Reviews in a nutshell
Like being invited to the most outrageous do for 2016, without tasting a drop of beverage on offer. Every party has its characters, which fuel the memories – as this bunch do. Even though it will all be a haze in a month’s time as to what actually happens here.
Bad Santa 2 is bad, and for all the wrong reasons. It’s definitely the biggest box office turkey this festive season, sadly, a shame as Thornton is very much still Willie in spirit.
Beats with the blackest of hearts, with good and irony born out of evil. The buddy journey with Skarsgård and Peña is an incredibly satisfying one too.
Goes off with a saucy sizzle and an outrageous bang but wilts at times along the way. If it wasn’t for the grand gang-bang finale boost, it would be a meaty disappointment left undercooked in places.
An extraordinary dark comedy for those wanting pitched blackness and heaps of lunacy. Strip away social conditioning and religion, while the insane might run the asylum their actions begin to appear explainable, even normalising, when compared to the outside world’s perspective.
There is a feeling of something new in the air, but with a comforting dosage of nostalgia. Feig appears to have got most elements just right, enough to provide a solid, spooky night out at the cinema.
Central Intelligence? plays by narrative numbers but has loads of Hart and Johnson to make it a bold choice for cinemagoers looking for a fun night out.
For sheer McCarthy value, The Boss is highly entertaining. The ending is uber predictable but necessary. In fact, The Boss never actually builds up to much. It’s like another notch on the couple’s comedy bedpost really – like Tammy.
Does have a natural energy and kinesis to it from the ever present danger of something erupting – good or bad. The subject matter makes for great movie matter anyway. With Fey at the helm, you do feel reassured of the journey you take into foreign territory – from a comfortable distance too.
