The Drop (15) review We’re heading into a pretty exciting time of the year at the cinema – but it’s probably fair to assume that The Drop may not be on your radar just yet. Out a few months ago across the pond in America, it’s not had too much hype over here with the third instalments of the Hunger ...

Interstellar (15) review Cards on the table: I’m a huge fan of Christopher Nolan’s work.

Film review: Ouija (15)

Ouija (15) review If you’ve lost count of the amount of horror movies that star relatively young characters doing incredibly stupid things, it’s because the genre is pretty much flooded with them. In a nutshell, that’s essentially what is wrong with Ouija, which doesn’t really bring anything at all new to the table during its near 1.30hrs run time. That’s ...

Films of this genre may have been done to death over the ...
