Movie Review – Project Hail Mary (2026)
Read more: Movie Review – Project Hail Mary (2026)What a ride Project Hail Mary is to kick off the blockbusters of 2026. Expecting something serious, the tone leans more into humour than most modern sci-fi epics. Think Interstellar with a cute cuddly rock creature.

Movie Review – Misgivings (2024)
Read more: Movie Review – Misgivings (2024)Misgivings lulls you into thinking it’s a quiet coastal character study before gradually slipping into something far more offbeat. The indie feature-length film doesn’t give much away, but the deliberately quirky flick has plenty of twists and turns to keep you interested.

Movie Review – Hamnet (2025)
Read more: Movie Review – Hamnet (2025)Hamnet is an intriguing take on the Shakespeare legacy, inspired by Maggie O’Farrell’s novel that imagines the death of Shakespeare’s only son and its possible influence on his work. Mixing fact and fiction, it focuses on the death of Shakespeare’s only son, Hamnet, and in doing so doesn’t pretend to be a true biopic about…

Movie Review – Primate (2025)
Read more: Movie Review – Primate (2025)ow this is a genre of movie that isn’t utilised enough – the crazy chimp horror. I have a childhood memory of what I think was a TV show where a chimpanzee attacks people. If anyone knows of a show or movie from the late 80s or early 90s, please let me know. It may…

Classic Movie Review – Prospect (2018)
Read more: Classic Movie Review – Prospect (2018)Prospect is a hidden gem of a sci-fi / western that likely flew under the radar for many. While not perfect, it is well put together, well-acted, and has enough suspense and action to satisfy many a fan of the genre.

Movie Review – Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (2025)
Read more: Movie Review – Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (2025)With a focus on mental health, Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere chronicles the period leading up to Bruce’s Nebraska album and his connection to his father. It has some nice moments, and Jeremy Allen White is a good choice considering the film calls for plenty of staring into space, pondering life moments.

Classic Movie Review – Saltburn (2023)
Read more: Classic Movie Review – Saltburn (2023)With Wuthering Heights getting plenty of attention, it’s time to go back to director Emerald Fennell’s last film Saltburn. With only a few movies under her belt, Fennell has dabbled in extremes, and this is no exception.

Classic Movie Review – Europa Report (2013)
Read more: Classic Movie Review – Europa Report (2013)Europa Report is an interesting found footage film about the first manned mission to Europa, the icy Galilean moon of Jupiter. It takes a realistic approach to the perils of travelling far away from our planet and does a good job of using claustrophobia associated with deep space travel to build tension.

Classic Movie Review – Fever Pitch (2005)
Read more: Classic Movie Review – Fever Pitch (2005)Pitching closer to the traditional romantic comedy, Fever Pitch is a fairly harmless movie held up by good casting. A surprising turn given we are talking about the best gross out director duo of the last 40 years or so.

Movie Review – Cleaner (2025)
Read more: Movie Review – Cleaner (2025)Daisy Ridley proves her action chops in this fun little Die Hard-esque romp. Don’t go in expecting anything beyond a fun popcorn movie and you will have a good time. I’m going to go out on a limb and suggest director Martin Campbell (basically Bond royalty, having done Goldeneye and Casino Royale) has managed to…
