There’s something fishy going on in the ocean – fish keep going missing!

In Finding Dory the missing element is Dory’s (DeGeneres) past and her parents. Needless to say, Dory was my favourite character from Finding Nemo, the hilarious and loveable blue tang fish with a short-term memory problem and a short-term memory problem. I will say upfront this doesn’t quite hit the heights of its predecessor, but far from floundering it creates its own magic with beautiful scenery and many scene-stealing characters.

When Dory has a flash of a forgotten memory, she sets off on a quest across the ocean to try to find her long-lost parents. Accompanying her are old friends Marlin (Brooks) and his son Nemo (Hayden Rolence) – though you might need to keep ‘Finding Marlin and Nemo’ as they do get a bit left behind this time. Dory’s journey takes her to a marine institute where we meet a hilarious cynical octopus (Ed O’Neill) who makes the most of every scene he’s in. Keep an eye out for a brilliant cameo from Sigourney Weaver too.

One of the things I loved about Nemo was the sheer amount of side characters that were developed and that we adored while helping Marlin reunite with his son. Now the parental reuniting belongs to Dory, but Pixar have again flooded our screens with schools of loveable supporting characters!

Finding Dory has a lot of laughs, action (with a few narrow escapes) plus much of the heart, charm, memorable characters and gorgeous undersea visuals – and a lot of sole – that made the first film such a classic. You’ll have a whale of a time, so dive in and enjoy. Enough fish puns now, I’m going to clam up.

Hello, human bean! Are you ready for a whoopsy-splunkers phizz-whizzing night? I hope I haven’t muggled you with all my gobblefunk… Roald Dahl just immerses me into his magical world – and tonight he will do the same to you through The BFG. If you haven’t already read this classic book, go grab a copy now. Or if the movie’s just about to start, then maybe stay and watch, and grab a copy tomorrow.

Standing over seven metres tall with satellite-sized ears and a keen sense of smell, the titular Big Friendly Giant (BFG) is not like the other giants and keeps to himself for the most part. The other giants – like Bloodbottler and Fleshlumpeater – are twice as big and have been known to eat human beans, while the BFG chooses to be a vegetarian and prefers Snozzcumber and Frobscottle instead.

The film captures the bond between the BFG and Sophie, between their many adventures in Giant Country and the mystique of Dream Country. It also involves Queen Victoria and a hilarious scene where the three royal corgis are whizzpopping in raspy unison after a swig of BFG’s Frobscottle!

Come along and watch The BFG and I promise you a gloriumptious, swashboggling, wondercrump night. I also promise that the movie will end long before the witching hour starts, and you’ll be safe in your beds where the BFG will drop by to bring you some wonderful dreams.
