I know this one is a little late and I’m in no doubt that most have already read reviews that will have led you to decide if this is your kind of film or not. I love most things musical, so although it took me a while I finally found the time to go and […]
After the big budget train wreck that was King Arthur: Legend of the Sword in 2017, and the big budget Disney remake of Aladdin last year, Guy Ritchie has returned to the comedy gangster roots where he made his name more than two decades ago. It’s the kind of movie that I’m not really a

I’m not exactly complaining, but Tom Holland does seem to literally be in everything right now. As I sat ready to watch Spies in Disguise, which features the voice of Tom Holland, there was a trailer for upcoming Pixar movie Onward, featuring the voice of Tom Holland. Then a trailer for Dolittle, starring Robert Downey

Like pretty much everyone else, when I first heard that the Robin Williams 1985 classic Jumanji was getting some kind of reboot/remake starring Dwayne Johnson, I was hugely sceptical. I probably even rolled my eyes and raised an eyebrow or something in disappointed disbelief! But then, also like pretty much everyone else judging by the

I have very mixed feelings following The Rise of Skywalker, the concluding chapter of not just another trilogy of Star Wars movies but also the conclusion of the Skywalker saga. Starting this trilogy, I was comforted by the familiarity presented in The Force Awakens and I felt that movie got the balance right between it’s

During the opening credits of Jojo Rabbit, we’re treated to The Beatles singing “I Want to Hold Your Hand” while documentary footage plays showing crowds of Germans going absolutely nuts for Hitler, sieg-heiling and cheering for him. It’s a fairly good indication of the kind of humour you can expect from Jojo Rabbit and writer/director

Back in 1974, a low-budget Canadian horror movie by the name of Black Christmas was released and was one of the first to define the slasher movie template that we’ve now become so heavily accustomed to. Black Christmas already got a remake back in 2006 and now we have another, coming this time from powerhouse

Usually when Cineworld host a secret screening for its unlimited members, it’s for a lesser known film that they’re hoping to drum up interest and support for. They do occasionally show something a bit more mainstream though (the last one I went to was for an advance showing of Le Mans ’66) and a lot

Taki is a 17 year old boy living in Tokyo. He lives the life of a normal teen – school, coffee shops with friends and in the evening he works as a waiter in an Italian restaurant where he has a crush on his boss. Mitsuha is a 17 year old girl living a very
Knives Out is written, produced and directed by Rian Johnson. Described as a modern take on the whodunit murder mystery genre, the film follows a family gathering gone horribly wrong, after the family patriarch’s death leads a master detective Benoit Blanc to investigate. There’s no messing around, within 5 minutes, straight after the opening credits,
I’m sure you don’t need me to tell you how big a hit 2013 movie Frozen was. For a long while after it was released, you couldn’t go on social media, or even turn on a TV, without seeing mention of Frozen in some form. And you couldn’t really avoid hearing somebody bash out their
I guess I’m not exactly the target audience for a Christmas rom-com, but I don’t usually mind them. Providing the leads have believable chemistry, there’s a good story behind it all, a few laughs and something that gives you that Christmas feel good feeling, I’m happy to watch them. Sadly though, for the most part,

Anyone who knows me knows that I have pretty much zero interest in cars. As long as they can get me from A to B, reliably and comfortably, then that’s good enough for me. I have even less interest in watching cars racing round and round and round at high speeds for hours on end

Following a childhood haunted by the terrifying events at the Overlook Hotel, Danny Torrance, played by a very understated Ewan McGregor, has been drifting for decades in a haze of drink and drugs, basically doing anything to forget & numb the ghosts that haunt his past via his special power, his ‘Shining’. Danny finds himself

Luce (Kelvin Harrison Jr) is the perfect student. Captain of the high school track team, a passionate member of the school debating society, a great writer and a polite, grown-up young man that just seems too good to be true. Luce was adopted at the age of 9 from war-torn Eritrea by white couple Amy
Terminator: Dark Fate is the sixth movie in a franchise which has now been around for a staggering 35 years. The first of the sequels, Judgement Day back in 1991, is widely regarded by many as one of the greatest movie sequels of all time and for me it still holds up as an incredible
