King Of Thieves is strange in its existence. 2017 brought us The Hatton Garden Job, a movie about the titular bank heist where old men robbed the bank over the Easter weekend of 2015, the team containing Larry Lamb, Clive Russell, Phil Daniels and David Calder, so that’s just four. This new film retreads the […]

Entebbe is also known as 7 Days In Entebbe, since the film was given two titles due to events spending that amount of time in that Ugandan airport after terrorists hijack the Air France Flight 139, which was headed from Tel Aviv to Paris, with them joining at the point when the plane was on […]

Darkest Hour gives Gary Oldman a turn as Prime Minister Winston Churchill, after Brian Cox’s Churchill last year, but with Oldman as the man at the time of the Dunkirk evacuations, so incredibly portrayed last summer in Christopher Nolan’s IMAX epic, Dunkirk. Nolan’s film was quite a visual feast, but Cox’s turn has rather been […]

Baby Driver is another of those heist films where the protagonist has to complete just one more job, and he’s out… and you’ll just know that there’s no escape, since why would a bad-guy boss let you go when you’re so damn good at your job? However, don’t let the initial premise put you off, […]

Bridget Jones’ Baby – let’s get this right from the start. For me, that’s the title, NOT “Bridget Jones’s Baby”. Who puts the extra, redundant ‘s’ in these things? Probably the same people who say ‘forward slash’ in a web address, when it’s just ‘slash’. You’d only have a ‘back slash’ if you had an […]

The Progman centres around investigative Sunday Times sports writer David Walsh (Chris O’Dowd) covering the Tour de France, getting suspicious about Lance Armstrong’s (Ben Foster) team because they’re winning tour after tour, but Armstrong can’t be to blame, surely? After all, his career’s took a huge setback in 1996 after he was diagnosed with testicular […]

Everest is the tale of how Ted Moult built up his famous double-glazing company… Well, at least that’s what I was led to believe… (not really). As of 1992, it had become a business for climbers to be guided up Mount Everest, and this film tells the tale of a big climb to be made […]

The Theory of Everything stars Birdsong‘s Eddie Redmayne as Professor Steven Hawking, who was also played, brilliantly, in the 2004 BBC film Hawking, by Benedict Cumberbatch. Both are going head-to-head in the 2015 Awards season, with the latter as Alan Turing in The Imitation Game. A chance meeting at a University party in 1963 quickly […]
