In a year that saw Eurovision cancelled due to Covid, Netflix has swooped in with an imperfect yet heartfelt tribute to the iconic song contest. Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga (retitled so as...

Whether Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again reads like a cheer or a threat depends entirely on how much you enjoyed the first film. Let’s be honest, you know exactly what you’re getting here. Nominally a Mamma...

The faults of Mamma Mia! are well known; the singing is bad, the choreography is simple, and the plot is weak. Its strengths, on the other hand, are barely mentioned – strange for a film that made...

Preposterous surfing in the hostile waters off North Korea. Perhaps the least realistic torture scene in cinematic history. An improbably gorgeous spy arising from the Caribbean Sea. Another round of...

There's a new James Bond film out! Not sure if you're aware of it, there hasn't been much written about it. It’s meant to be very good indeed and, it turns out, it’s actually the 24th in a series of films...

Right. Let’s get this done quickly and not waste any time or, heaven forfend, an entire feature on this “debate”: Sean Connery is the best Bond. No ifs, no buts, no “Timothy Dalton brought a much...

Lessons in Love is not just boring, it's not just crude, it's hopelessly pointless. The film is horribly alienating – equating Lord Byron's romantic rule breaking with a privileged professor who sleeps...

No Escape takes two people out of their comfort zone and waits to see if they survive. Bell and Wilson, known almost exclusively for comedies, face a distinctly unfunny situation in Southeast Asia and, perhaps...

Survivor is nonsense. The manner in which you accept that affects your opinion of James McTeigue's latest number. Yet even when straining for the positives, there are a lot of flaws here. The 9/11 themed...

Pesky Russians, sneaky intelligence agencies, whizzingly distant locales, exotic women with intriguing accents... Pierce isn’t the only one who’s been here before. Though Brosnan sells hard-bitten like...
