One of the most anticipated literary adaptions of the year finally arrives, with a star-studded cast to boot. Unfortunately, for fans of Paula Hawkins’ book, despite the promising components, this is unlikely to live up to any expectations. The film follows Emily Blunt as Rachel, an unemployed alcoholic, as she rides the train into New York…
Every so often a film comes along that is so powerful and intense it absolutely pins you to your seat. Deepwater Horizon is one of those films. This telling of the real-life oilrig disaster holds such a devastating human element that it is even hard to watch at times. The film details the 2010 explosion…
A grown-up, female-fronted comedy is fairly hard to come by so in that sense Bad Moms provides something a little different. Except, despite appearing this way on the surface, it is really a teen movie in disguise. The film follows three mothers (Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell and Kathryn Hahn) tired of trying to do everything perfectly…
David Mackenzie’s tale of two brothers robbing banks brings something different and exciting into the cinema this year. It blends an old western feel with the modern day to provide a strong piece of drama that will enthrall viewers. The film follows struggling father Toby (Chris Pine) and ex-convict Tanner (Ben Foster) as they carry…
Britain’s most beloved heroine is back and there’s no need to worry; this film rises out from the ashes of the many failed belated sequels of recent years. Bridget is the same, but has developed, with the film giving the perfect balance of the old and familiar and the new and exciting. We are reunited…
This film decided to remake the film that (jointly) holds the records for the most Oscars ever won. Lets just let that sink in for a minute. Even if you manage your expectations, or if you haven’t even seen the 1959 version of the story, this rendition barely even qualifies as a decent picture. Ben-Hur (2016)…
The latest offering from Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg and co. is an extremely crude animation, bursting with innuendo, which somehow manages to have a commentary on religion underneath. The film depicts the world through the eyes of our food. Beginning in a supermarket, the food sings the song of their beliefs at the start of…
Amongst the dumping of late-Summer comedies, lies Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates. Whilst seeming promising in its trailers, and despite starring some of the top comedic film talents of current times, the film doesn’t quite manage to be the laugh riots it strives for. The film follows the Stangle brothers (Zac Efron and Adam…
In the modern summers where tentpoles pile upon tentpoles and multiplexes seem full to the brim of high-budget franchises, The Shallows has snuck in as a welcome breath of fresh air and throwback to the low-budget B-movie-esque films that seem to have hugely dissipated in recent years. Blake Lively carries the film as a surfer…
Based on his short film of the same name (which you can find on Youtube), David F. Sandberg has crafted a taut and terrifying horror that is sure to be one of the best of the year (or even in recent times). The film follows Rebecca (Teresa Palmer) as she tries to help her mother…
