THE FILM:

Disney’s back catalogue is undoubtedly one of the most continually celebrated, fondly remembered and generally timeless collection of releases that very few studios can compare with - though this is mostly thanks to its stable of animated classics. Far fewer of its live action features of yesteryear continue to be held in the same regard as its swathe of hand-drawn staples such as Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, The Jungle Book and of course, the one that started it all, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. However, one of the most cherished and enduring exceptions is undoubtedly 1964‘s Mary Poppins, proudly arriving in this 50th anniversary celebration which serves as a delightful reminder of a movie that has lost none of its innate charm and remains as surprisingly relevant as ever with its universal themes of parenting, responsibility and imagination.

THE FILM:

It’s somewhat difficult to believe it has been almost a decade since we last saw a new Chucky instalment, so eponymous and iconic a horror icon has the diminutive terror become. However, on the grounds of the abysmal and woefully misjudged Seed of Chucky, it’s general box office underperformance, not to mention the severe backlash it received from fans of the franchise, it seems the time off has done the murderous good guy some good.
