KMTV Kent Tonight Thursday 26 February 2026

On this week's KMTV chat I discussed last weekend's BAFTAs with Finn, where I Swear, Sinners and One Battle After Another performed well. And I look back at previous BAFTA ceremonies and whether the BAFTAs have traditionally favoured home grown talent, as well as whether films released at the end of the year tend to do better in awards ceremonies than those films released earlier.

It (Andy Muschietti, 2017)

This film captures a very specific time and place – late 1988 followed by the summer of 1989 – and, like ‘Stand by Me’, follows a group of young children on the cusp of adolescence dealing with trauma, bullying and abuse, all of which become embodied in Pennywise, the ancient, satanic clown who terrorises the town of Derry, Maine every thirty years or so....

Cabin at the Movies Saturday 21 February 2026

I was joined by Herne Bay singing legend Martin Farbrother for the latest episode of Cabin at the Movies. Alongside choosing his favourite movie musicals, Martin also performed three famous movie songs. Plus, all the usual features, including a look at what happened this week in movie history and reviews of the latest releases, including Wuthering Heights and Send Help.

The President’s Cake (Hasan Hadi, 2025)

I had expected this perhaps to be a looser or more comedic film than it turns out to be. Instead, this Arabic-language debut from Iraqi filmmaker Hasan Hadi is a quietly devastating portrait of life under dictatorship. Set in 1990, it feels entirely rooted in another world — one without mobile phones or instant communication — where sanctions against Saddam Hussein’s Iraq have left food, medicine, and basic resources desperately scarce....

KMTV Kent Tonight Thursday 19 February 2026

Chris Deacy's chat with Kristin Hawthorne from KMTV on 19 February about this year's Oscars frontrunners, including Sinners, and a look back at the types of films the Academy have tended to cherish over the years… from historical epics and musicals to the more subversive, idiosyncratic - and perhaps surprising - winners in the vein of No Country for Old Men.

No Country for Old Men (Ethan & Joel Coen, 2007)

This is a contemporary western with a very dark heart, centred on a drug deal gone disastrously wrong and a briefcase full of cash that Josh Brolin’s hunter character believes he can quietly walk away with after discovering a landscape littered with bodies. He assumes no one will notice – but he is relentlessly pursued by a psychopath played by Javier Bardem, creating a knuckle-tight thriller driven by one of the most terrifying villains modern cinema has produced....

Whistle (Corin Hardy, 2025)

This teen horror film operates very much in the mould of ‘Final Destination’. Here, an ancient Aztec death whistle turns up in a school locker, and whoever blows it triggers a chain reaction that ultimately leads to the deaths of everyone who hears its sound. Like ‘The Craft’ from 1996, the story centres on a group of teenage misfits – one struggling with drug addiction following her father’s death in which she may have been implicated – who become drawn into forces far beyond their control....

Rain Man (Barry Levinson, 1988)

In some ways, this is one of Tom Cruise’s finest performances, even though he was overlooked at the Oscars while Dustin Hoffman won for his portrayal of an autistic man, Raymond – the older brother of Cruise’s fast-talking young hustler, Charlie, who has grown up believing he was an only child. When their father dies, Charlie – who had a difficult relationship with him – feels cheated out of his inheritance after discovering that most of the money has been left to this previously unknown brother who is living in an institution....

Crime 101 (Bart Layton, 2026)

This film very much operates in the mode of ‘Heat’ from the mid-1990s. Once again we have a thief who seems to have little discernible past and who, like Robert De Niro in Michael Mann’s classic, embarks on a relationship with someone he meets almost by chance, yet cannot – and will not – reveal too much about himself, which inevitably undermines any hope of intimacy....
