Like the doddering sexagenarian at the centre of its plot, Chicken Town lumbers along, frequently mis-stepping and fluffing its lines. It’s a dull, eye-roll-inducing half-way house of a film, neither a biting, black comedy nor an uplifting, whimsical jaunt. British comedy royalty Graham Fellows stars as Kev, who teams up with teenagers, Paula (Amelie Davies) and Jayce (Ethaniel Davy) … Read more

In Ballerina, Ana de Armis proves that absent a simple but powerful backstory—a dead dog—the John Wick universe isn’t nearly as compelling or as exciting to watch. Despite solid action and a prettier-to-look-at protagonist, Ballerina (sorry, officially From the World of John Wick: Ballerina, god bless the marketing team) is a fairly generic and somewhat … Read more

Just when you thought superhero movies were done for, along comes James Gunn’s Superman. It’s the best superhero movie in years.

After 30 years, fans can breathe a sigh of relief – Julie James and Ray Bronson are back! Now, “Who are Julie James and Ray Bronson…and what fans?” I hear you ask.
