Review of Magic in the Moonlight (2014)

By Andy Lea (545) for Daily Star (403) on 16 Sep 2014

Review of Into the Storm (2014)

By Andy Lea (545) for Daily Star (403) on 17 Aug 2014

The wonder of the special effects and the immersive power of fake amateur footage are a winning combination…

Review of Lucy (2014)

By Andy Lea (545) for Daily Star (403) on 17 Aug 2014

It seems Besson has been saving up all his Frenchness for this - the most pretentious B-movie of all time…

Review of Earth to Echo (2014)

By Andy Lea (545) for Daily Star (403) on 20 Jul 2014
