1 week ago The Twits review – Americanised Roald Dahl is gruesome in all the wrong ways

Netflix’s animation mangles and sentimentalises Dahl’s black comedy about a gross and detestable married couple – relocating the action to Texas and introducing a plucky orphan heroineThis animated Netflix adaptation of Roald Dahl’s The Twits is only fractionally less gruelling than eating wormy spaghetti or finding a toad stuffed in the bottom of your bed. Dahl’s story about one of the most dysfunctional marriages in fiction is not exactly burdened with plot: the 95-page original is essentially a series of mean pranks, all monstrously mangled here and tortuously added to.There has been some outrage that Netflix have Americanised the story, but that is the least of this film’s problems. In the fictional city of Triperot, Mrs Twit (voiced by Margo Martindale) is a Texan in blue denim cowboy boots, unhappily married to Mr Twit (Johnny Vegas, keeping his Lancashire accent). The couple have built a rickety amusement park called Twitlandia, with rides made out of toilets and old mattress...

3 w. ago Play Dirty review – Shane Black’s action comedy comeback is a blast

The writer-director returns to the genre he knows best with a breezy winner led by Mark Wahlberg and a standout LaKeith StanfieldRight around the time that Netflix changed the game by creating its own original movies, and then inspired other streamers to do the same, Shane Black released his last great action comedy The Nice Guys on the big screen. It was one of the writer-director’s best, as exciting as it was amusing, but the ecosystem had changed since his 90s heyday, and a wide audience didn’t materialise, the film one of the year’s more frustratingly underseen flops.In the years since, the big, star-led action comedy has become streaming bread and butter, most weeks cursed by another limp, murkily shot attempt to recall the joys of Black’s greatest hits, films such as The Last Boy Scout, Lethal Weapon and The Long Kiss Goodnight. At the same time, as audiences yawned through chemistry-free, shoddily made romps like Ghosted, Back in Action and Role Play, The Nice Guys started to...
