Kong: Skull Island – 10/03
“Oh, hey there, er… Bob. Fancy coming on a cruise to a tropical island?” “Wow, yeah, that sounds great. What’s the name of the place?” “Skull Island.” “FUCK no, dude, I’m out. That sounds like a pure shit-fest. Next you’ll be telling me that it’s inhabited by cannibals, dinosaurs and giant, aggressive primates.” “Well…”
Prevenge – 15/03
Alice Lowe (Sightseers) directs and stars in this dark tale of a pregnant widow who, believing that she is being told to by her unborn baby, embarks on a killing spree, dispatching anyone in her (and her foetus’s) way. Wow. I’ve heard of “baby crazy”, but this takes it to a whole new level.
Beauty and the Beast – 17/03
Tale as old as time…so I don’t need to tell you about it. It’s the same film, but with real people.
Free Fire – 31/03
This high octane, action thriller from Ben Wheatley is definitely a must-see for fans of gun-fights in warehouses. Why? Because it’s a two hour gun-fight in a warehouse. With Cillian Murphy. And Armie Hammer. In 1970s Boston. Any questions? Good.

Chicken Town: World Premiere
I’ve never seen a movie that can jump between comedy and grounded realism with such ease and respect. ..... There is real, genuine importance in this movie. Even after becoming properly engrossed in these characters and the themes present in the movie, I keep on thinking that there are deeper meanings that will register with me on a rewatch.

SOUP presents THE BOWL
I know I've said it before, but it can't be understated how rare it is to see a brave new fledgling sitcom appear - never mind locally! I have to mention that the soundtrack to the episode was entirely original, which is unbelievably impressive for a project such as this. The leaflet I was given prior to the screening said that the pilot promised to be ‘bold, vibrant and entertaining’ - and that's absolutely what it is. That sums it up pretty well. There's a lot to be proud of here. I can't wait to say ‘I knew them when' years down the line.
