Wild Bill brings us something I’d never have imagined from when I was first regularly watching ITV as a kid in the ’80s – first of all, it starts movie legend Rob Lowe, and secondly (and especially in the light of how they once treated Robocop at the time), this drama includes a fair bit […]

The Ghost Monument begins where The Woman Who Fell To Earth left off – apart from this time we have some opening credits, now – with The Doctor (Jodie Whittaker) and the new trio of companions floating about in space and waiting for a Vogon Constructor Fleet to beam them up, but since Arthur Dent […]
Ready Player One is set in Columbus, Ohio, in the year 2045, where Wade Watts (Tye Sheridan) lives in the Stacks (high-rise caravan slums, basically) and he dreams of a life out of there, like everyone else. Everyone is way over-addicted to Virtual Reality and has the requisite headset, which work even better when you […]

Save Me centres around Nelly (Lennie James), rather a modern day Arthur Daley, doing a bit of wheeling and dealing here and there, rather than a proper job. He has principles to a degree, but being monogamous isn’t one of them, as he lives with Tina, aka ‘Teens’ (Kerry Godliman), but he’s sleeping with several […]

Bad Day For The Cut is a good day for revenge movies, when farmer Donal (Nigel O’Neill) is naturally perturbed when his mother, Florence (Stella McCusker), is murdered, and he catches the bad guys still on his property, sort-of. It’s like a road/chase movie that goes from A to B to C, and so on, […]

Away is where everyone wants to get to, once in a while, but here, it’s the mismatched pairing of widower Joseph (Timothy Spall) and ex-junkie Ria (Juno Temple), as they meet in a film which drew me in and I found to be very enchanting. Meeting in Blackpool, fate brings them together as Joseph has […]

And this drama looks as exciting as it sounds… Directed by Jim Sheridan, and based on the novel by Sebastian Barry, the film also stars Theo James, Aidan Turner, Eric Bana, Jack […]
Apple Tree Yard sees well-to-do scientist Yvonne Carmichael (Emily Watson) chancing an affair with the mysterious and charismatic Mark Costley (Ben Chaplin), thus jeopardising her happy marriage and two children. It begins with our female lead going to court before it flashes back to nine months earlier for the reason for it all. Since we […]
