UK Release Date:  13 September 2013 Certification:  12A Director:  Roland Emmerich Cast:  Jason Clarke, Jamie Foxx, Richard Jenkins, Joey King, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Lance Reddick, Channing Tatum, James Woods Rating:   39 % Review: Channing Tatum became signified attached to the role of Mike Lane in the eyes of the public following the release of Magic Mike in 2012. A role that could have ruined an actor's career - ridiculed for the sheer absurdity of it. However, Channing Tatum is the best aspect of White House Down as John Cale. He displays all the characteristics of a leading action man in Hollywood. The looks, the charisma, the charm, it's all there. The reluctant but skilled hero 'gimmick' is convincing here with Tatum going as far as to do most of his own stunts for the film. Channing Tatum's chemistry with Jamie Foxx is infectious throughout.  On the complete opposite end of the spectrum, Joey King is frighteningly bad. One of the worst child acting pe...

UK Release Date: 28 June 2017 Certification: 15 Director : Edgar Wright Cast: Jon Bernthal, Ansel Elgort, Jamie Foxx, Eiza González, Jon Hamm, Lily James, CJ Jones, Kevin Spacey Rating: 83% They call me Baby Driver Review: The cast assembled for Baby Driver are all terrific. Ansel Elgort is great in the lead as Baby. He’s charming without saying much, trained for weeks to perform the getaway scenes and his choice in music is sublime. C o-star, Lily James has great on screen chemistry with Elgort making their 'teenage romance' totally believable. Despite the controversy surrounding Kevin Spacey he's still an incredibly talented actor. He plays the role of crime boss, Doc, in a deadpan manner that makes him unlikeable, menacing and trusting all at the same time. Jon Bernthal, Eiza González and Jon Hamm all make brilliant and somewhat likeable gangsters. And Jamie Foxx's Bats may well be one of the most punchable characters ever put on the big screen.  Edgar Wright is b...

UK Release Date: 15 December 2021 Certification: 12A Director: Jon Watts Cast: Jacob Batalon, Benedict Cumberbatch, Willem Dafoe, Jon Favreau, Jamie Foxx, Tom Holland, Alfred Molina, Marisa Tomei, Zendaya Rating:   79 % The finale to Spider-Man's first trilogy in the MCU doesn't disappoint.  Review: Similar to Avengers: Endgame , Spider-Man: No Way Home is a cinematic spectacle that is an absolute must watch. I was unfortunately unable to see the movie upon release due to having to isolate but I was lucky enough to avoid the majority of spoilers online. Similarly, there is no way that I'll be able to talk about this movie without revealing spoilers - you have been warned.  I'd always liked Tom Holland as Spider-Man due to his charisma and like-ability but I feel he really steps up in Spider-Man: No Way Home . You can physically see him maturing over the course of the MCU becoming more and more confident. He's also able to show a little more depth and his abi...
