On top of more adventures with Millie Bobby Brown as Enola Holmes, there’s also a ‘Sherlock Junior’ movie currently in development, as well as talk of a ‘Sherlock’s Daughter’ series. […]

I’ve been thinking about death a lot recently. I don’t think I’m the only one. Through the last 12 months, we’ve been confronted by our mortality more than ever before, as well as being trapped in a constant groundhog day style loop of self-reflection. For myself, I’ve also recently been dealing with my own grieving

Though Wonder Woman 1984 came out in 2020, like many based in the UK I was unable to see it upon its initial release. Riding out the twitter storm that followed it’s HBO Max release, I did my best to avoid the majority of spoilers, but I knew the opinion was mixed. I went in with an open

So I heard going in that this was like Ghost but with kids. I suppose you could sort of say that, but without the feeling, the nuance or the humour. Alexandra Shipp plays Riley, a young girl about to go off to college to study Law. She is head over heels in love with Chris, your
I’m always excited when another new Christmas movie comes along, especially when it looks as fresh and exciting as Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey does. Writer and director David E Talbert originally conceived this story as a musical play, but it now finds its home on Netflix as a feature film, and just in time

For as long as I can remember Ghost has been a special film. I have fond memories of watching it repeatedly, though I was drastically too young to see the film, but now I can look back and laugh at the years of nightmares its antagonists gave me. Ghost is considered a chick flick; one

This was first written in January 2014. There is an update at the end of the article. After watching a documentary about the show, I was inspired to re-watch The Munsters. This was a successful American television show that aired for 2 seasons from 1964-1966 on CBS. In the early 1960’s Universal sold the rights

Locke and Key has one of the most interesting and out there premises currently showing on TV – in my humble opinion. After their father’s murder, the 3 Locke children move with their mother to their fathers’ ancestral home in Matheson Massachusetts; Key House. As it turns out, this is a rather magical house – or rather it contains several magical

Weathering With You is another beautifully creative romantic fantasy from director Makoto Shinkai, who was responsible for 2016 hit, Your Name. I only recently watched Your Name, and to say that it blew me away would be an understatement – it’s a movie I still think about to this day. So, I headed into Weathering

“How long have we been on this rock? Five weeks? Two Days? Where are we?” The Lighthouse is a truly visceral film that will leave you reeling with madness – just like it’s central characters. To watch The Lighthouse is to become trapped in the lighthouse. Robert Pattinson plays Ephraim, who is sent to a

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

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
Rocketman recently did a great job of reminding us just how good Elton John songs are, making us want to dust off our vinyl/plastic/streaming service collection and reacquaint ourselves with his back catalogue all over again. Last year, the Bohemian Rhapsody movie did a similar thing for the music of Queen and now it’s the
Before heading into Godzilla: King of the Monsters, I saw a lot of wildly mixed reviews online. People were either hating it or loving it, with nobody really feeling anything in-between. Even those cinema goers who were fully prepared for nothing more than a bunch of big monsters fighting alongside insignificant human bystanders were coming
