Queen Latifah and Commons chemistry, and the sheer power of the personality of the Queen herself, give this forgettable romantic comedy a little boost.
Movies
Robin Hood
Definitely more stand-alone historical epic than Robin Hood instalment this is original and exciting nonetheless. A success despite Russell Crowe’s Anglo-Irish Robin Hood.
Legion
Legion presents some interesting ideas, and a bunch of movie references, but its definitely got some issues to work through.
Crazy Heart
Jeff Bridges deserves his Best Actor Oscar, but, as a whole, Crazy Heart is just OK, though its elevated because of his performance.
Four Lions
If you only go to see one Jihadist comedy this year, make it this one.
The Disappearance of Alice Creed
A simple yet gripping, stripped back tale of kidnap and multiple betrayal with three fine performances and plenty of tension. At last, a really good British crime thriller not based on Mockney geezers or football hooligans.
