fighting With My Family didn’t look like it was going to win me over from the trailer, but I like to check out as many films as I can, so did it flex its muscle in the ring? (Oo-er, missus!) It tells the true story of a wrestling family as they vent their spleens in […]

Roman teenager Atti (Sebastian Croft) is forced to join the Roman Army when one of […]

Slaughterhouse Rulez comes across as being set at an old-time grammar boarding school, seemingly as anarchic as a St Trinians movie, but with the inference that not all of the pupils – at this mixed school – make it out alive. Don (Finn Cole, above-right) is starting his first term, there, and has the hots […]

Fighting With My Family looks like the perfect example of a film where once you’ve seen the trailer, you’ve seen the entire film. Nick Frost is former wrestler Ricky Knight who, together with his family, make a living performing at small venues around the country, while his children dream of joining World Wrestling Entertainment. However, […]
Slaughterhouse Rulez takes place at an illustrious British boarding school, which becomes a bloody battleground when a mysterious sinkhole appears at a nearby fracking site, unleashing unspeakable horror. It looks okay, but while I find Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are great together in anything when they team up with Edgar Wright (eg. Spaced, Shaun […]
Sick Note had me from the trailer, simply because it’s the first time I’ve seen Don Johnson in a TV series since Miami Vice. However, the series mainly centres around Daniel Glass (Rupert Grint), who’s accidentally killed his girlfriend’s cat. Becca (Pippa Bennett-Warner) is already on the verge of throwing him out, and since he […]

Last Christmas begins with perennial annoyance Nick Frost as Santa Claus/Father Christmas (his character is referred to as both, even though the credits only call him the former), when he’s spotted by Clara (Jenna Coleman). After a rather tedious exchange, The Doctor (Peter Capaldi) turns up and whisks her into the TARDIS, the Doctor then […]
