Even though I love Tom Holland as Spider-Man and the action setpieces are well choreographed, I never felt excited by Brand New Day. It's solid and enjoyable enough; I just wish it made me feel more. In cinemas now. Review: missflicks.com/2026/07/29/s...

Masters of the Universe is now streaming on Prime Video. It's not perfect - it's far too long and tries too hard to be funny - but it's far better than I expected it to be and I was very entertained. missflicks.com/2026/06/02/m...

Masters of the Universe review: Fun, irreverent take on ’80s fantasy

Prince Adam returns to Eternia after 15 years on Earth and tries to rescue it from the evil Skeletor.

On the Sea, starring Barry Ward and Lorne MacFadyen, is a touching but familiar queer love story. It's one of the restrained slow-burners where the characters rarely speak, let alone say what they feel, and I found this ultimately rather frustrating! Out Friday. missflicks.com/2026/07/21/o...

On the Sea review: Storytelling so restrained it becomes frustrating

I don't have a problem with Andy Serkis making a family-friendly and more hopeful spin on George Orwell's Animal Farm. That being said, the screenplay is awful, the attempts at comedy fail and it's a tonal mess. Previews this weekend. Review: missflicks.com/2026/07/17/a...

Animal Farm review: Family-friendly reimagining is hit and miss

When the animals run the farm for themselves, they think they're free - but pig Napoleon has other ideas.

The Odyssey is a staggering technical triumph and a mind-blowing filmmaking feat of a magnitude that only Christopher Nolan could have pulled off. However, I was not super invested in the story itself and found it lacking on an emotional level. In cinemas Friday. missflicks.com/2026/07/15/t...

The Odyssey review: Another technical triumph from Nolan

This epic follows Odysseus (Matt Damon) on his perilous journey home after the Trojan War.

Evil Dead Burn is a relentless, super violent gorefest filled with horrifying setpieces, scary deadites, inventive weapons and oodles of blood and body parts! Not as good as Evil Dead Rise but still a lot of fun. In cinemas today. Review: missflicks.com/2026/07/09/e...

Moana, a live-action remake of the 10-year-old animation, is a pointless exercise. It is the same film, beat for beat. However, Catherine Laga'aia is a good Moana, Dwayne Johnson is having a ball as Maui, and the scenes on Motunui look gorgeous. missflicks.com/2026/07/09/m...

Moana (2026) review: Lesser than the animation in every way

In this live-action remake, Moana teams up with a demigod to save her island from ruin.

Rosebush Pruning is a bizarre 'eat the rich' movie filled with perverse, shallow caricatures and empty shock value. I was excited to see this twisted family turn on each other, but it doesn't deliver on its promises or give us a satisfying pay-off. In cinemas now. missflicks.com/2026/07/08/r...

Erupcja is Charli XCX's most promising acting role to date (going by UK releases) - she gives a low-key, naturalistic performance alongside her excellent co-star Lena Góra. However, the film itself feels rushed, slight and narratively unsatisfying. In cinemas now. missflicks.com/2026/06/05/e...
