Turning Red review – pandas and pop music collide in solid Pixar caper
29 Uitsigte0 Opmerkings0 Hou van
The release of a new Pixar film, once a major, all-attention-securing event, has received a notable downgrade in recent years, not just because of a considerable dip in quality (arguably just Inside Out and Coco are t...
The Duke review – Jim Broadbent steals show in warm-hearted 60s-set crime caper
12 Uitsigte0 Opmerkings0 Hou van
For what has become his final feature film, director Roger Michell made this sweet-natured and genial comedy in the spirit of Ealing, which bobs up like a ping pong ball on a water-fountain. It is based on the true st...
The Curse review – a sublime crime caper with an unfeasibly brilliant cast
28 Uitsigte0 Opmerkings0 Hou van
It’s worth prioritising The Curse just to hear the voice Tom Davis does in it. He has written himself the part of hulking weirdo Mick, a grimy, pie-stealing cartoon of a man whose tank tops are four inches too short a...
Emergency review – endearing yet stressful contemporary campus caper
24 Uitsigte0 Opmerkings0 Hou van
Emergency, a comedy thriller about three college friends – two Black, one Latino – navigating a downpour of bad optics and decisions, traffics in several established lanes: the raucous one-last-epic-party romp a la Bo...
Rukmini Iyer se veganistiese resep vir blomkool- en amandelsop met brandrissie-olie en kappertjiedraaie
37 Uitsigte0 Opmerkings0 Hou van
Dit is so 'n eenvoudige maar heerlike sop, gebaseer op een wat my vriendin Emily jare terug gemaak het. Die fluweelsagte blomkoolsop is 'n wonderlike kontras met die hitte van die brandrissie-olie en bros amandels, met krakerige kappertjie twis...
The Tourist review – Jamie Dornan is explosive in this Memento-lite caper
56 Uitsigte0 Opmerkings0 Hou van
After an … interesting few years on the big screen, appearing in the Fifty Shades of Grey franchise (as the suavely sadistic protagonist – a performance slightly undermined by the actor’s clear desire to climb out of ...
Sneakers: Robert Redford and River Phoenix nerd out in 1992’s prescient, high-tech caper
50 Uitsigte0 Opmerkings0 Hou van
A charming Robert Redford stars in the 1992 gem Sneakers, a high-tech (for its time) caper made in a post-cold war, pre-internet world when virtual reality was in its infancy and fears surrounding cyberwarfare were mo...
Stealing Chaplin review – charm pays in messy crime caper
58 Uitsigte0 Opmerkings0 Hou van
At one point in Stealing Chaplin, a sozzled huckster tries to pry open a Union Jack-draped coffin as Land of Hope and Glory rings out on the soundtrack. Maybe this somewhat amateurish but spunky low-budget crime film ...
True Story-resensie – Wesley Snipes en Kevin Hart kan nie belaglike misdaadkaperigheid red nie
71 Uitsigte0 Opmerkings0 Hou van
Is ons steeds verbaas dat komediante en komiese akteurs hul hande na drama kan draai? Of is ons gesofistikeerd genoeg om nou te weet dat as jy komedie kan doen, jy kan enigiets doen. Dit probeer om die ander rigting te gaan ...
Night Drive review – LA car-boot caper pulls it out of the bag
69 Uitsigte0 Opmerkings0 Hou van
From Kiss Me Deadly to Repo Man to Pulp Fiction, the suitcase/car boot with mysterious contents has a distinct lineage in Los Angeles-set cinema. Perhaps a cipher for the city’s legendary transience and elusive promis...
TV vanaand: comic catastrophe in a country house caper
105 Uitsigte0 Opmerkings0 Hou van
A welcome return for the heroically overambitious Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society, whose misconceived genre pieces, scenery-chewing performances and internal power struggles create exquisitely calibrated chaos. Ton...
Free Guy review – irresistible gaming caper
75 Uitsigte0 Opmerkings0 Hou van
The Canadian director Shawn Levy takes a particular joy in breathing life into things that should, deur regte, be inanimate. So the jump from the sentient statues and relics of the Night at the Museum franchise to the ...
The Croods: A New Age review – much yabba-dabba ado in caveman caper
65 Uitsigte0 Opmerkings0 Hou van
A new age? Not really, but this sequel does feel like a rung up on the evolutionary ladder from 2013’s The Croods. It delivers more of the same Flintstones-meets-Ice Age family animation, with just as much headachy sl...
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart review – an unbelievably gorgeous sci-fi caper
87 Uitsigte0 Opmerkings0 Hou van
At several points during my time with Ratchet & Clank – after landing on a new planet whose peculiar rocky landscape stretched off far into the distance, byvoorbeeld, or while I was zipping around a collapsing ci...
Homewrecker review - voorstedelike gyselaarkapper is 'n vroliker ellende
71 Uitsigte0 Opmerkings0 Hou van
Dit is jammer dat hierdie Kanadese komedie-gruwel te kru saamgestel is om sy twee genres gemaklik uit te steek, omdat dit 'n paar uitbarstings van uitvindings en helder vertonings van sy hoofstukke bevat. Kosbare Chong, w ...
Nobody review – Bob Odenkirk betters John Wick in fun action caper
110 Uitsigte0 Opmerkings0 Hou van
For any vaguely fit actor over the age of 50, being given your own Taken was briefly seen as an enviable career boost, a chance to relive former glories, a slickly choreographed leap from an early Hollywood grave back...
