It’s taken me a long time to catch up on season 2 of Master of None but I’m so glad I finally did. Season 1 didn’t really grab me as much as I hoped it would and I probably only stuck with it out of my love of Aziz Ansari from his time on the […]

I’m always wary heading into the cinema to see a ‘family’ movie, especially those featuring a CGI main character interacting with live human actors. Alvin and the Chipmunks, The Smurfs, The Scooby Doo movie – they’ve all done a pretty good job of destroying the genre, along with countless others. Even the better films struggle

I always start my reviews of movie comedies by complaining how most of them just aren’t that funny. Usually having a raucous trailer which combines every single one of the movies mildly funny moments into two or three minutes of high energy in an attempt to con you into buying a ticket. And I usually

Anytime I mention to my family that I’m going to see a Tom Cruise movie, they roll their eyes and take the piss. The words ‘man crush’ are used, and I just take it on the chin (sometimes). The truth is though, many of my favourite movies are Tom Cruise movies. I’m not a fan
I wasn’t sure what to make of The Hitman’s Bodyguard when I first saw the poster. Movies which try to squeeze some comedy out of two people being thrown together who don’t really like each other generally tend to suck. But then I saw the trailer, which made it look entertaining and worth a watch.

It’s probably best not to take this review too seriously as I actually managed to fall asleep during this movie at two or three separate points so I’m not sure how much of it I missed!! Note to self: Do not go on a brewery tour, followed by a tasting session, just a few short
Usually when I review comedies I start off by complaining about how disappointing they tend to be these days. Sometimes they manage to prove me wrong (Bad Moms), sometimes they’re not quite as bad as I was expecting (Baywatch). The last time I was seriously annoyed about how bad a comedy was it was Office
I feel disappointed. The first pirates movie was such a huge hit. So much fun, great music, great performances, and I loved it. I enjoyed the second pirates movie just a little bit more than the first too. But then I couldn’t even begin to tell you what happened in the others, they were just

OK, here’s the deal. Despite being a male in his late teens when it originally aired, I don’t think I ever watched an episode of Baywatch all the way through.
Colossal is written and directed by Nacho Vigalondo, who also wrote and directed 2007’s Timecrimes. One of my favourite movies and probably the best movie about time travel that isn’t Back to the Future! So, I’d been looking forward to catching this, his latest movie, for a while now. Luckily, it didn’t disappoint. Anne Hathaway
We’re in 1970s Boston. A couple of local idiots, one of them bruised and sore from a recent brawl, have been hired by some visiting Irishmen as extra muscle for an arms deal and are on their way to where the exchange is due to take place. They arrive at the abandoned warehouse where it’s
So, Sing FINALLY makes it to UK cinemas after hitting US screens last year. Sing follows the trend set by last year’s Disney hit Zootropolis and is set in a bustling city populated with pretty much every species of animal you could imagine. A brief whirl around the city introduces us to a number of
I wasn’t sure if I was going to like La La Land. Despite gathering much five star praise for what seems like forever now, I really wasn’t getting that feeling from the trailer which just came across as silly to me. So I went into the movie sceptical, and in a slightly tired and grumpy
When I was reviewing Bad Moms a few months ago, I spoke about my distrust and general disappointment regarding movies specifically billing themselves as comedies. Trailers for these movies condense all of the wackiness and humour into 2 or 3 minutes, giving the impression of something which is going to be a laugh a minute

The tribe lives on a small, beautiful lush island and from a very young age Moana is repeatedly drawn to the ocean. The ocean seems to like her too, mysteriously parting and
