5 stars for this thoroughly charming family film.
Paddington is written by Hamish McColl (Mr. Bean’s Holiday, Johnny English Reborn) and Paul King (The Mighty Boosh, Bunny and the Bull), who also directs the film.
It is based on the much loved character, Paddington Bear, from the best-selling children’s books by Michael Bond (Parsley the Lion and the Herbs).

1 star of slightly yawn-worthy and unsatisfying sci-fi film.
The Device is written and directed by Jeremy Berg (The Invoking, Trauma) and essentially wants to be a tale of alien abduction, which is a bit difficult without any of the interesting stuff. To say it was inspired by alien abduction cases may be giving it too much credit, I’m not sure…more

3 stars for this decent sci-fi game crossover.
With a couple of sci-fi heavyweights at the helm in the form of director Sergio Mimica-Gezzan (Battlestar Galactica) and executive producer Ridley Scott (Alien, Blade Runner), Halo: Nightfall always had a good chance of being a half decent film.
It is written by Paul Scheuring (Klondike, Zero Hour) and is the latest offering from…more

4 stars for this stylish and clever psychological horror.
On June 4th, 1960, four teenagers went camping to Lake Bodom in Finland. All but one were killed by dawn.
Winter 2009, Anniki Jokinen and Pietari Niskala, media students of the University of Rovaniemi, chose the 1960 tragedy for their thesis.
Bodom is written and directed by József Gallai and Gergö Elekes and is Hungary’s first found…more

1 star for this ridiculous and misleadingly described “sci-fi” film.
Originally titled “I’ll Follow You Down” (which is equally as irrelevant to the film as the current title), Continuum is written and directed by Richie Mehta (Siddharth, Amal) and to look at the cover, which is by the way nothing whatsoever to do with the film, it looks like quite a…more
MERCS is written and directed by Mike Morris, who also acted in the award winning short Coeur De Pierre. He has now taken the huge step of taking on feature films and MERCS is his first foray into his dream job, which he has known since he started in the “Business” at the bottom as a Runner, Sound Man, Actor,…more
