When it was announced that filmmaker Christopher Nolan’s next project was going to be a World War II epic, it was hard not to respond with some degree of snark that the director had finally gone all in on getting the Academy to notice him. Well, Oscar damn well might come calling this time for Nolan, since I’ve seen this film, and Dunkirk is a monumental work. In many ways it’s Nolan’s finest hour. Harrowing, impeccably made, and a must see in IMAX, it’s the best movie of 2017 so far. Awards will be coming Dunkirk’s way before all is said and done. This one not only lives up to the hype, it exceeds it. Opening Friday, it’s an absolute must see. The film is an historical war drama about the famous evacuation of Dunkirk. Allied soldiers from Belgium, the Britain, and France were...

Rating: 1.5 out of 5 stars
From the esoteric title onwards, almost everything about Francesca Gregorini’s sophomore feature is awash in a desperate degree of self-consciousness, over-eager for viewers to connect with its mannered style of storytelling, which while visually enticing, falls flat in just about every other area.
Emanuel (Kaya Scodelario) is your typical downtrodden, misery-laden teen who can’t find it in herself to get on with her stepmother (Frances O’Connor) and her browbeaten dad (Alfred Molina). Since young, Emanuel has been embittered about the childbirth death of her mother, and is clearly yearning for some sort of maternal figure who she can relate to.
This figure arrives in the way of her new neighbour, Linda (Jessica Biel), who is a single mother with a baby daughter named Chloe. The two become fast friends when Emanuel, entirely out of character, offers to help babysit, and girded by some...

Horses, swords and an imposing performance from James Purefoy. It's Ironclad, and Duncan found much to enjoy in this historical epic...
After an incredibly uneven start to my cinematic review fodder this year, it's safe to say that I had put quite a heavy burden of expectation on the firmly built shoulders of James Purefoy. He was, after all, the man that buoyed up my 2010, when I was asked to review Solomon Kane, a film which I've spent so many words writing about that I'm sure I must hold some kind of record, such was my commitment to championing the work of a fine British cast and director.
Along comes another great British cast, this time with an aptly named Brit director, Jonathan English, and Purefoy again forming the figurehead of the picture, his bloodied sword clutched firmly in his hand, the words ‘Blood. Will. Run.' stamped on the film's' poster,...
