WHAT I LIKED: On the one hand, 'The Death of Stalin,' is easily the funniest film of the year, as it's genuinely laugh-a-minute stuff that combines smart political satire and slapstick humour with brilliant confidence and ease. The script and each... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: 'Coco,' is quite frankly the most delightful and simple instant-classic that we've had from Pixar since 'Finding Nemo,' as it brings its happy, child-friendly appeal seamlessly into another brilliantly innovative and truly timeless s... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Adapting Frederick Forsyth's brilliant 'Day of the Jacakal,' was never going to be an easy task, but what Fred Zinnemann does so successfully here is that he mainly focuses on the last half of the book so that he can explore the more... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: 'The Book of Life,' is on the one hand a very snappy and engaging animation, but as much as anything it also feels like a kind of family arts and culture show as it beautifully brings to life the Mexican Day of the Dead festival for... Read the full review »

'Darkest Hour' Review
There have been over seventy renditions of Winston Churchill over the years, so with Gary Oldman now picking up the cigar in Joe Wright's 'Darkest Hour,' the question is very much what new approach he and the film can bring to the table with a mor... Read the full blog post »
