Edgar Wright’s remake is action-packed – but surprisingly light on substance. As a lifelong fan of the British filmmaker – the sort who still quotes the Cornetto Trilogy (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and The World’s End) regularly – I was genuinely excited to see him take on Stephen King’s The Running Man. If ever there were a story suited to his flair for kinetic action and sharp humour, this seemed like it. Glen Powell steps in as Ben Richards, a desperate man flung into a d

Amazing jump out of your seat chills with 2:22 A Ghost Story at the New Theatre shouldn’t be missed this week. 2:22 A Ghost Story opened earlier this week and we’ve still got goose bumps! What a great piece of thrilling theatre. Don't miss your chance to see it as its run ends on Saturday November 29. For Strictly fans who remember dancer Kevin Clifton  - ‘Kevin from Grimsby’ – you’re in for your first shock as he shows a whole new set of talents as the science-obsessed scep

As a film reviewer myself, I usually avoid reading other reviews before I see a film – I don’t like going in with someone else’s opinion rattling around my head.   But with Christmas Karma, curiosity got the better of me. I had a little peek . . . and yikes. There have been some really scathing reviews!  Normally, that would be enough to put me off, but my mum really wanted to see this – and you don’t cancel a Christmas cinema trip with your Mum. That would put anyone on Sant

Despite potential fears that ‘dumbing down’ Predator from its more accustomed bloodier rating of ‘15’ to ‘12A’ would impact the series – it couldn’t be further from the truth. Director Dan Trachtenberg follows up his highly-acclaimed direct-to-streaming entry with the Native American-set Prey, to provide something just as spectacular – in a completely different way. This is without doubt looking to the future by giving the franchise a ‘broader’ appeal. And it works. In fact,

Pure joy for kids – and surprisingly delightful for adults too! When I asked Gav if I could review Gabby’s Dollhouse, he didn’t exactly put up much of a fight when allowing me to do so! As a middle-aged man, I’m certainly not the target demographic, but my seven-year-old son really wanted to watch it, and erm... we did. And I must be honest when I say that... I became fully immersed in the experience. The film stars Laila Lockhart Kraner, reprising her role as Gabby (as from

The legendary UK ska band Bad Manners are set to return to Peterborough after 23 years! Christmas starts on Wednesday December 3  when for the first time since they headlined The Willow Festival many years ago Bad Manners are back and playing at The Met Lounge as part of their Xmas 2025 tour. The band last played Peterborough in 2002 when they headlined The Willow Festival in July before returning to play a show at The Park later that year. Bad Manners are an English two-tone

A chilling sequel that rings true... Black Phone 2 takes the eerie premise of its predecessor and ventures deeper into thrilling, supernatural territory. Directed once again by Scott Derrickson (Doctor Strange), the film sees Ethan Hawke return as the menacing Grabber, while Mason Thames and Madeleine McGraw reprise their roles as youngsters Finney and Gwen Blake. Newcomers Demián Bichir (Alien: Covenant) and Jeremy Davies (Saving Private Ryan) also add fresh texture to the e

Will TRON ever have a large enough following to make the box-office money it so desperately wants from a big-budget movie? Yep – as me and my son found out at Easter with the ninety minute plus queue for the Lightcycle ride at Orlando’s Disney World – the appetite is potentially there, but the series really does seem to struggle to reach blockbuster status. And here, despite visual decadence, this – just like with the original TRON (1982) and it’s Legacy sequel (2010) – never

A small film with a big heart – and one that’ll stay with you long after the credits roll. I took my mum to see I Swear, and before the lights dimmed, I warned her there would probably be tears based on what I’d seen in the trailer. There were indeed tears. Lots of them. Not just from us, but from several people around the room. But there was laughter too – and gasps – the kind of emotional ‘ebb and flow’ that only a film truly in tune with its audience can pull off. Directed
