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.

A MINECRAFT MOVIE

...switching your brain off entirely is probably the best way to enjoy this movie. It’s easy to do, the movie is insane. I loved it.

Snow White

Late Night with the Devil

Late Night with the Devil proves we secretly love when live TV goes wrong, watching the truth unfold and people squirm under pressure. Except this time, you’ll probably be the ones squirming. Enjoy the show.
