Two 'fixers' show up to the same job, circumstances forcing them to work together. Over the course of the night these two lone wolves will bicker and one-up each other as they attempt to deal with the problem with which they have been tasked. Unfortunately for them, what initially appears to be a fairly standard job, quickly proves to be anything but. On paper Wolfs  looks to be a fairly standard fixer/crime drama. Two professionals, each with their own way of doing things, forced to work together. But writer/director Jon Watts manages to put an amusing spin on this convoluted affair. The man behind the MCU 's Spider-Man  movies takes what is likely to be a mundane, difficult, and - let's face it - rather grim profession and makes it look exciting. At least to us mere mortals, anyway. Although it is rather funny watching two supposed professionals chase the nearly naked body (Austin Abrams) they're supposed to be disposing of, through the city streets on a freezing

Extraction, USA is a town experiencing an energy boom. Good news for some, but not for most. So when a drifter named Steph (Marlee Carpenter) wanders into the bar where pool hustling single mum, Marni (Leanne Johnson) works, and they hit it off, the idea of escaping this grimy town starts to look possible. The only question is; how far are they willing to go in order to actually do it? If Mike Yonts and Peter Matsoukas were looking to create an authentic depiction of amateur criminals, they have succeeded, more or less.  In fact, the movie has something to say about the general state of the human race, and it's hardly complimentary. Anyone who has ever had a boss or worked a shitty job will likely be able to relate. Something Derek McMahan certainly helps with, playing the slimy owner of the bar where Marni works.  And yet, rather than having that misery and hardship be the focus of the movie, they simply serve as the driving force behind Marni and Steph's criminal awakening. A

In this 19th century, supernatural winter epic, a drunken applejack salesman must go from zero to hero and become North America's greatest fur trapper by defeating hundreds of beavers. I'm not sure I've ever seen anything quite as random as this, which is probably why I couldn't stop laughing. A throwback to the slapstick movies of the 1920's and 30's, with some Monty Python  style animation and a few classic video game sound effects thrown into the mix, Hundreds of Beavers  is a zany adventure in which our hero, Jean Kayak (Ryland Brickson Cole Tews) is forced to take on the bitter North American winter after losing everything, thanks to some pesky beavers. Imagine a feature length live action Looney Tunes  episode and you're probably halfway there. Tews fully commits to this whole crazy idea of a movie, delivering a performance that's just the right kind of whacky. Jean Kayak's antics are hilarious, but watching him struggle on despite failure afte

When he and his girlfriend Shelly (FKA Twigs) are murdered, Eric Draven (Bill Skarsgård)'s soul is unable to rest. So he is given the chance to return to the land of the living in order to seek revenge on those that murdered them, in the hope that the couple's souls might one day be reunited. As remakes go, there are some that are less controversial. Making the decision to remake The Crow  seem strange, at best. Why would you mess with such a movie? Not only has the 1994 original achieved 'cult classic' status, it is also well known for being the final film of star Brandon Lee, and serves as a tribute to his memory. You might even call it ‘legendary’. So a remake of such a film will always inspire some strong opinions. Opinions that, very likely, won't work in your favour. That said, director Rupert Sanders has at least done a few things right. For one thing Bill Skarsgård is great as the tortured soul at the heart of this story. Far from an undead warrior, he bring

A young group of workers trapped on a Weyland-Yutani mining colony, locked into almost inescapable work contracts, look to escape their torment by salvaging the necessary equipment from a derelict ship caught in their planet's orbit. They just need Rain (Cailee Spaeny) and her brother, Andy (David Jonsson) to gain access. Unfortunately, what looks to be a quick and easy job proves to be anything but when the ship's true purpose is revealed, and the scavengers discover they are not alone. There is something odd about Fede Alvarez's entry into the Alien  franchise, and that is how beautiful he and his team have been able to make this miserable looking future. If nothing else does - and that is entirely possible - the visuals will blow your mind. This of course extends to the Xenomorphs and their Facehugger friends. The latter of which get to be even more terrifying this time around. Even the sunless 'Jackson's Star' mining colony is a sight to behold in its grimy,

Sony ’s attempts to create a live action Spider-Verse without Spider-Man continue with  Madame Web . This latest endeavour follows Cassie Web (Dakota Johnson), a paramedic in New York who is about to discover she has some incredible psychic abilities that allow her to see many things, including the future. But without a wall-crawler for her to help, Cassie is faced with the unenviable task of protecting three teenage girls (Sydney Sweeney, Celeste O'Connor, Isabela Merced) from a not Spider-Man  spider/man villain. Ezekiel Sims (Tahar Rahim) wants to kill these girls before they get a chance to kill him at some point in the future, just like his vision said they would. But unknown to everybody, Ezekiel also has a connection to Cassie. Wow! At this point, is anybody not surprised that Sony is still churning out these movies? Seriously, with the exception of Venom  - and I know I'm on an island here - does anyone actually enjoy this  live action Web-Head-light  Spider-Verse ? An

Facing financial ruin courtesy of an impending welfare reform, full-time carer Sadie (Shian Denovan) comes up with an audacious scheme to sabotage the new 'Independence Credit' before it can be voted in. She plans to send the government spiralling into chaos by stealing their leverage and crippling their chief whip. In order to do it Sadie will have to sneak into one of the UK's most secure buildings, so she's going to need some help. Let's face it, any opportunity to see a bunch of snivelling politicians - represented here by Ray Bullock Jnr's deliciously evil Chief Whip - get their comeuppance is going to be welcome with pretty much anyone. Even more so when it comes as the result of an Ocean's Eleven  style heist.  Somehow, through this cheesy heist movie that very closely reflects the world we live in - certainly here in the UK - writer/director/producer Christopher Presswell and writer Forgács W. András have actually managed to make treason look fun.  N
