The Primetime Emmy Awards, that's TV's Oscars basically, will be taking place on the 18th of September 2016 and the nominations have just been announced.

A gripping, gritty family drama from Australia to underline, once again, just how good that country’s film can be, even without the ‘advantage’ of big-name stars.

REFERENCING ‘spinning heads and pea soup’ is as good a way as any to get your exorcism movie compared with The Exorcist (1973), and while The Rite (US/16/113 mins) is no horror classic, it’s a solid retread of its more illustrious predecessor.

Robert De Niro has signed up to ‘The Killer Elite’.
