Ever wondered how Shakespeare came to be known as the greatest writer the English language has ever known? Bill, the adventure comedy film from the main cast of Horrible Histories, will give you all the answers. Well... Sort of... Not really. But it will give you a good chuckle and the urge to learn more about the bard.

Logan: A Bittersweet Goodbye

5 stars

There is no other way to describe Logan than bittersweet. It's heart-wrenching and brutal, yet still manages to remain funny and have moments of levity. It's the end of an era but it's also the beginning of a new one.

The Amityville Horror (Or, The Amityville Mildly Creepy Film About A House)

4 stars

Nothing that begins with copious use of strobe lighting can be good. If you're starting by blinding the audience and inducing a headache they can't shake for the rest of the film, you're off to a bad start, right?

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them... Except Not Really

3 stars

If you can look past all the issues with the newest addition to the Harry Potter franchise then I'm sure you'll really enjoy it. Whether it's because I'm cynical, or just because I firmly believe that Potter is done with and should be left well enough alone, I didn't find it all that great.

Doctor Strange: Magic, Medicine, and Motion Sickness

3.5 stars

Doctor Strange is not to be feared if – like me – you disagreed with the casting choices, as it’s actually a nicely crafted addition to the Marvel cinematic universe. It has its faults, of course, but what doesn’t? If you’re willing to accept and look past them then I’m sure you’ll enjoy this film. I know I did.
