I had very mixed feelings ahead of watching Sacha Baron Cohen’s latest film Grimsby. Over the years I’ve loved some of his work, most notably Ali G and Borat – two of the funniest characters I can remember during my youth. It was also something of a novelty to be heading to watch a film named after a place that ...

I’m always interested when a big cast comes together for a film – and crooked cop action thriller Triple 9 certainly has that going for it. Set in Atlanta (I know, not LA, New York or Chicago for once), John Hillcoat’s (Lawless) latest offering follows the story of a criminal group of corrupt cops and former special forces operatives who ...

Ed Byrne: Outside, Looking In Wednesday, March 2, 8pm King’s Lynn Corn Exchange Tickets £20 Box office: 01553 764864 That bloke. You know. The Irish guy. No, not the bald one. The other one. You know him. The one Carol from work really likes. Wait, that might be Jason Byrne. Anyway. Funny chap. Has a new show! ‘There is nothing ...

If you’re thinking “not another superhero film” I’d understand your scepticism – but Deadpool isn’t like anything Marvel, DC or Fox have done in recent years. Those of you (like me) that lap up the seemingly endless supply of superhero movies will know what I mean when I say this Ryan Reynolds-led offering pretty much breaks all of the traditional ...

Circus Mondao is back for another season and there’s still time to catch a show before the circus hits the road. The Big Top is pitched at Baytree Nurseries Garden Centre, Weston, and there are shows today (Thursday), tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday. It’s a great show for all the family to enjoy, with a host of international artistes from around ...

I’m perhaps in the minority here, but I’ve not yet seen the original Point Break. I don’t really know why, as the Kathryn Bigelow-directed 1991 offering starring Keanu Reeves and the late Patrick Swayze looks right up my street. Strangley, that probably put me in the best position to pass judgement on Ericson Core’s remake. Although I’m aware the original ...

It was hard not to feel a little disappointed with the human race after taking in Adam McKay’s black comedy The Big Short. Based on the Michael Lewis book of the same name, McKay’s (Anchorman) latest offering portrays the lead up to and beginning of the global financial crisis in 2008. It’s the true story of how four businessmen anticipated ...

You’re probably fed up of hearing about The Revenant amid the clamour for Leonardo DiCaprio to be given an elusive Oscar for his portrayal of American frontiersman Hugh Glass. Even the man himself seems tired of the Oscar talk – but on this occasion you really should jump aboard the hype train and check out Alejandro González Iñárritu’s (Birdman) survival ...

There’s a certain prestige that comes with every Quentin Tarantino release that very few film directors command. If you’re down with his style of film-making (and I most certainly am) then it’s a fair bet that you’ve been looking forward to the Kill Bill, Pulp Fiction and Django Unchained director’s eighth offering for some time. Aptly named The Hateful Eight, ...

The original Star Wars releases were the first films that I genuinely loved as a child growing up. I’m probably (OK, definitely) not alone in that fact, so any new Star Wars offering was always going to be a really big deal worldwide. The worry for many was that new director JJ Abrams would produce something akin to the more ...

Dishonoured is the first feature-length film to be fully filmed within South Holland. A dedicated cast and crew – all made up of local people – have been working for months to put together the action thriller ready for its premiere on the big screen on January 26. Filming has taken place in a variety of locations, including a Long ...

Let’s be honest, it doesn’t get much better in the world of cinema than Tom Hanks starring in a Steven Spielberg film. It’s a collaboration that most memorably delivered us the amazing Saving Private Ryan, while Catch Me If You Can and The Terminal were also pretty big hits. The pair also co-produced the incredible Band Of Brothers and The ...

I’ve been looking forward to Black Mass for quite some time – with it having been released over in America way back in September. Starring the always awesome Johnny Depp as notorious Boston mobster James “Whitey” Bulger and boasting a huge supporting cast, it always looked like being one of the gangster films of the year. And if, like me, ...

When it comes to stage entertainment this close to Christmas, there really is only one thing worth considering – a good traditional pantomime. And The Key Theatre and The Cresset in Peterborough are both offiering just that. The Key’s panto this year is Aladdin and promises to deliver everything you expect – an all singing, all dancing month of music, ...

The Lavender Hill Mob Theatre Company makes a welcome return to Pinchbeck Village Hall on Sunday, with special guest singer/songwriter Phoebe Mullard. The Lavender Hill Mob is a King’s Lynn-based charity organisation which caters for the needs of children and young adults who have learning difficulties or have trouble coping with everyday life in general. Through music and song they ...

Against all of the odds, The Hunger Games films have been consistently awesome action spectacles over the past few years. In the crowded young adult (YA) genre that contains quite a few stinkers (Twilight, I’m looking at you), the quadrilogy based on the Suzanne Collins books have always impressed. With the always-impressive Jennifer Lawrence an inspired choice as lead Katniss ...
