I’ve been a massive fan of Chiwetel Ejiofor ever since I saw him in Serenity 9 years ago. Since then, I’ve been calling for him to get that one major role to catapult his career, but apparently nobody in Hollywood listens to me (unbelievable, I know!). He’s now finally got that role, and all it took was for him to be …

When it comes to reboots, the default response is almost always teeth gnashing followed by some choice four letter words. But 80’s comedy franchise Police Academy is one instance where most film fans probably won’t have any objections, due to the fact that after the first two films, the next five stunk worse than a hobo’s jockstrap.

Cue one desperate scramble …

It’s a pretty emotionally dour week at the movies. There are no cutesy kiddie films or comedies in sight; just drama, desperation to escape and heroes questioning the rightness of the status quo. Noah: The most high profile of this week’s releases is this “inspired by” take on the famous Old Testament Bible story. A man (Russell Crowe) receives visions …
