The performances are all great, and it’s nice to see both an ensemble cast of biggies and a host of newcomers one the verge of becoming big. Though Harry Styles’ much hyped acting debut feels unnecessary and a better actor could have probably made that character more interesting.

There really is no reason you shouldn’t be seeing this film at the earliest. Oh and stay for the end credits scene – I assure you, it’s going to be worth the wait.

The Big Sick is also a success story for indie cinema and the talent behind it. A non-mainstream, unconventional story that played at Sundance is now in movie theaters and will soon be available to stream worldwide. This is the kind of revolutionary business model the film industry should embrace if it wants to maintain big crowds in the 21st century.

Much like the Ice Age movies, the Despicable Me franchise will last a dozen more sequels, but unlike the case in those films there is some real effort being put into making these films entertaining. It’s been eight long years since the first movie, but Gru and his Minions haven’t aged a bit. On the down side the secondary characters, like Gru’s children don’t have a lot to do in the main story and you wish they grew up over the years. The sub plot with Lucy trying to become the kids’ adopted mother may strike a chord with people in a similar situation, but it’s an unwelcome distraction from the relentless fun between Gru and Dru.

Much like McQueen, we need to accept the reality and look at the brighter side – that Cars 3 is going to be the sequel that will pump in enough money for Pixar to make more original films in the next few years. And with less Mator around, it seems the future is bright.

The best moment in the film is not an action spectacle but one where there is no action – it’s a delicately funny scene on a boat where Wonder Woman and Steve chat awkwardly, the former effortlessly chastising the latter’s human faults. One wishes the studio let director Jenkins delve more into these character driven moments than forcing epic action spectacle as the main selling point.

Funny in bits, visually entertaining on the whole…

Whether or not you’re a fan of the 1991 film, you’ll find Beauty and the Beast to be an enjoyably fun remake and also a visually gorgeous time at the cinema.

Hilariously neither Larson nor Hiddleston have a single scratch at any point in the film, despite constantly running around, being attacked, tumbling about and even crashing from a chopper. It only invokes the hatred of humans found in Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, another film in which the sub humans were the stars. One wishes this movie contained the nuanced dynamics between humans and the ‘monsters’ from that one.

Perfect send-off to Hugh Jackman and a brutal social commentary…
