It appears there’s just no stopping Clint Eastwood. Not only does he star in The Mule, a movie ‘inspired by a true story’, but he’s also on producing and directing duties too. Just when you think you’ve seen him in his last ever role, he’s back, 88 years old and still going strong! Eastwood is […]
On paper, you’d be forgiven for thinking that Instant Family is going to be just like so many other movies you’ve seen over the years. A couple without children of their own decides to adopt and ends up with three troubled siblings of varying ages. And when you read that it’s from director/co-writer Sean Anders,

Set in the Stephen King multiverse, the Maine town of Castle Rock is the setting for this psychological horror thriller spanning ten episodes. It utilises various characters and settings from the authors work, and even actors who have appeared in movie versions of his books, resulting in a unique and richly detailed story which has

Kevin Wendell Crumb, or more specifically the Horde within him, are up to their old tricks again – kidnapping and chaining up four cheerleaders in a disused warehouse, subjecting them to the impressive and unsettling array of characters so brilliantly introduced to us in Split. Meanwhile, David Dunn runs a security company with his son,
This year, I made a resolution to try not to let critic reviews heavily influence my decision to go see a movie or not. In the period between Christmas and New year, I’d booked to go see Holmes and Watson, but when the very bad reviews for it started coming it, I decided to cancel,

I don’t really follow, or know very much about American politics. Trying to cope with whatever Brexit nonsense is happening here in the UK on a daily basis is more than enough for me, so aside from face palming at whatever rubbish Donald Trump is currently spewing on Twitter, I’m fairly oblivious to it all.

It’s easy to draw comparisons between Bird Box and one of this years biggest hits, A Quiet Place. As Malorie (Sandra Bullock), guides two young children towards a boat, all three of them blindfolded and terrified of the consequences should they remove them, the similarities with the post apocalyptic themes of A Quiet Place are
It’s been more than 50 years since Mary Poppins first graced our screens. A timeless, classic Disney movie that’s enchanted families for generations. Some might argue that it didn’t really need a sequel, but Mary Poppins was already loosely based on a series of books anyway, so plenty of material to work with. And if

I have been really looking forward to seeing this movie. I, along with countless millions around the world, have fond memories of watching regular re-runs of Laurel & Hardy movies on TV, and they hold a very special place in so many people’s hearts. Timeless legends that deserve to be remembered for generations to come.

I have mixed feelings when it comes to the Transformers movies. I enjoyed some, disliked others, and haven’t even bothered watching some of them. But with Bumblebee, we get something completely different to what we’ve had before. A stripped back, character driven story with real heart and less city-wide mass destruction. Michael Bay has now
Before I begin, I just wanted to describe my feelings on the state of the DCEU up until now and hopefully this will be a good indication as to whether or not you’re going to agree with me when it comes to Aquaman. So, as I’m sure most people will agree, so far the whole
I cannot believe it’s been 6 years since we last saw Ralph and Vanellope! And when we join them again, they’re still in the same arcade, right where we left them. By day carrying out their respective gaming duties, by night socialising with the other arcade characters and drinking together in Tappers bar. They seem

The first Creed movie breathed fresh life into the tired Rocky franchise, introducing Michael B Jordan as the son of Apollo Creed and having Rocky Balboa mentor him through to becoming a professional boxer. All the familiar key elements were there from previous Rocky movies – the training montages, the love interest, the opponent you
The original Nativity movie is a huge Christmas favourite in the Boardman household. It’s one of the first seasonal Blu-ray’s to get played each year, along with the soundtrack too. The second and third movie are thought of nowhere near as highly though. I managed to sleep through most of one of them at the

My wife and daughter started watching Christmas movies a few weeks back now, far too early in my opinion. But when the trailer first came out for The Christmas Chronicles on Netflix, it definitely got me in the Christmas spirit and I just couldn’t wait to see it. So, on a lazy Sunday morning, cold
