Fast, silly and unapologetically daft. Fackham Hall throws jokes at you nonstop, some land brilliantly, others miss, but the energy and ensemble cast keep it fun. A throwaway spoof of period dramas that’s uneven, chaotic, but still good for plenty of laughs! 🏡🏡🏡 3/5 Fackham Halls

Pillion is a bold, surprisingly funny, and tender film blending BDSM with emotional depth. Harry Melling's awkwardly curious character brings humour with real heart, offering a fresh, thought-provoking take on desire and identity. 🏍️🏍️🏍️ 3/5 Pillion Passengers

Sisu: Road to Revenge is one hell of a sequel! They cranked up the original's crazy violence but grounded it with real heart. Aatami's tragic backstory fuels his whole Mad Max style revenge mission. Which makes all the non-stop action feel so much better. 💪💪💪💪 4/5 Sisu's

Del Toro’s Frankenstein is a masterclass in gothic filmmaking. Visually stunning and packed with emotional weight, it weaves an atmospheric story brought to life by perfect casting and Alexandre Desplat’s gorgeous score. A bold, brilliant revival of a classic. 🧟‍♂️🧟‍♂️🧟‍♂️🧟‍♂️ 4/5 Elordi’s

Wicked: For Good delivers a richer, darker story that deepens the original’s themes. The emotional weight of Elphaba and Glinda’s choices hits hard, giving the sequel real power and resonance with an epic conclusion to their stories. Not a dry eye in the house. 💚🩷💚🩷 4/5 Changed For Good

Predator: Badlands delivers fresh world-building, beautiful cinematography and a surprisingly emotional arc. Though some fans may find the softer tone and character focus less true to classic Predator, it’s an entertaining and ambitious addition to the franchise. 👽👽👽 3/5 Yautjas

Keeper is atmospheric and eerie, beautifully shot, and Tatiana Maslany absolutely carried it. I loved the weird, slow burn vibe, but the story did drift and the ending felt a bit “eh?”. Still, it stuck with me. Creepy, moody, but wouldn’t watch again 👹👹 2/5 Keepers

Chainsaw Man - The Movie: Reze Arc is a stunning! MAPPA’s animation is fluid and visceral, paired with masterful direction and an electrifying soundtrack. The sound design and voice acting elevate every scene, delivering an emotionally charged, beautifully crafted story. 🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶 5/5 Pochitas!!

Shelby Oaks got under my skin right away, the mockumentary style feels authentic, and the mystery around the creature is genuinely creepy. But once it abandons that format, the film stumbles. The tone shifts, and what began as gripping horror turns into a bit of a mess. 👹👹 2/5 Creature Features

Bugonia is a mesmerising triumph from Yorgos Lanthimos. Visually stunning, darkly funny, and emotionally sharp. Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons deliver captivating performances in a daring satire that brilliantly exposes the absurdities of power, truth, and human delusion. 🐝🐝🐝🐝 4/5 Honey Bees

Roofman totally won me over, Channing Tatum delivers one of his most genuine moving performances yet. I didn’t expect to tear up, but the story’s warmth and hope hit hard. It’s a heartfelt, funny, and beautifully human film about second chances and finding light in unexpected places 👷👷👷👷 4/5 Tatums

The Black Phone 2 tries to expand the story but loses the tension and focus that made the first film great. Over-explained, slow, and lacking real scares, it feels more like a slick copy than a true sequel. Ethan Hawke is solid, but everything else rings hollow. A major step down. 🦞🦞 2/5 Grabbers

The Conjuring: Last Rites delivers emotional closure for Ed and Lorraine Warren with strong performances and scares, but it often leans on familiar tropes and uneven pacing. A fitting, if predictable, finale. 🪞🪞🪞 3/5 Cursed Relics

Tron: Ares delivers stunning visuals and a pulsating Nine Inch Nails score that amplify every frame. But despite the spectacle, its thin story and shallow characters keep it from truly resonating. A neon-lit marvel that looks and sounds better than it feels. 🚴🚴🏻‍♀️ 2/5 Light Cycles

Catching GoldenEye on the big screen for its 30th anniversary proves its still one of the best Bond films! Slick pacing, sharp action, and Brosnan’s perfect mix of charm and steel make it a timeless, modern Bond classic. 🕵️🕵️🕵️🕵️ 4/5 Licenses to Kill

HIM is stylish, strange, and unsettling, mixing horror with sporting ambition. It looks great and has moments of promise, but the story’s messy and uneven. Still, it sticks with you, creepy, bold, and flawed in a way that’s hard not to admire. 🏈🏈🏈 3/5 Oval Balls

Dead of Winter is a slow-burning thriller. The snowy wilderness amps up isolation and claustrophobia, with man and nature both as threats. Some parts feel predictable, but it’s still a gripping survival film worth seeing. And Emma Thompson is brilliant, as always! 🎣🎣🎣 3/5 Fishing Trip Hazards

A Night Like This is tender and understated, with strong performances and a quiet charm. Its night-time wander feels authentic and heartfelt, capturing fleeting connections with warmth and honesty. 🌑🌑 2/5 Midnight Encounters

The Long Walk is bleak, tense, and strangely beautiful. The film pulls you into its exhausting, fearful world, making you truly care for the characters. At times it drags, but deliberately so mirroring the march itself. Haunting, emotional, and unforgettable. 🚶🏻‍➡️🚶🏾‍➡️🚶🏿‍➡️🚶‍➡️ 4/5 Long Walks

The Roses is a triumphant anti-rom-com, brimming with razor-sharp wit and dark bite. Colman and Cumberbatch’s relationship sizzles on screen, delivering a blistering portrait of love curdled into resentment, as their marriage unravels in a chaotic climax. 👩🏻‍❤️‍👨🏻👩🏻‍❤️‍👨🏻👩🏻‍❤️‍👨🏻👩🏻‍❤️‍👨🏻 4/5 Happily Ever Afters

The Toxic Avenger reboot is a wild, campy adventure packed with over-the-top gore, practical effects, and goofy fun. Dinklage and Bacon are both equally brilliant, in a self-aware splatterfest that channels 80's B-movie chaos. Messy but hilarious. ☣️☣️☣️ 3/5 Toxic Spills

The Fantastic Four: First Steps was surprisingly refreshing! The design aesthetic of a retro-futurist style New York is stunning. Kirby and Moss-Bachrach’s performance’s really shine. Definitely the most enjoyable and faithful take on Marvel’s First Family I’ve seen. 🤖🤖🤖 3/5 H.E.R.B.I.E’s

The Naked Gun reboot shouldn’t work, but it kind of just does. Not every gag lands, yet the slapstick and one-liners had the audience and. myself laughing. Neeson’s deadpan is hilarious, and it feels like the silly comedies I grew up with, flawed but worth it for the lols. 🕵️‍♂️🕵️‍♂️ 2/5 Frank Drebin Jrs

Darkly hilarious yet unexpectedly touching, Together shows that horror can have heart. Brie and Franco’s real-life chemistry makes the absurd irresistible, transforming a grotesque tale into a strangely sweet story of love, codependency, and magnetic connection. 🫂🫂🫂🫂 4/5 Hugs

Nostalgia meets fresh charm in Freakier Friday. Reuniting Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis, it’s a heartfelt, fun multigenerational body-swap comedy that captures the spirit of the original while adding warmth, strong performances, and surprising emotional depth. 🔄🔄🔄 3/5 Body Swaps

Weapons is a curiously intricate exploration of a fictional yet eerily authentic supernatural event. Told through a series of interwoven short stories, its plot gradually peels back layers of mystery, steadily tightening the tension until it reaches a carefully crafted crescendo. ⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰ 5/5 2:17’s

The Legend of Ochi has a weird, striking world and gorgeous nostalgic aesthetic, but the slow pace, thin plot, and lack of emotional punch left me cold. A true Marmite film, beautiful to look at, hard to love. 🐵🐵 2/5 Ochi's

Sally Hawkins is phenomenal in Bring Her Back, absolutely chilling. Her performance grounds the film’s twisted, grief-fueled horror perfectly. It’s dark, unsettling, and left me genuinely disturbed in the best way. One of the most intense horror experiences I’ve ever! 💔💔💔💔💔 5/5 Heartbreaks

A lazy, shallow reboot that leans too hard on nostalgia. Weak script, thin characters, and a clunky twists ruin any tension. Even returning stars can't save this dull, derivative slasher. A cash-grab with no real reason to exist. 🪝 1/5 Fish Hooks

Finally got to see Hayao Miyazakis magnum opus on the big screen this evening. Spirited Away never fails to blow me away, with its wistful vistas, heartwarming story and wonderfully eclectic characters. A masterpiece! 🧙🏻‍♀️🧙🏻‍♀️🧙🏻‍♀️🧙🏻‍♀️🧙🏻‍♀️ 5/5 Yubbas

Not the biggest Superman fan, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Surprisingly funny, though a bit plot-heavy. The satire on politics and power was refreshing, if slightly on the nose. Visually stunning, well acted and who doesn’t love a dog in a cape? 🐕🐕🐕 3/5 Space Doggos

I was lucky to catch The Girl Who Leapt Through Time in theatres during its rerelease. Makoto’s awkward charm carries a heartfelt blend of sci-fi and coming-of-age themes. Gorgeous animation and emotion make it one of the most quietly powerful anime films I’ve seen. ⏳⏳⏳⏳ 4/5 Leaps through time

Jurassic World Rebirth is visually stunning with solid action and great cast chemistry, but after the first hour the story begins to feel predictable. The nostalgia hits well, but the mutant dino twist didn’t fully work for me. Fun, but not quite the franchise reset I hoped for. 🦖🦖 2/5 Dinos

Megan 2.0 provides a curious shift from novel camp horror into sci-fi action comedy. Megan is still the star of the show but has gone from being villain to anti-hero. The plot is convoluted and a tad overstuffed, but the experience is enjoyable, if not slightly chaotic. 🤖🤖 2/5 Murderbots

Elio is a heartwarming, beautifully animated Pixar adventure filled with wonder, emotion, and charm. With stunning visuals, lovable characters, and a touching story about finding your place, it’s a joyful and imaginative film perfect for dreamers of all ages. 👽👽👽👽 4/5 Take Me To Your Leaders

28 Years Later is a bold, stylish sequel where Danny Boyle blends horror and emotion with political allegory. With evolved infected, strong performances, and a divisive ending, it reinvigorates the Rage saga while setting up a new trilogy. Thoughtful, brutal, unforgettable. 🧟‍♂️🧟‍♂️🧟‍♂️🧟‍♂️ 4/5 Zombies

The live action version of How to Train Your Dragon honestly surprised me. I was worried it wouldn’t capture the heart of the original, but it really did, and then some! The bond between Hiccup and Toothless feels just as special, and the world feels just as vivid! 🐉 🐉🐉 3/5 Dragons

The live action Lilo & Stitch beautifully expands on the original story, deepening Lilo & Stitch’s bond while honouring the themes of Ohana. A successful, faithful adaptation from Disney's vast back catalogue that brings fresh emotion and charm to beloved classic. 🌺🌺🌺 3/5 Ohanas

Ana de Armas dazzles in Ballerina, delivering a fierce and emotionally grounded performance. The action is brutal and perfectly matched with a story that is surprisingly rich, seamlessly expanding the John Wick universe with depth and style, a killer spin-off! 🩰🩰🩰 3/5 Ballet Shoes

The Salt Path is a beautifully soulful, tender, raw, and utterly human story. Gillian Anderson and Jason Isaacs deliver breathtaking performances, capturing love, loss, and resilience with aching honesty. 🥾🥾🥾🥾 4/5 Hiking Boots

The new Karate Kid movie isn’t groundbreaking, but it’s a fun watch. While the plot is a bit predictable, seeing storylines from earlier films cleverly tie together adds a nostalgic charm. It’s light, breezy, and delivers just enough heart to keep longtime fans smiling. 🥋🥋 2/5 Karate Kicks

Final Destination: Bloodlines’ suspenseful script and Inventive demises are among the series’ best, and the film’s fresh energy and smart callbacks breathe new life into death ⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️ 4/5 Coffins

The Wedding Banquet revival its a wonderfully frustrating farcical affair, perfectly balancing sharp humour with a tender story about the queer human experience and the longing for identity affirmation. A must see!! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈 4/5 Pride Flags

The Minecraft movie is just brilliantly funny, light hearted good fun. It’s never trying to be a serious movie, it’s just a visually beautiful, warm hearted ride that keeps you smiling from start to finish. A fantastic example of what a video game to film adaptation should be!! ⛏️⛏️⛏️⛏️ 4/5 Pickaxes

The Penguin Lessons is a heartwarming memoir that tells the incredible true story of a teacher who rescues and befriends a penguin. Set against the backdrop of the 1976 Argentinian coup, the relationship the two friends share teaches us about the healing power of kindness 🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧 5/5 Penguins

I was unsure how the ‘choose your own adventure’ vibe would translate from game to screen, but I needn’t have worried. The looping narrative unravels to gory effect, with clever twists, creature feature fun, and a satisfying payoff for horror fans. 🏚️🏚️🏚️ 3/5 Haunted Houses

Finally got to see Sinners! Not exactly what I was expecting, a film similar in story to From Dusk Til Dawn. But fantastic casting, layered story telling and the power of music all blend seamlessly to create a story that keeps you curious, from slow build to bloody ending 😈😈😈 3/5 Sins

A tense, brutal dive into war’s chaos—Warfare builds suspense masterfully, then shatters it with raw horror. Tech fails, plans crumble, and survival boils down to instinct. You’re alone, exposed, and utterly screwed. Alex Garland brings his A game once again!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4/5 Holy fucks!

Drop is a thriller that builds tension in that slow, sneaky way that feels very Hitchcockian. The film keeps you guessing and has that constant feeling of dread that keeps you gripped. Subtle, suspenseful, with a seriously great payoff as the story reveals its secrets! 📲📲📲📲 4/5 AirDrops

Death of a Unicorn is a corny, horny, creature feature that blends satire with horror to great effect! Paul Rudd and Jenna Ortega shine in this wild ride skewering corporate greed. The unicorn may be mythical, but the laughs and gore are real, just don’t expect top-tier CGI 🦄🦄🦄 3/5 Murder Horses
