Taking age-old expectations of how a fairytale is supposed to play out and giving them a brisk shuffle is by no means as fresh as some film-makers often like to think, upending cliches with a tired wink and a smug smirk. But Netflix’s Damsel, itself loosely similar to Hulu’s 2022 offering The Princess, doesn’t require our astonishment at its wheel reinvention to pass the bar and is far too sprightly to get overly bogged down in the self-satisfaction of such an endeavour.There are, in fact, very few surprises in store here…

Proving herself to be a Tom Cruise or Chris Hemsworth in the making, Brown is taking on more action-packed roles. Damsel, a film starring Brown as a princess trapped in a cave with a fire-breathing dragon, might be her most…

This past weekend, audiences everywhere got to see Dave Bautista back on the big screen raging it up as Glossu "Beast" Rabban in Denis Villeneuve's Dune: Part Two, but all of the anger and violence we see from the character doesn't seem to represent the actual disposition of the man portraying him. Instead, the personality the wrestler-cum-actor demonstrates in interviews suggests that he is a kind person with a big heart – and that's an image that is very much perpetuated in a story he recently told about his new…

Angela Bassett and Robin Wright also star in Netflix's anti-fairytale Stranger Things‘ Millie Bobby Brown is entering another kind of Upside Down.
