Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore is the third film in the Fantastic Beasts prequel series, set in the wizarding world during a time before Harry Potter. The franchise is based very loosely on an educational textbook from the Harry Potter series and this third instalment plunges us into a complicated, pointless story that is

Boiling Point is a one-shot culinary drama centring around the evening service in a busy restaurant in the run-up to Christmas. Now available and starring the ever-brilliant Stephen Graham, it brings a not often seen side of restaurants to the forefront and while this is definitely interesting with some great performances, it ultimately ended up

Peacemaker is the latest DC show to hit our screens, following on from the events of last year’s reboot/sequel The Suicide Squad. Written and directed by James Gunn, the man behind both The Suicide Squad and the Guardians of the Galaxy films, it shouldn’t be a massive surprise that Peacemaker is by far the best

Turning Red is the newest Pixar release now available to stream on Disney+. Moving away from their customary adventure, buddy style movie format, Turning Red is decisively a coming-of-age story, and one that Pixar has turned into a heart-warming, fun and adorably cute tale. The film follows Meilin Lee (Rosalie Chiang), a thirteen-year-old academic overachiever,

Pam & Tommy is the 8-episode mini-series telling the true story behind the release of the infamous sex tape of Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee in the 90s, now streaming in the UK on Disney+. While the story itself is genuinely interesting, after watching the full 8-episode run I’m not convinced that we really need

The Adam Project is the latest Netflix produced release, a mind-bending sci-fi with its new take on time travel. Despite reuniting director Shawn Levy and Ryan Reynolds following on from last year’s fun and entertaining Free Guy, I had fairly low expectations. But what could quite easily have been yet another lacklustre Netflix release instead

The Batman is the latest incarnation of the Dark Knight, this time taken on by Cloverfield director Matt Reeves. Coming only a few years after Ben Affleck’s appearance as the caped crusader, The Batman sees Robert Pattinson take on a much darker, gothic version of the hero, to surprising success. The film opens in Gotham

The Power of the Dog is the Oscar-nominated western from Jane Campion, based on the book by Thomas Savage. With a total of 12 Oscar nominations, including Best Actor and Best Motion Picture, expectations for this were incredibly high. And while there are a lot of aspects that are very good, the overall story seems

This Is Going to Hurt is the tv adaptation of the best-selling memoir by Adam Kay, chronicling the daily struggles of a junior doctor in Obstetrics and Gynaecology. Now a 7-part BBC series starring Ben Whishaw, the show blends humour and heartfelt drama with an interesting commentary on the NHS, with rather mixed success. Ben

Death on the Nile is the second Hercule Poirot story to be given the Kenneth Branagh treatment, following on from 2017’s Murder on the Orient Express. With a star-studded cast, an opulent setting and Branagh in place as both the titular detective and director, you’d expect big things. However what unfolds feels rather dull, empty

Uncharted is the long-awaited film adaptation of the hit game series, finally hitting the big screen after spending nearly 15 years in development. With a cast and trailer that left die-hard game fans unconvinced, sadly the end result doesn’t do enough to convince even an Uncharted novice that it’s worth its weight in gold. Directed
And Just Like That… is the long-awaited revival of the smash hit Sex and the City, hitting our screens 18 years after the finale of the original series (the less said about the films, the better). With the full series now available on Sky and Now TV, I couldn’t wait to jump back in with

Monster Hunter is the live-action adaptation of the Japanese video game series of the same name, now available to watch on Sky and Now TV. While it may look and feel very similar to a video game, sadly this film isn’t anywhere near as fun and satisfying. Directed by Paul W.S. Anderson (Resident Evil and

The Matrix Resurrections is the fourth film in the Matrix series, the first since the release of the second sequel Revolutions in 2003. Following on from two sequels that were misjudged to say the best, Resurrections is the sequel that no one really asked for and after watching it, it’s definitely a sequel we didn’t
