Review: Hellraiser (2022)

But when the two of them find a mysterious puzzle box, they hope their lives will get easier. Unfortunately, that…
Review: Three Thousand Years of Longing
An intellectual and pleasant experience overall. Our story follows an academic named Alithea, who while traveling the world as a scholar of stories, encounters a djinn trapped in a bottle.

Review: Bullet Train
A hi-octane, violent, funny action movie that ticks all the right boxes. Multiple trained assassins board a bullet train in Tokyo, only to find out their objectives are intertwined. Directed by David Leitch (director of Deadpool 2, Atomic Blonde, and co-director of John Wick) Bullet Train is a marvellous piece of escapist action. It is…

Review: Jurassic World – Dominion
There has been far too much splicing involved to keep this prehistoric franchise going… Dinosaurs are freely roaming the Earth, and corporations are now using genetic power to affect the ecosystem. When mercenaries kidnap both Blue’s daughter and cloned human Maisie, it is up to Owen and Claire to get them back. 2015’s Jurassic World…
