OUT TODAY: 'Spinal Tap II: The End Continues' is perfect for fans of one of the most famous fake bands of all time. It's nice to reunite with the mockumentary pioneers and see them together one last time - even if it's hitting a weaker note. Our review…

A new film from Paul Thomas Anderson always comes with astronomical expectations, but '#OneBattleAfterAnother' completely surpasses them. It isn't just, arguably, the best film of the year. It's the battle cry we so sorely need. Our ★★★★★ review…

30 years on from its release today, #DavidFincher's thriller '#Se7en' sees few films as dark as it, but also few as intoxicating, making it one of the greatest American films and a cinematic icon. It's an absolutely perfect creation. More in our retrospective review...

'#Kangaroo' might not reach the heights of a 'Red Dog', but its talented cast makes this an enjoyable romp with one of Australia's most iconic native animals. More in our review…

Today marks 15 years since 'Easy A' first brought us a pocketful of sunshine. Besides being hilarious, it's an important look into how female sexuality can be controlled by others, teaching us it's "nobody's goddamn business" except their own. More in our retrospective review…

'#TheConjuring: Last Rites' might not live up to the heights of the series's first two films, but it's a sweet send-off for some of horror's most iconic characters. While it lacks scares, it has great creative moments that make this a fun watch. More in our review…

OUT NOW: '#CaughtStealing' is less of a departure for #DarrenAronofsky as it is a pivot. You can feel the great director crack his knuckles, flex his muscles, shake off the familiar and try something new. It's one of the hidden gems of 2025. Our ★★★★ review…

OUT TODAY: '#NeZha 2' is a visual, crowd-pleasing epic. If you missed it or want to experience it again on the big screen, this new English dub is the perfect way to enter the world of 'Ne Zha'. More in our ★★★★ review…

Today marks 15 years since ‘#ScottPilgrimVsTheWorld’ first exploded onto our screens. You sense that there is complete freedom of expression to every wave of his wand over the frame, so much so that we dare not question the absurdity of it all. Our retrospective review…

It’s 50 years since ‘#PicnicAtHangingRock’ first appeared on our screens, and it may be one of y he finest films this country has produced. It's a bottomless well, deep and dark, so rich in ideas and provocations while utterly refusing to ever explain itself.

I could only say so much without giving it all away. Please do check out my redacted ★★★★½ review of ‘#WeaponsMovie’ for @maketheswitchau.bsky.social, but I highly recommend you see it for yourself.

Rewatching the Avatar films recently has got me going back to this @maketheswitchau.bsky.social piece on the film from 2022 www.maketheswitch.com.au/article/amp/...

OUT NOW: '#FreakierFriday' knows that its audience wants to see Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis together again, and that's completely fine. If you love the original, you'll enjoy this and truly, sometimes that's all you need. More in our review…

OUT NOW: '#BrideHard' is such an empty watch. It's not so bad, it's good - it's just there. These are pictures to fill the screen for audiences to sit in silence. It offers nothing, and somehow gives even less. More in our review…

'#Descendants' was released 10 years ago today. It was the last big ooh-rah for the #DisneyChannel. It may have been born in corporate synergy, but it encapsulates everything we love about the Disney Channel. Explore this rotten film in our retrospective review...

At its best, '#NewYorkNewYork' is a potent portrait of the struggles of balancing the artistic and the personal, the poison of professional jealousy and the violence in the fear of failure. Our review of Martin Sorcese's film on Blu-ray from Imprint Films…

With the release 4K release of '#RagingBull' from Imprint Films, it is such a film of its time and one that exists out of time, an object of pure cinema and raw humanity that feels modern, and primal and ancient all at once. More in our ★★★★★ review...

'#IKnowWhatYouDidLastSummer' wants you to think this franchise is a horror staple, but again proves that this isn't a notable series worth bringing back. It's a treat to see some old faces back, but otherwise isn't worth sinking your hook into. Our review…

It's 15 years since '#DespicableMe' launched onto our screens - bringing those bright yellow Minions with it. One thing that aided in its success was the gigantic marketing campaign for the film, and with each instalment, that only grew and grew...

It's 30 years since '#Apollo13' first flew onto our screens. It's one of the prime examples of the romantic Hollywood 1990s cinema. It’s a sweeping epic centred around a true story of three men caught in the ultimate nightmare. Our retrospective review...

It's 40 years since '#BackToTheFuture' first flew onto screens. If it taught us anything, it's that changing the past changes the future. Two more sequels would eventuate, and the car that never should have existed became the car everyone wanted...

OUT NOW: While the ‘#JurassicWorld’ films are never going to live up to the mega success that was 'Jurassic Park', ‘Rebirth’s’ action sequences will keep you chewing on your nails - even if it also lacks a little spark in its story. More in our review…

OUT NOW: '#M3GAN 2.0' does deliver when it comes to the titular doll; her upgrade to camp icon is perfect. However, this time, the plot around our girl is weaker, with the diva we came to see missing from large stretches. More in our review...

'#Midsommar' is available to stream for free from today on SBS On Demand. Ari Aster's film is an opera - audacious, breathtaking and overwhelming. Find out more in Daniel's review...

It's 50 years since '#Jaws' first lurched onto cinema screens. No film about a man-eating shark should be this accomplished, this important, this memorable, or frankly, this perfect. Find out what makes it a masterpiece…

OUT TODAY: '#28YearsLater' is a stellar film, intelligently written and bombastically realised, building on the grand tradition of weird and wonderful British sci-fi and perhaps the most inherently cinematic sub-genre of #horror storytelling. More in our ★★★★½ review…
