The man who trained Trump to be a SUPERVILLAIN: BRIAN VINER reviews The Apprentice
17/10/24 11:50Five months have passed since I first saw the Donald Trump biopic The Apprentice at the Cannes Film Festival. It has taken until now to get a distribution deal, not because it isn't any good.

10/10/24 09:30BRIAN VINER: October is upon us and with it the inevitable bloody drip-drip-drip of scary films, serving the ravenous monster that the Halloween industry has become.Blitz review: Perilous trip into wartime underworld for the Blitz's Oliver Twist, writes BRIAN VINER
09/10/24 09:32It felt downright eerie to leave the cinema on London's Southbank and see, across the Thames, the dome of St Paul's Cathedral - once the city's structural symbol of resistance against Hitler.

His Three Daughters review: Savour this exquisite elegy to death and sisterhood, writes BRIAN VINER

19/09/24 03:49A film released last week, The Critic, explores the topic of film and theatre critics and their power - set in 1930s London with Sir Ian McKellen as a flamboyant elderly critic called Jimmy Erskine,
The Critic review: It's Agatha Christie on steroids (and McKellen's magnificent), writes BRIAN VINER
13/09/24 06:46McKellen plays Jimmy Erskine, formidably influential drama critic for The Daily Chronicle - a promiscuous gay man not averse to fleeting sexual encounters in the park with 'rough trade'.
Speak No Evil review: Strap in for an exhilarating ride with mad McAvoy, writes BRIAN VINER
12/09/24 11:26The film, by writer-director James Watkins, is a slick remake of the 2022 Danish film of the same title.There's some comedy throughout plus lines about differences between Americans and Brits.
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice review: These ghouls just want to have fun - shame the film is a mess! writes BRIAN VINER
05/09/24 11:38BRIAN VINER: Tim Burton's 1988 Beetlejuice was horror classic, which, to paraphrase the title of one of that decade's best-known songs, showed some ghouls just want to have fun.
Audacious, different, bold and brilliant! Joker: Folie a Deux is a punchline five years in the making, and boy is it worth the wait, writes BRIAN VINER
04/09/24 05:22The film is audaciously different in style from the original, not quite as electrifying, but bold and brilliant all the same.

04/09/24 09:56The 56-year-old star could hardly be trying harder, after those five James Bond films in 15 years, to shrug off the image of Ian Fleming's ultra-heterosexual alpha-male super-spy.
Babygirl review: Nicole Kidman sizzles in this tale of passion and power across the age divide, writes BRIAN VINER
30/08/24 09:05Here at the Venice Film Festival, air-conditioned cinemas offer a blessed relief from hotter-than-usual weather. But last night's world premiere of Babygirl brought a different kind of sizzle.
Was Maria Callas really a whining, self-pitying, endlessly needy victim? Angelina Jolie stars as revered opera singer in a new biopic that projects little of her cultural stature, writes BRIAN VINER
29/08/24 08:33The late shipping tycoon Aristotle Onassis would have approved of director Pablo Larrain's trilogy of films about three of the most iconic women of the 21st century: he slept with two of them.
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice review: Tim Burton's sequel is unable to pull off the same camp, vampy spirit as its predecessor, writes BRIAN VINER
28/08/24 08:13The 81st Venice Film Festival opened with an impressive cluster of stars on the red carpet, but the movie they were here to celebrate - Beetlejuice Beetlejuice - is not quite worthy of the honour.
An irresistible mix of art and genitals! Featuring real sex (thanks to a porn baron), it was one of the most notorious films ever. Now Caligula's been re-cut using unseen footage

Didi review: Teenage angst is tenderly observed in this brilliant drama, writes BRIAN VINER
02/08/24 12:37The pick of this week's releases is Didi, a funny, poignant, piercingly well-observed coming-of-age drama which will appeal not just to older teenagers but to many grown-ups
Deadpool & Wolverine review: Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman have the biggest laugh in this multiverse caper, writes BRIAN VINER
26/07/24 12:43While there's nobody better than Reynolds at wooing the audience, he works so hard at dismantling the so-called fourth wall that by the end there's hardly any of it left
Twisters review: It may all be gale-force nonsense, but it's very watchable, writes BRIAN VINER
18/07/24 09:12BRIAN VINER: I did some more laughing out loud during Twisters, so strenuously blow-hard are the efforts to turn the weather into what amounts to a monster movie.

18/07/24 09:05BRIAN VINER: June Squibb finally has her first starring role, as the title character in the cheeringly funny, gently poignant, wholly satisfying Thelma.
Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F review: A pleasing nostalgia trip, writes BRIAN VINER
05/07/24 12:39None of the Beverly Hills Cop sequels have matched the original, and the same is true of this latest Netflix effort, the first for 30 years. And yet it's genuine fun, all the same.
A Quiet Place: Day one review: Whisper it, but this is fantastic, writes BRIAN VINER
27/06/24 09:11The need to keep quiet, the notion that silence is golden, resonates with us all. That's partly why the 2018 apocalyptic thriller A Quiet Place was such a triumph.
The Bikeriders review: Jodie Comer's motorbike epic is The Godfather on wheels, writes BRIAN VINER
21/06/24 12:05As hard as it might be, try to picture The Godfather as the story of a motorbike gang: a fraternity of tough guys more than willing to break society's codes of behaviour, yet hidebound by their own.
BRIAN VINER: Mad Max is a 1,000-watt jolt to the spirits... I loved it!
23/05/24 10:50BRIAN VINER: The only letdown in the fifth film in George Miller's Mad Max series, which began in 1979 and made a star of the little-known Mel Gibson, is that it won't propel anyone to stardom.
Megalopolis review: Sadly, this may be the great Francis Ford Coppola's Mega-flopolis, writes BRIAN VINER
16/05/24 11:49Megalopolis is a passion project decades in the planning, which Francis Ford Coppola financed himself partly by auctioning off a chunk of his wine-making business.
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga - FIRST REVIEW: It's utterly stunning on the eye, decidedly loud on the ear, and a thousand-watt jolt to the spirits, says BRIAN VINER in Cannes

Why the only naked bodies you see on screen these days are men's, not women's: 'No nudity' contracts, intimacy co-ordinators and the feminist MeToo backlash against predator producers like Harvey Weinstein
11/05/24 09:00A recent survey commissioned by The Economist shows that, in mainstream cinema, scenes of sex (and female nudity) are in significant decline.
The Fall Guy review: Stuntman Ryan Gosling steals the show... and his screen chemistry with Emily Blunt is the real deal, writes BRIAN VINER
02/05/24 09:21As a celebration of stunts and those who fearlessly perform them, The Fall Guy can't be faulted though it's never quite up there with the Mission: Impossible movies.
Challengers review: Zendaya's bright, sexy and witty tennis love triangle is a smash, writes BRIAN VINER
25/04/24 09:09BRIAN VINER: The Italian director Luca Guadagnino certainly can't be accused of making boring films. His last, 2022's Bones And All, was about cannibalistic serial killers.

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire review - What a monster mess! This blockbuster battle is disappointingly devoid of thrills.. I give it ONE STAR, writes BRIAN VINER
28/03/24 10:05At the end of a week of football internationals, the nation's multiplexes welcome Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. This seems fitting, somehow.
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire review - The original was a classic, but this reboot is as shapeless as a ghost... at least Bill Murray's still a hoot, writes BRIAN VINER
21/03/24 10:31Almost 40 years have passed since the original Ghostbusters arrived in the UK, which for those of us who vividly remember seeing it back in December 1984 is slightly disconcerting.
Pundits ridicule Jordan Pickford as abrasive and mouthy. But he's an England great who must be cherished, writes BRIAN VINER
19/03/24 10:39BRIAN VINER: But does the Everton No 1 get even half the respect Clemence received for his sterling international service, let alone Banks? Far from it.
Copa 71 review: An enlightening documentary about REAL girl power, writes BRIAN VINER
14/03/24 10:09Even in my many years as a sports writer, I never knew there was a women's football World Cup in 1971 against Mexico and Denmark.
