The Visit Two young kids, a sister and her little brother, go away to a remote farmhouse and spend a week with the grandparents they had never met, as their single mum has been estranged from them for years since she left home. But all is not as it seems… I don’t particularly like M Night...

Deadpool Ridiculously violent. Tremendous fun. My quibble would be the jumping around between the intense (and gloriously fun) action scene from the start, and blending this with the back-story until the whole thing "caught up". I found myself irritated by that, and was just waiting for the...

I did. 7.9 is a very decent score in my book, that's almost 8 out of 10. Got to leave some room for the stuff that really is absolutely BRILLIANT though.

Bridge of Spies There's really not an awful lot "going on" in this movie, other than a lawyer having lots of conversations with his client, the FBI, the judge, and various eastern bloc officials. It could have been a complete borefest, but thanks to a sharply written script and a beautifully...

Aye, she's quite a canny boiler and plays a decent supporting role. But Hardy totally carries that film from start to finish - I'd have struggled to give it a 5 were it not for his performance.

I liked Creed, and I actually think it would be a fitting end to the saga. The series really has run its course now, and without giving out spoilers, I just cannot see how they can possibly eek another Rocky film out of Sly, let alone another 3 or 4 !! I agree on the single continuous take...

Just watched The Revenant. Unrelentingly brutal, and I have to agree with Meade's Ball, the cast look like they must have gone through hell making it. I actually had to go and put the heating on at one point, I've not felt this cold watching a film since Sly Stallone's t-shirt rockclimbing...

It does rule out a pub visit beforehand doesn't it. I absolutely HATE going for a slash in the middle of a film. And no matter how good the film is, I do find 3 hours in a cinema a real slog.

Firestick / Kodi. In my living room. Not HD quality, but no worse than standard def. And 5.1 surround. Jobs a goodun. My mate has the slight hump as we had this pegged a long time back for a cinema visit this month, but once I saw it was a very decent stream, I couldn't resist. Wouldn't have...

The Hateful Eight I am a massive Tarantino fan and have been eagerly anticipating this for months. The first hour of its 3 hours+ running time set things up beautifully, but from there on, for me, it fell rather flat. Samuel L Jackson dominates of course, and is given plenty of long scenes of...
