The white-hot intensity of adolescent feeling, that deeply felt churn of emotion, was of course the narrative fuel which powered 2015’s Inside Out, an imaginative animated coming-of-age film that presented five dominant personified emotions — Joy, Anger, Sadness, Fear and Disgust — alternately competing and collaborating as they contributed to the moods, thoughts and actions…
After a very questionable third instalment, Bad Boys Ride or Die 4DX redeems itself from its predecessor but still remains a little non-sensicle in a variety of places despite remaining funny, relevant and as high-octane as ever. Bad Boys really hasn’t been the same since Michael Bay departed from making these movies and not even…
Richard Linklater is, of course, a respected filmmaker, with his uniquely framed coming-of-age tale Boyhood and his lauded “Before trilogy,” starring Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy as somewhat star-crossed lovers, each ranking high on the list of the most critically praised films of the last 30 years. Both of those projects showcase Linklater’s passion for…

Here’s our Marlon Wayans Good Grief review. I’ll always have a soft spot for Marlon Wayans for reasons I’ve said many a time on…
We were invited down this week to visit the brand new mini-golf attraction The Hole in Wand which has recently opened in Chester City Centre but how would it fare against its York and Blackpool sister attractions? Inspired by the Harry Potter franchise this wizarding world mini-golf has stormed the UK with various branches popping…

Discovery Global Consumer Product the LEGO Group has revealed this Lord of the Rings set which takes a much darker form than its previous Rivendell release….
Playing every Friday on RTE One at 8:30pm is this four-part series about the creation of a new area at Emerald Park theme park in Ireland. Here’s our Nerves of Steel review. Featuring documentary-style interviews with late founder Raymond Coyle this documentary has real sentimental value as though Raymond is speaking from beyond about the…
I feel as though more horror movies are being churned out in the cinema lately than any other genre and after the highs of Abigail gave me hope for this year’s slate it’s sadly films like Tarot that bring me very quickly crashing back down to the earth with a thud. Friends unwittingly unleash an…
Abigal takes a copy-and-paste story that we’ve seen before but injects humour, gore and a solid cast line-up for what ends up becoming a bloody good time! A group of would-be criminals kidnaps the 12-year-old daughter of a powerful underworld figure. Holding her for ransom in an isolated mansion, their plan starts to unravel when…
The Fall Guy is a film that needs to be seen on the big screen and with IMAX on top the stunts come alive! IMAX perfectly captures every car chase, explosion and stunt in beautifully immersive detail, coupled with an incredible soundtrack that features bands such as Kiss and The Darkness they’re onto a winner…
Now you may be thinking what on earth is a food review doing on a movie website? I’m also asking myself that same question but after a recent helpful content update destroyed the world of blogging as we know it I’m throwing caution to the wind and writing about just about anything I see fit….
Along with the Central Legion scare team the Museum of Horrors had a stall at Horrorwood, Heywood’s debut horror convention and they smashed it!

Godzilla and the almighty Kong face a colossal threat hidden deep within the planet, challenging their very existence and the survival of the human…
The Backlot Cinema in Blackpool kindly invited us down to take a look around their brand-new IMAX cinema which is the first IMAX cinema built in Lancashire! Seeing the rather distressed streets of Blackpool suddenly starting to receive investment and being spruced up is such an encouraging sign. The Central Development project is fully underway…
Brightwood is a film that achieves the impossible on a tiny budget. Gripping, enthralling and expertly executed giving filmmakers who count every penny of a multi-million-pound budget some food for thought. I’ve seen films with 8 figure budgets that don’t have the same execution as Brightwood as a simple yet intriguing premise combined with a…
