A ★★★½ review of Heart of the Beast (2026)
Heart of the Beast is a solid lost-in-nature survival thriller. However, with a man and his dog who are both veterans of the army Special Forces at the centre, it also takes on PTSD in both people and...

A ★★★ review of Insidious: Out of the Further (2026)
The sixth movie in the Insidious franchise is a soft reboot, soft mainly in the sense that Lin Shaye returns as Elise, but also because it can’t resist the same references to the first movie and its d...

A ★★★½ review of Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (2026)
The sequel is not quite as good as the first, but it’s just as much fun. Samara Weaving remains an enigmatic scream queen and the shining, albeit bloodied, light in these films. Kathryn Newton was def...

A ★★★★½ review of Project Hail Mary (2026)
Amaze amaze amaze. Project Hail Mary has a lot of great sci-fi elements, several thrilling sequences, an abundance of Ryan Gosling charisma, but most of all a galactic quantity of heart. Like Interste...

A ★★★½ review of Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man (2026)
There is no bad Peaky Blinders. Steven Knight and co have managed to consistently hit a level of quality that is barely matched in TV/film. The Immortal Man does not fall that below that level, but ne...

A ★★★½ review of Song Sung Blue (2025)
In much the same way as there is a lot more to Neil Diamond than Sweet Caroline, there is a lot more to Song Sung Blue than you might think from the trailer or a general expectation. Hugh Jackman and ...

A ★★★½ review of Blue Moon (2025)
With all the references to Casablanca, my favourite film, I can’t help but really like Blue Moon. Of course what really makes the film is the screenplay and how Ethan Hawke performs his large share of...

A ★★★★ review of If I Had Legs I'd Kick You (2025)
If I Had Legs I’d Kick You is absolutely a horror film. Watching the pressure which Rose Byrne’s Linda is under is truly horrifying, and the brilliantly-crafted psychological and body horror makes for...

A ★★★ review of The Bride! (2026)
It’s probably too cliché by now to say The Bride! is a real Frankenstein’s monster of different parts stitched together, so instead I’ll say that Maggie Gyllenhaal takes some big, interesting swings, ...
