The Meg
TBC
Robert McCall returns to
avenge a friend’s murder
DIRECTOR Antoine Fuqua
starring Denzel Washington,
Pedro Pascal, Bill Pullman
Two-time Oscar
winner Denzel
Washington reteams
with director Antoine Fuqua
for this no-holds-barred
sequel. Upping the ante in
every way on the 2014 original,
it sees Washington’s former
CIA assassin Robert McCall
– a man with a troubled past
– delivering his own special
brand of justice once more.
Violent (but stylishly so), with
another barnstorming turn from
Washington, this follow-up
shoots to thrill – and nails it.

Statham going head
to fin with a prehistoric shark
of epic proportions. And when
we say epic we mean epic. ‘Meg’
– short for Megalodon – is a
75ft-long monster! Can The
Stat’s disgraced Naval Captain
Jonas Taylor rescue his ex-wife
from a vessel on the ocean floor
before the beastly behemoth
gets its huge teeth into her?
With the all-star cast on top
form, plus incredible effects
and one-liners galore, this is a
blockbuster with added bite.
Inspired by a
nightmarish internet
meme, this disturbing
horror sees a young girl going
missing in a backwater US
town. The police are baffled,
but her high-school friends
know exactly who is to blame:
an evil being known as the
Slender Man who resides
in the local woods. Impossibly
thin and incredibly tall, he
(it?) is responsible for the
disappearance of countless
youngsters. Have you seen
him? For your sake you’d better
hope not. Those he comes
for are rarely found alive.
