    Digger review: Tom Cruise’s wildest, best performance since last century (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Yes, Tom Cruise is back with a bang in the Oscars ring in his best performance since 1999’s Magnolia (it’s unbelievable to think it was in another millennium when Cruise last earned an acting nod). However, Cruise ain’t gonna win nothing if the Academy voters are repelled by the massive roll of the dice of perception that Mexican director Alejandro González Iñárritu (himself no stranger to Oscars glory, having triumphed with both Birdman and The Revenant) takes here. Straight off we’r

    The Dog Stars review: Ridley Scott’s ramshackle post-apocalypse is almost a return to form - AOL (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    For those who care about the man, the legend that is Ridley Scott (director of two of the greatest films of all time, Blade Runner and Alien, not forgetting the not-half-bad Gladiator), there was an unspoken collective “phewwww…” at last week’s world premiere for The Dog Stars. Because after the woeful (in varying degrees) House of Gucci, Napoleon and Gladiator II, here’s something, well, not half bad. Don’t start salivating like Pavlov’s dogs just yet though, because this ain’t half brilliant e

    The Odyssey review: Christopher Nolan has made an epic worthy of the gods - AOL (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    When the floor of the BFI IMAX quakes and the sound thunders up through the seats and into people’s bodies, it’s no false omen. It’s a pant-shaking signal that for the next three, humdinging hours you’re in for a colossal piece of cinema. Arguments will rage for aeons among Nolanites, but forget Oppenheimer (too biopic-y, not bomb-y enough), Inception or The Dark Knight — this is Christopher Nolan’s most towering achievement yet.
