Film review: San Andreas 3D (12A)

I’ve always been a sucker for a disaster movie – even though most of them tend to follow pretty much the same tried and tested formula. San Andreas (not to be confused with the hit Grand Theft Auto video game) pretty much ticks all of the usual boxes, but that doesn’t stop it being a very impressive spectacle. So, if ...

Film review: Tomorrowland: A World Beyond (12A)

A few exceptions aside, I’m not normally down with Disney films. Granted, I’m pretty pumped for the new Star Wars film this year, but I don’t really class that as quintessential Disney (more a stellar purchase). That’s the view I had of Tomorrowland: A World Beyond too, having been pretty impressed by the trailers and the casting of George Clooney. ...
