Cinema Review: Rough Night
There’s a lot of squealing in this, and almost as much alcohol consumption and cocaine snorting… but with none of the women involved showing any sign of being affected by the substances. Basically, the movie is a copy of The Hangover, only with girls acting the goat – meaning that it is rude and crude and sometimes funny, if in a try-hard way.

Cinema Review: The Promise
When was it exactly that ‘old school’ usurped ‘old fashioned’? The latter is far more applicable to this sumptuous period piece than the lightweight former, as Terry George’s eye-opening historical drama evades potboiler status but plunges unashamedly into diatribe.

Cinema Review: The Mummy
Ancient Egypt should be a treasure trove of material for filmmakers. It was a brilliant culture with a long, recorded history – the hermaphrodite pharaoh Akhenaten (truth is stranger than fiction) and the boy king Tutankhamen, Hatshepsut the queen and the mighty Rameses II are just a handful of characters that any scriptwriter would love to work with.

Cinema Review: Wonder Woman
There is a lot more to like about this blockbuster than you might initially think. In fact, if you disregard the first and last fifteen minutes, you could even say that it is pretty good – or at least a cut above the usual superhero drivel.

Cinema Review : Baywatch
Lowbrow does not necessarily equate with bad. Which in this case is just as well, for the adaptation to the big screen of David Hasselhoff’s unfathomably successful TV series is about as lowbrow as it gets.
