The best sports movies are the ones that aren't really about sports at all. Moneyball wasn't inherently a baseball film, nor was King Richard truly about tennis. Rocky was more than just a boxing flick and Remember the Titans was never just about gridiron. Rather, these films succeeded by finding fascinating character-driven stories that just so happen to take place within the world of sport. Such is the case with the wildly entertaining Air; a film about basketball shoes that isn't really about basketball or shoes. In a roaring return to...

A new film starring the ever-reliable Viola Davis is always cause for celebration (and awards season murmurs). And, as expected, she's delivered the goods yet again with another commanding performance in the rousing crowd-pleaser The Woman King. Get ready to hear Davis' name a lot this season. She's coming for her fifth Oscar nomination. An old-fashioned blockbuster in the same wheelhouse as films like Gladiator, Spartacus, and Braveheart, The Woman King stands taller by virtue of offering a Black female-led narrative we simply haven't seen before. Equally a thrilling historical...

As a cocky, hotshot trumpet player with a heavy chip on his shoulder, Boseman's last performance will indeed stand as his greatest. A dazzling showcase for two powerhouse performances from Boseman and a typically commanding Viola Davis,...

The year in cinema has already yielded one female-led heist film. However, the stylish ladies of Ocean's 8 are about to be blown out of the water by the sensational ensemble cast (headed by three terrific actresses) of Widows. The latest film from Steve McQueen slyly presents itself as your everyday popcorn thriller but ultimately flips the well-worn crime caper genre right on its head. You didn't really think a filmmaker like McQueen would play it safe, did you? The heist is just one element of McQueen's complex narrative, which...

After the swing-and-miss that was Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (or at least the theatrical version), DC takes another shot at stealing Marvel's cinematic superhero crown with their hyper-coloured and hyper-charged extravaganza, Suicide Squad. Thankfully this time, they've managed to strike back with a flawed but entertaining piece of cinema. Much like Marvel's own "bad guys done good", the Guardians of the Galaxy, DC faces the similarly daunting task of introducing a whole host of new characters to a cinema audience unfamiliar with comic-book lore. And not just introducing...
