Is Anyone Out There? See 20 Seconds From George Clooney’s THE MIDNIGHT SKY

New ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY Trailer; Not Sold On Felicity Jones As An Intergalactic Badass

Here we have another trailer for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. There’s a lot to like about what they’ve packed into this – but it doesn’t give me the same thrill as the trailers for The Force Awakens. I like the AT-AT action and it’s good [...]

Blu-ray Review: How Good Is Eddie Redmayne’s Oscar-Winning Turn In THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING?

The Theory Of Everything is prime movie awards bait that features someone overcoming a physical ailment to succeed against all odds. I was cynical going into James Marsh’s film but I have to admit that it’s a charming piece of cinema with a well [...]

Movies In Focus Attends The 2015 Baftas And The Full List Of Winners

This is the first time I’ve went into the Baftas with such a clear opinion of who I wanted to win. It was Birdman of course, Alejandro Gonzále’s mesmerising drama starring Michael Keaton. It was never going to be easy though, as Gonzále’s [...]
