Supposing you haven’t seen anything Sylvester Stallone has starred in for the last twenty years, or any superhero movie ever, you might find something worthwhile in Samaritan. A young boy named Sam has been raised believing two super strong brothers had fought for justice in Granite City. But the two brothers, Samaritan and Nemesis, had…
Review: Luca
A simple but entertaining story. Luca lives under the sea with his parents as a family of sea monsters, working every day herding fish, when the intrigue of fallen objects from the land above gets the better of him. So begins a classic fish-out-of-water story, with added Vespas. Sometimes there isn’t a whole lot to…
Review: Nope
There something Human Centipede about this… A family of horse ranchers who have a history in Hollywood, experience strange goings on in their valley after a death in the family… “Academy Award Winner” Jordan Peele, director of horror hits such as Get Out and Us, returns to the big screen with Nope, after a spell…
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: Thor – Love and Thunder

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…
Review: Men
Possibly the most over-indulgent film by Alex Garland yet… When a woman’s husband kills himself, she rents out an old manor in the English countryside to escape the haunting memories. However, the town doesn’t seem to be all as it appears, and her escape might be taking a completely different route. Alex Garland is something…
Review: Top Gun – Maverick
When someone says longingly: “They don’t make films like that anymore,” this is the sort of film they are talking about! Pete “Maverick” Mitchell may not be in the Navy’s good books anymore, but when a deadly mission requires the best of the best to be even better, he is called in to teach them….
Review: Everything Everywhere All At Once
Moments of absurdity, emotion-filled, comedic, action packed. This film quite possibly has everything. A Chinese laundromat owner in America struggles with the balance of her work and family life, especially with her estranged daughter, traditional father, and seemingly weak-willed husband. But when her husband exhibits near inhuman abilities, and suddenly tells her she is the…
