I’ve said it before, The Conjuring is my all time favourite scary movie. However, since the success of that first movie, there have been a number of spin off movies, in an bid to build what’s now known as the ‘Conjuring Universe’. These movies have all varied in quality, ranging from the not too bad […]

Eighth Grade had its US release back in July last year and since then, I’ve seen nothing but praise and high ratings for it online. Only now is it heading to UK cinemas and, for some reason, the powers that be have decided to go and release it at the same time as Avengers: Endgame

Shazam is the latest DC superhero to land himself a standalone movie and continues to highlight the fact that these self contained DC offerings really do seem to be a lot better than their rushed ensemble movie output. It also shows how much better they can be when straying from the traditional dark DC gloom
I remember watching season 1 of Santa Clarita Diet and wondering after just a few episodes if it would ever make it to another season. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely loved the humour and the craziness of the show, but I just wasn’t sure how they would ever manage to stretch the idea out

It’s set to be a busy year for live action Disney remakes, with Aladdin and The Lion King already lined up for release this year. Kicking things off though, is this reimagining of the 1941 classic Dumbo, with Tim Burton directing. It’s 1919 and Holt Farrier (Colin Farrell) has returned from World War I, arriving by

Welcome to the first in a series of ‘Top 10’ lists by Team CineChat, Top 10 Tom Cruise movies. Some would say (my brother, my wife and now even my daughters!) that I have a bit of a man crush on Tom Cruise, and that I like him just a little too much. That may

I came away from ‘Us’ with a number of very different feelings. It kept me seriously on edge for the majority of it, making me feel uncomfortable and at times confused. It’s taken me a while to try and digest it all and to decide whether or not I actually even enjoyed it. The movie
Hot on the heels of Fighting with my Family comes yet another true story that I feel as though I should have known more about beforehand, but didn’t. Fisherman’s Friends tells the story of a group of singing Cornish fishermen who, in 2010, managed to not only land themselves a top 10 album but an

I hadn’t even heard anything about The Umbrella Academy before, let alone read any of the Dark Horse comic series on which this Netflix show is adapted from. The premise, and the trailer for the show, didn’t initially appeal to me if I’m honest. But, it turns out that Netflix have only gone and done

The original Happy Death Day was a real pleasant surprise. A cross between Groundhog Day and Scream, with our heroine being killed by a baby face mask wearing killer every day, only to wake up again at the start of the same day. With a long list of potential suspects, and slowly feeling the effects

We’ve had plenty of spins on the legend of King Arthur over the years. Probably the most enjoyable for me was BBC show ‘Merlin’, which ran for 5 seasons between 2008 and 2012, focusing on the early life of the famous sorcerer and King Arthur. Probably the worst take on it all was Guy Ritchie’s

James Cameron has spent more than a decade trying to bring Alita: Battle Angel to the big screen. Based on a popular cyberpunk manga series by Yukito Kishiro, published between 1990-1995, he has spent that time refining the script and developing the world that Alita inhabits. And that’s pretty much what he now spends most

As the DC movie universe continues to struggle with consistency and quality, it is so refreshing to finally come across a DC TV show as entertaining and as epic as this one. A show which, in my opinion, manages to get the tone and style just right, restrained at times, but constantly teasing much bigger
