The Colour Purple (Movie) – Review

There are movies in this world that deal with topics and themes that will make people uncomfortable and that’s the whole point. The viewer is meant to feel what the characters feel, and really take stock in a situation, asking themselves how they would react if they were in place

Strays (Movie) – Review

Over the years, there have been many examples of “funny talking dog” films. “Strays” is certainly one of those examples, but is it a good one? Well, that depends on your sense of humour, because this is the first “talking animal” movie to receive an R rating in the history

7.5

Asteroid City (Movie) – Review

Every Wes Anderson film feels like that dream you have after you’ve eaten the leftover garlic gnocchi from three days ago; Far from a nightmare, but not quite all the way to “happy”, and there’s an area of imagination that is stained with coffee, dust and childhood heartbreak. We watch

9

Oppenheimer (Movie) – Review

The notion of telling the story of Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer, the father of the Atom bomb, in a compelling and equally sombre film would scare away some of the most brilliant minds in Hollywood. Christopher Nolan, however, is widely praised for his achievements in bringing together cinematic brilliance and

7

Renfield – Review

The horror/comedy duo threat has seen plenty of films over the years to varying degrees of success. A personal favourite of mine was “Dracula: Dead and Loving It,” which made fun of the prince of darkness by disarming his menacing legacy. Enter 2023, and Renfield takes a bite at the

Book Club: The Next Chapter – Review

In 2018, four of Hollywood’s best gals made a lighthearted film about old friends that stayed connected through a book club with a splash of their own shenanigans. Several years on, Universal Pictures has brought them back to see what the next chapter can bring for the long-standing friends. As

9

Air – Review

Since 1984, Nike’s Air Jordans has been the leading basketball shoe brand, with its maximum comfort improving performance on the court, and its unique design with a very recognisable logo, all based around NBA legend and Hall of Famer, Michael Jordan. Nike wasn’t always the giant sporting brand we know

9

TILL – Review

To capture the audience’s attention, you need a hook. Usually, “Based on a true story” is enough to gain interest, but when the true story is so affecting and culturally significant that it changes the course of history for an entire country, that should be a flashing billboard to see

9

Creed III – Review

Michael B. Jordan has been nothing short of a phenomenon in his acting career and has done the seemingly insurmountable job of taking over where the Rocky Balboa stories have left off. This time though, he will be responsible for what happens in front and behind the camera as he

Puss in Boots: The Last Wish – Review

Ever since his debut in 2004’s ‘Shrek 2’, DreamWorks’ swashbuckling feline has been charming his way on the big screen, even getting his own self-titled spinoff solo film in 2011, plus various appearances in short films, theatre shows, and video games as part of the Shrek franchise, as well as

Armaggedon Time – Review

Set in New York City in 1980, the prejudice and troubling behaviours of generations that came before are slowly fading, but

6.5

Bros – Review

The romantic comedy genre is ideally a safe, fun experience, and usually is a film that doesn’t have to rewrite the successful formula. Billy Eichner and Nicholas Stoller have teamed up to create their own spin on the formulaic model that both pokes fun at the idea of doing just

9

Mrs Harris Goes To Paris – Review

Lesley Manville stars as the title character of Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris, the latest adaptation based on the popular 1958 novel, Mrs. Arris Goes to Paris, written by Paul Gallico. Set in 1957, Ada Harris works hard as a cleaner in London for two different clients. Despite living a

7

Ticket to Paradise – Review

In terms of Hollywood royalty, being able to have Julia Roberts or George Clooney by themselves would be enough to pique your interest, let alone having both star together in the same film. Reuniting once again on the silver screen, this time is a romantic comedy, the two parents at

10

The Phantom Of The Open – Review

Walking into the cinema, I wasn’t sure what to expect from ‘The Phantom of the Open’ & I had never heard of Maurice Flitcroft either. The Phantom Of The Open is directed by Craig Roberts and scripted by Paddington 2 screenwriter Simon Farnaby, based on the book he co-wrote with

9

Elvis (2022) – Review

From the moment Elvis first stepped on the scene, a change was set in motion that can still be felt to this day. One man transcended what it meant to be a superstar and became an icon, a king, and a symbol to rally behind. It’s still wild to comprehend
