Wicked: Part 1 (PG): You Can Defy Gravity All You Like But They’ll Be No Stopping This Popular Crowdpleaser.
One Mann's Movies Film Review of "Wicked: Part 1". Fun, brash musical that I predict will be a box-office smash. 4/5.
Gladiator II (15): aka Strength And Honour – The Next Generation.
One Mann's Movies Film Review of "Gladiator II". A rip-roaring sequel from Ridley Scott that delivers thanks to a stunning Denzel Washington. 4/5.
King Frankie (15): “Dare Thy Fateful Terror’s Grasp”.
One Mann's Movies Film Review of "King Frankie". A well acted but a tad predictable Irish drama. 3/5.
