Remember the days of the epic film? When they were so long they needed an intermission half way through? If you do – and even if you don’t – this week gives you an all-too-rare opportunity to experience it all over again or for the first time. One of the most romantic of large scale films celebrates its half century by returning to the big screen in a newly re-mastered print. David…
The awards season doesn’t fully get under way for another couple of months, but the buzz has already started. One of the films attracting a lot of attention is Todd Haynes’ Carol, released on Friday, certificate 15. A romance between two women set in 1950s America, it’s already scooped a couple of awards at Cannes and looks destined to add to its collection.

When The Hunger Games first appeared on screens in 2012, it set the bar and it set it high. There’s been other post-dystopian young adult adventure stories, but none of them have quite measured up to the series, with its strong but vulnerable heroine, Katniss Everdeen.

It’s thrilling and…
Another week, another Kate Winslet film. On top of starring alongside Michael Fassbender in Steve Jobs, she’s now about to have a second film in cinemas. 1950s comedy The Dressmaker is released this Friday, 20 November and, not surprisingly, Winslet is modelling some fabulous frocks.
