Destiny review (played on Xbox One) Rarely in gaming history has a new franchise been as hotly-anticipated as Destiny. The new shooter from Halo creators Bungie has been the talk of the industry for much of the last year. Has it delivered on the promise? Well, yes and no. I’ve enjoyed the time I’ve spent with Destiny so far. Let’s ...

Sex Tape (15) review It had to happen sooner or later. Having enjoyed a year that has seemingly delivered blockbuster after blockbuster, I’ve finally stumbled across a bit of a stinker. It’s no great surprise, given the slightly smutty nature of the title, but Sex Tape is one of the more tacky films that I’ve seen in a while. That’s ...

After a sell-out show in February, the larger than life grapplers of Falling Starr Wrestling return to St Nicolas Hall in the Spalding Vista on Saturday for another action-packed evening of bone-crunching mayhem. Falling Starr Wrestling (FSW) is one of Britain’s premier professional wrestling companies and you can expect big moves, colourful characters and high-flying action on an evening of ...

As Above So Below review (15) Over the past few years the horror genre seems to have veered towards blood, guts and unbelievable gore. As Above So Below doesn’t really conform to that Saw-like norm, deciding instead to do more psychological damage using more conventional fears such as claustrophobia and darkness, while also digging up any past indiscretions that are ...

Spalding’s South Holland Centre has just launched its autumn programme and there’s something to suit all tastes. On Saturday, the Act II Theatre Company takes to the stage with an amateur production of the Alan Bennett play The History Boys. Voted the nation’s favourite play in a recent poll, Alan Bennett’s The History Boys tells the story of a group ...

Sin City 2: A Dame to Kill For (18) review It seems like an eternity ago, but the original Sin City wowed me at the cinema back in 2005. A lot has changed in nine years though – Sven-Göran Eriksson was England manager back then, for example. But one thing that has stayed true to its roots is Sin City ...

Into The Storm (12A) review Do you remember Twister? It’s one of those films that’s always on ITV2 – and you always end up watching it…without ever really rating it among your favourite films. There’s just something pretty cool about movies that portray mother nature losing her rag (see also The Day After Tomorrow and 2012). With that in mind, ...

Comedian Jimmy Carr brings his latest stand-up show to Peterborough next week. There’s still time to get your hands on a ticket or two but you’ll need to get a move on as they are selling out quickly. The Eight Out of Ten Cats frontman will be entertaining the audience with his Funny Business show at Peterborough’s Cresset theatre on ...

The Expendables 3 (12A) review There’s something amazingly nostalgic about The Expendables films that seems to just work for a lot of people. Maybe it’s me beginning to show my age, but a loaded cast full of action heroes from the 1980s and beyond has always been a formula that appeals to me. Sylvester Stallone? Check. Arnold Schwarzenegger? Check. Jason ...

Back to the 80s Part 2 King’s Lynn Corn Exchange Friday, September 5 Tickets £11 Box office 01553 764864 It’s time to dig out your legwarmers and shoulderpads once more as Back to the 80s Part 2 transports you back to the greatest decade in the history of music.

The Inbetweeners 2 (15) review I’ll fess up and admit that I was pretty sceptical when I heard about this Inbetweeners sequel. The first movie was largely successful, but it kind of felt like the end of the line for Jay, Will, Neil and Simon after their three hit TV series’. There didn’t seem to be much more that could ...

Now’s your chance to book early to avoid disappointment as Spalding’s South Holland Centre lines up a series of special broadcasts of “live” shows.

Guardians Of The Galaxy 3D review These days, I tend to look forward to Marvel films more than any others – and I imagine there are quite a few of you out there that will feel the same. All of the Captain America, Thor and Iron Man movies, along with (of course) The Avengers Assemble, have been enjoyable cinematic experiences ...
