Alex Cann Film Column - 18-06-26 - Tuner - An Underrated Crime Caper
Taking a look at the box office top ten, Scary Movie is shredding the competition ahead of this weekend's release of Toy Story 5. Whilst critics have given it something of a savaging, the franchise's sixth instalment has certainly found its audience, and the Wayans Brothers' formula of mocking recent horror movies continues to rake it in. I was always more of a Scream or Final Destination fan, to be honest, so I think I'll sit this one out and wait for it to appear on one of the streaming services.

Alex Cann Column - 18-06-26 - Mutton Dressed As Language Police
Age campaigners are urging people to stop using phrases like "over the hill" and "stuck in their ways", claiming that their use helps to "entrench ageism" in society. Boffins from the Centre for Ageing Better have quizzed 4,000 people and found that even folk in their 40s and 50s have experienced this type of language. This has taken me down a peg or two after I enjoyed an Elemis facial on my recent break in the Lake District and was told I have the skin of a 41-year-old. Weirdly specific, but I'll take the compliment.
