Madonna doesn't try to steal the show and consequently this turns out to be an excellent film. In 1943, with the males away fighting, The All American Girls' Professional Baseball League was formed to keep the National Baseball League running. Hanks is the real star as the cynical manager/coach who learns to love his team. A comic and touching story highlighting many of the contradictions that working women face. High slush factor. find out more...

A successful actress employs a woman in exchange for her flattery, only to find her employee is scheming her way to the top at her own expense. An intelligent, bitchy script complements the fine acting, making this one of Time Out's top 100 films of all time. Won Best Picture at 1950 Academy Awards.

Wisteria Lane is a pretty, affluent cul-de-sac nestled away in a corner of American suburbia. Quietly innocuous you would think, but behind these closed doors and twitching curtains lies a neighbourhood seething with insecurities, adultery, lust, loathing, bigotry and even murder... welcome to the world of the 'Desperate Housewives'. Sharply scripted, witty, well cast and deliciously implausible this hugely successful series is insidiously addictive... you have been warned. find out more...

Like a self-induced version of ‘Stepford Wives' the series continues its increasingly surreal progress (I mean it's narrated by a dead woman for god's sake!), but the characters are so well drawn and the story lines so darkly witty that to watch it is to become addicted… regardless of your gender. find out more...
EMMA (2020)

CertificationU Our Rating

Anya Taylor-Joy gives a wonderful performance in the title role of this Jane Austen adaptation as a well-meaning but proud young woman who enjoys playing match-maker without proper concern for the feelings of those involved. Bill Nighy plays Emma's father to perfection. Fans of the book will be pleased.

A lovingly created homage to the melodramas of the 1950s sees Frank and Cathy Whitaker's picture perfect marriage masking a relationship based on lies. A blossoming friendship with the black gardener and a husband whose fallen in love with another man leave Cathy shunned by her friends and neighbours, her outwardly idylic world finally revealed for the sham that it is. Far from Heaven looks stunning, the recreation of the period nothing short of immaculate, but I have never been a fan of 1950s m find out more...
