    Tom Cruise piles on prosthetics for Digger. It might be the best movie of the year (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Digger Rockwell (Tom Cruise) is having a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. His beloved cat Maggie is sick with one or two paws already over death's threshold. Calls for meetings are coming in thick and fast — and just seconds after the Southern US oil magnate manages to change out of his cat-pee-soaked silk pyjamas, a representative from his oil rig in Greenland breathlessly informs him that what was a tiny crack in the ice shelf they're drilling is now a gigantic split. Minutes later t

    Practical Magic 2 is practically magic, with a few missing ingredients (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    As a 30-something millennial with not-so distant memories of backyard potion brews, whimsigoth magazine spreads, and (unsuccessful) sleepover seances with my little sister, 1998's Practical Magic holds a special place in my heart.

    The Odyssey may be the epic we deserve, but not the one we need (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey is a Trojan Horse of a film. No, I don't mean that it's about to give your computer a virus (though if you downloaded an illegal version this week instead of going to the cinema, that's on you). I mean that, on the outside, it promises an epic gift of filmmaking, an adaptation of an ancient tale that is as timeless as it is timely, but on the inside, it harbours a far-too-ambitious number of ideas and plot beats, suffocating under the weight of Nolan's hubris.
