Review: Shangi-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
Before we get into this review, I want to say something very quickly. It has been twenty months since I’ve been to the cinema; the last film I saw was Disney’s Onward, back in April 2020, just before the full lockdown was in place for the public sector. It has been tough, and I have…
Banter: The Lost Legend
I’d like to bring your attention to a little-known, cult film from 1985 that will forever be stuck in my mind as incredible fantasy film nostalgia. The film is called Legend and was directed by Ridley Scott and stars Tom Cruise. Now you might well know this film, but did you know that the version…

Review: The Dark Tower
After many, many years of development hell, this Stephen King adaptation finally arrives and… it ain’t that bad!

Review: Star Trek Beyond (2D)
Star Trek Beyond, for better or worse, takes Trek’s new action orientation and gives it a more traditional feel. We reunite with the crew halfway through their five year mission into deep space, but while their captain and crew are reluctant and tired from the experience they find themselves in the middle of a war…
