    Box office icon stretches acting muscles in mission he’s chosen to accept (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Alejandro González Iñárritu, the five-time Oscar-winning director of Birdman and The Revenant, returns this week with his first English language feature in more than a decade. The film’s star is a box office icon who would very much like an Oscar of his own before he (eventually) retires. This is Digger. A Tom Cruise fronted black comedy about a wealthy oil tycoon determined to prove himself the saviour of humanity. Quite close to home, then, for everyone’s favourite scientologist. Digger

    Daisy Edgar-Jones leads Sense and Sensibility as Brad Pitt stars alongside a dog (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    JANE Austen only wrote six novels in her lifetime. You’d not think it from the extraordinary cottage industry of adaptations – loose and faithful alike – they’ve fuelled in the two centuries since. Pride and Prejudice alone has spawned at least 15, with another on the way from Netflix later this year. First, though, comes one more iteration of the novelist’s 1811 debut, Sense and Sensibility. Cast aside all memories of Emma Thompson screaming in the face of Hugh Grant, a new Elinor and Edward de

    Shaun the Sheep returns after seven years in new Halloween special (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    THERE’S good reason to flock to cinemas this week, as the world’s most popular ram makes his return. That’s right, seven years on from Farmageddon, Shaun the Sheep is baaaa-ck. Little more than a play on words in his first appearance - 1995’s Wallace and Gromit classic A Close Shave - Shaun’s march on megastardom has been slow but sure. A 2007 TV debut spawned 190, globally successful episodes, three specials and two smash hit films. There have been Shawn-themed sculpture trails, a stage show, v

    Practical Magic sequel reunites Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman 25 years on (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    BACK in 1998, two burgeoning A-listers headed up an adaptation of Alice Hoffman's Practical Magic, a kind of left-field romance with magical realist leanings. The film, as directed by Griffin Dunne, set neither the box office nor column inches alight, failing both to break even and impress the critics. I'll confess myself to only recently having caught the film, in anticipation of this week's sequel, and finding a pretty drab effort. Why, then, return to the story, almost thirty years on? Practi

    Films to see this weekend from nostalgic screenings to new release (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Feeling nostalgic? You're in for a treat this week. While new releases can yet be found - more on these in a moment - the bulk of this last weekend of the Summer holidays is devoted to anniversary re-releases. It's a bit of a stretch but there's just about something for everyone. Younger audiences will be pleased to find Pixar's cars revving back to cinemas, an impressive 20 years on from its debut. Some may recall Cars as the moment the previously infallible animation studio finally stumbled, f
