STX Entertainment bring us the exciting new thriller – Secret In Their Eyes. The movie stars Julia Roberts and Chiwetel Ejiofor as FBI partners, and Nicole Kidman as their supervisor. The trio are torn apart when they discover that Jess’s (Roberts) teenage daughter has been brutally and inexplicably murdered. Thirteen years later, Ray (Ejiofor) returns to Los Angeles after uncovering …
If you follow these things, you would know that Quentin Tarantino has been in the news quite a bit recently after he made public statements at an anti-police brutality rally calling police “murderers”. That earned him not just the enmity of various US police groups, who have now called for a boycott of his upcoming western The Hateful Eight, but also …
2013 – The year of the White House. Or more accurately, the year of movies about terrorists trying to take over the White House, as director Roland Emmerich and star Channing Tatum’s White House Down went toe to toe with director Antoine Fuqua and star Gerard Butler’s Olympus Has Fallen. Personally, while I didn’t think either film was really spectacular, …
Be still my beating heart, Geralt and his shenanigans will be coming to the big screen sometime in 2017 and I am bursting with excitement, and fear. Fear they will cock it up… Let’s pretend they won’t and remember that although there is a curse placed on movies based on games this is in fact a movie based on the stories of Andrzej …
There’s a whole lot of nothing special out this week. Besides for the cold-war drama Bridge of Spies, everything else scores less than 50% on Rotten Tomatoes.

But while the film was …
I was not a fan of Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland. Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t hate it; but that would probably have been a more favourable response because then I would have felt something instead of the overwhelming meh-ness I actually left the cinema with. Clearly though, my opinion about movies is about as important as Alwynne’s opinions …
One of the best espionage dramas to come out of Britain in the last few years is the the spy show Spooks. The series focused on a group of MI-5 officers and ran for 10 seasons culminating with 6 million viewers tuning in for the finale back in 2011. And it would seem that that kind of viewership has prompted …
