Next Film - Friday 14th August 2026
Fuze
Aaron Taylor-Johnson plays Major Will Tranter, a bomb disposal officer
called in when what looks like a gigantic unexploded second world war
device is discovered in a London building site, making a worrying ticking
noise. The police are under the direction of the Met’s chief
superintendent played deadpan by Gugu Mbatha-Raw. She shuts off the
electricity in the whole area for fear of the bomb igniting power cables,
then evacuates and cordons off the entire zone – not realising a crew of
bank robbers is in there, led by Theo James and Sam Worthington, who
are now able to work without fear of being discovered by some pesky
member of the public as they tunnel through a wall into a safe-deposit
vault from a neighbouring basement.
The movie’s fun derives from how continually it zigs and zags. Fresh
elements are repeatedly tossed in to surprise you. Every time you think
you have the whole thing sorted out, another complication arises.
The director keeps the pace taut from start to finish, never taking his foot
off the proverbial gas pedal. He orchestrates a terrific cast, too. Because
it takes place over a relatively short period of time, character
development isn’t particularly a high priority, yet the director ensures
each actor has room to make an impression.
Fuze is relentlessly entertaining, and the glib “Where are they now?” end
titles provide a perfect capper to the movie’s skewed worldview. Thanks
to a strong ensemble and an ever-evolving plot, ninety-eight minutes go
ripping by in a flash.

September's Film 11th Sept 2026:
The Christophers
At the film’s centre is a blistering, brutal performance from Ian McKellen as Julian Sklar, a once-brilliant painter who sullied his name over time with awful behaviour, both off and on TV. Now, separated from the world he looks down on in his crumbling, yet expansive, London townhouse, he makes money through embarrassing Cameo videos. He’s cursed with two vile, talentless children (Baby Reindeer’s Jessica Gunning and James Corden) who have little to no real relationship with him (he blames their mothers as they raised them), but they’re obsessed with the money they might still be able to squeeze from him.There’s an ongoing set of portraits – The Christophers – that have gained a mythical reputation and while no one on the outside knows they’re unfinished (the previous Christophers were worth millions) the siblings intend to hire an expert to finish them so that when their father dies, they can con their way into a fortune. They pick Lori (Michaela Coel), an art restorer who doubles as a food truck server, living a quietly unfulfilled life that now has the potential to mean something. She has to pretend to be Julian’s new assistant and the pair begin an unusual
relationship, filled with mistrust, anger and revenge. The Christophers is a talky, at times incredibly funny, comedy drama with plot reversals that make it feel like it’s on the verge of a thriller. It doesn’t end up there, at least not strictly, but it’s unpredictable enough to never make us entirely sure just where it’s heading.
