If I Had Legs I'd Kick You

Rose Byrne delivers a powerhouse performance as a woman stretched to her limits and far beyond in IF I HAD LEGS I'D KICK YOU . It's the darkest of comedies and the most lethal of dramas wrapped in a relentless fever dream. This is not a fun night at the movies and Writer/Director Mary Bronstein isn't interested in spoon feeding you a tidy narrative. Bronstein and Byrne craft a very tough and delicate woman in Linda. She takes no shit off anyone as her life spins ever so slowly out of control....

Take everything you love about 80's action flicks, douse it in everything you loved about the original "Predator", throw in a hint of "Aliens" military action and you get WAR MACHINE , one of the purest thrill rides I've enjoyed in ages. This thing is a beast that I never saw coming. Alan Ritchson (Reacher, The History of Ungentlemanly Warfare) is a giant of a soldier. As the film opens, we meet him in the middle of Afghanistan military ops, where he and his brother (Jai Courtney) face an...

Wuthering Heights

We are a long way from Emily Bronte's classic in Emerald Fennell's new adaption of WUTHERING HEIGHTS . Wild, sexy, funny, tragic and sometimes just bonkers, Fennell's screenplay infuses Gothic romance with a whole lot of modern sensibilities. Is there some lineage between classic director madman Ken Russell and Emerald? Margot Robbie is Cathy, stunning, impatient and saddled with a decrepit homestead and an alcoholic father, Mr Earnshaw, well played by Martin Clunes (Shakespeare in Love, Doc...

The Russo Brothers have plundered all my built up goodwill with their ridiculously predictable, daft new pirate movie THE BLUFF . How can a film so packed to the top of its treasure chest with action be so dull? I can't fault the two leads, who do everything they can with two underwritten roles. Priyanka Chopra Jonas (Quantico, The Matrix Resurrections) is here to kick ass as Ercell, the wife of a sea captain raising a teenage girl and boy. Their little home on a stunning tropical island (the...

Midwinter Break

Some quiet films cast a spell. In a magical alchemy of beautiful settings, quiet thoughts and masterclass acting, they pull you into their almost silent world. MIDWINTER BREAK is a fine example, sinking us into the everyday life of a couple who have been married for a very long time. The critical, formative action and tragedy in their marriage happened a very long time ago and the two never speak about it. They have found comfort in routine, but can that last forever? Lesley Manville (The...

I haven't had this much unhinged fun at the movies in a long time. Vintage Sam Raimi, SEND HELP is a hilarious horror adventure that's packed with laugh out loud surprises. Rachel McAdams (Doctor Strange, True Detective) kills it in a career defining role as meek, single and devoted employee Linda Liddle. Socially awkward, her most loyal companion is the parakeet she shares her tiny apartment with, making tuna sandwiches nightly for her next day's lunch. Linda is a beast at her keyboard or...
