Film review: Big Hero 6 (PG)

By Nigel Chapman The radio advert screms at us: “The best Disney film since Frozen!” Now, it might be due to the fact that you can’t so much as boil an egg in the time between hearing any number of squawked renditions of Let It Go, but Frozen still seems pretty fresh to me (in fact it was released in ...

Film review: Taken 3 (12A)

Do you remember how good the original Taken was? Cast your mind back to 2008, when Liam Neeson firmly announced himself as a go to guy in the action genre. His character Bryan Mills was as ruthless as 24’s Jack Bauer and as inventive as Jason Bourne when I came to bringing the pain to any bad guys in his ...

Film review: Exodus Gods and Kings 3D (12A)

Whether you’re a religious person or not, I imagine that most of you are familiar with the story of Moses. I’ll level with you, the Bible isn’t really my thing. You may feel differently – and if that’s the case, you probably have a strong feeling on how this story should be depicted. Whatever you believe, director Ridley Scott’s (Gladiator) ...

Film review: Dumb and Dumber To (15)

Dumb and Dumber To (15) review from Boston’s West End Cinema I wasn’t one of the many people clamouring for a Dumb and Dumber sequel. Sure, I enjoyed the 1994 original for what it was – a ridiculously stupid, yet undeniably funny comedy that showcased the abilities of two talented actors. Some of you may have it on your list ...

Film review: The Hobbit – The Battle of the Five Armies 3D (12A)

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies 3D (12A) Over the past three years it’s safe to say that few films have matched The Hobbit trilogy in terms of offering a stellar cinematic experience. Like Avatar, Gravity and more recently Interstellar, some films were just made for the grand stage – and I class Peter Jackson’s latest Tolkien trio ...

Film review: The Pyramid (15)

The Pyramid (15) review My expectations weren’t too high ahead of catching horror flick The Pyramid at Boston’s West End Cinema – but it wasn’t quite as bad as I was expecting. Granted, there is nothing too original about the script and there are no real stand-out performances from the cast. Yet it did (mostly) keep me interested right through ...
