London Road (2015): ***



London Road tends to raise some eyebrows when it is described; it’s a musical about the Ipswich murders. However, the focus is squarely on how this event affected the residents on London Road, where serial killer Steve Wright lived briefly whilst he committed his murderous acts. As the police and journalist flurry towards their street, the residents struggle to process what is going on and find themselves trapped on their road. After Wright’s arrest, the residents start to reach out to each other to connect and build a stronger community amongst themselves.

Mad Max: Fury Road (2015): *****



Mad Max: Fury Road blasts straight into fifth gear as Max (Tom Hardy) is captured by the War Boys, the fascist King Immortan Joe’s (Hugh Keays-Byrne) devoted militia, and taken to the Citadel in the apocalyptic desert. When every resource is scare and sacred, Max seems destined to remain trapped underground, his blood forcibly transfused into the sick War Boy Nux (Nicholas Hoult). However, when Imperator Furiosa (Charlize Theron) drives off with a war rig and Joe’s Wives – five women whose sole purpose is to breed – Joe sends out his entire force to bring his chattel back. With only survival in his mind, Max reluctantly teams up with Furiosa and the Five Wives to find a green homeland for them all.
