  • Alex B Cann Film Column - 29th January 2026

    Imagine a world in which AI judges decide your fate. I suppose it would be one way of reducing the huge backlog in the court system, and Mercy sees Chris Pratt playing a detective who ends up being tried by the very system he was instrumental in setting up, following the brutal murder of his wife. He has 90 minutes to prove his innocence, and avoid a death sentence, by way of the AI judge's unlimited access to computer databases, phone records and social media account

  • Alex B Cann column - 29th January 2026 the high cost of hitting snooze

    How did you sleep last night? If your answer is 'not enough', you are certainly not alone!

  • Alex B Cann column 22/01/26 - the rise of the extra long movie

    Having watched 117 films at the cinema last year, and a further 6 so far this year, I was recently asked how many hours of my life that equated to, and the honest answer is...rather a lot! Whilst movie durations fell during the 2000s, they are back on the rise, with the latest Avatar instalment clocking in at 192 minutes. If you think that's a large chunk of time, a local cinema near us is showing The Hobbit Trilogy on Sunday, starting at 10:30AM, and lasting for 572 minutes (so you'll be emerging blearily-eyed after 8PM!).

  • Alex B Cann film column 22/01/26 - buying belonging and chasing greatness

    In the midst of some other big life stuff happening, I've only managed a double feature this week at the cinema, both of which take us to Tokyo. Rental Family (5 stars) is a wholesome, uplifting, poignant look at human connection and loneliness, told through the eyes of an actor (Brendan Fraser) who takes up a role with an agency that provides people to stand in at important occasions.
