Actors love to play against type. Some take it to another level. Channing Tatum, only recently dubbed the sexiest man alive, wouldn’t necessarily be the first choice for a down on his luck anti-hero who […]

DUNKIRK
Dunkirk is a lot of things. Counter-intuitively, Christopher Nolan’s latest is better defined by what it isn’t. It is not a war film, at least not in the traditional sense. Set amidst the large-scale military […]
A MONSTER CALLS
Some of the best films ever made chronicle the sad, terrible, fixating and/or fantastical ways we deal with grief. This is not one of them. Centred on English schoolboy Conor’s (Lewis MacDougall) attempts to come […]
