  • Your easy flowchart guide to Westworld plot twists

    TV Feature | Ed Williamson | 3rd December 2016

    Heard tell on social media that there's a huge twist coming in Westworld? Whichever character it involves, allow us to simplify it for you.

  • This is the official Mexican poster for Lee Daniels' The Butler

    Movie News | Ali Gray | 5th October 2013

    Not sure what my favourite bit is: the cluster of presidential force ghosts, the creepy tree/dead spider in the top left or the fact that I can't help reading the title in the voice of Bumblebee Man from The Simpsons. (via IMP)

  • Bachelorette

    Movie Review | Ali | 16th August 2013

  • 27 Dresses

    Movie Review | Ali | 2nd April 2008

    Romantic comedies like 27 Dresses are the filmic equivalents of fashion magazines that devote whole pages to pictures of pretty people wearing expensive outfits - the star and the clothes are the real draw here, the movie itself is almost an afterthought.
