Idris Elba is positively ubiquitous – at the moment, anyway. The voice of Chief Bogo in Zootropolis, he’s also the menacing Shere Khan in The Jungle Book and he’s been opening up to the press about playing the villain Krall in Star Trek Beyond, due out in July. For now, though, we have to settle for him playing an action role in Bastille Day, released on Friday, 22 April, certificate 15.
London Mums’ film critic, Freda Cooper, finds out whether he has the necessary je ne sais quoi.

For film fans, January and February are the best time of the year. And the worst. The awards season means that there’s a glut of good films released over those two months to make sure they’re in contention. And it also means trying to squeeze in as many cinema visits as possible over just a couple of months.
Except that 2016 might be slightly different. Some of the titles tipped as contenders were released months ago: Inside Out in July and Carol more recently in November. Which means that the start of the year could be a little less fraught than usual. As for the films themselves, London Mums’ resident film critic, Freda Cooper, takes a look ahead and picks the must-sees.
