6.5

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

7.5

Meg 2: The Trench (Movie) – Review

In 2018, The Meg debuted in cinemas, featuring a prehistoric megalodon existing in the modern day, terrorising the seas and making its way to a resort. While the Warner Bros.

8

The Flash (2023) – Review

There was a time when I thought the Flash movie would never make it through its tumultuous off-screen journey. Through thick and thin, Warner Bros have stuck to their goal and pushed through to deliver what may be one of the final entries to the Snyderverse version of the DCU.

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

FAST X – Review

Ever since 2001, the ‘Fast and Furious’ franchise has been ripping up the streets with their high-octane, adrenaline-pumping, and outrageous action-packed films, which have always gone bigger and wilder with each instalment in the series. Dom Toretto, his family, and the gang are back again for the latest entry, ‘Fast

7

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

6

Cocaine Bear – Review

I never thought I would be in a situation where I would utter the words “cocaine bear” and “true story” in the same sentence, but here we go. Based on true events, the film “Cocaine Bear” takes us back in time to 1985 to relive a greatly exaggerated tale of

8

Magic Mike’s Last Dance – Review

Channing Tatum returns to one of his most iconic roles as Mike Lane in the third installment of the Magic Mike films, Magic Mike’s Last Dance. With Steven Soderbergh back in the director’s chair from the original film, it also stars Salma Hayek, Ayub Khan Din, and plenty of dancers

Mummies, the brand-new animated film from Warner Brothers, brings the afterlife back into modern-day London for a zany adventure.

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

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

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

Black Adam – Review

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has been toiling away in the background for 15 years give or take, all with the hopes of making his dream come true of bringing “Black Adam” to the big screen. Produced by Warner Brothers and directed by Jaume Collet-Serra, this electric addition to the DC

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

8.5

The Northman – Review

The world over has been the home to many mythologies, each with its own tales, sagas, and stories passed down through generations. There is one tale, however, that has stood against the test of time, been adopted by Shakespeare, and would most likely be the most adopted story of all
