‘The Surfer’ – Review
Nicolas Cage, the mad king of cinema, is back – and this time, he’s riding a wave of vengeance in the sunburnt, psyche-shattering thriller The Surfer. Helmed by Irish auteur Lorcan Finnegan, and shot with blistering intensity under the sweltering Australian sun, The Surfer is a gnarly descent into masculinity, madness, and moral decay. A […]
‘Materialists’ – Review
Following her 2023 debut with the sweeping, dramatic drama Past Lives, writer and director Celine Song emerged as one of the most exciting and innovative talents in cinema. Now, two years later, she is set to return to the silver screen in collaboration with A24 and Sony Pictures. Her new project, Materialists, offers a fresh […]
‘From the World of John Wick: Ballerina’ – Review
From the World of John Wick: Ballerina is not trying to out-Wick John Wick, and that’s what, for the most part, makes it interesting. Directed by Len Wiseman (Underworld), this spin-off stretches its legs into balletic violence, operatic revenge, and neon-soaked grief, but it doesn’t always stick the landing. Pulling back from the franchise’s relentless […]
‘Lilo & Stitch’ – Review
Get ready to ride the wave of feel-good nostalgia, because Lilo & Stitch has crash-landed onto our screens with a warm heart, wacky humour, and a whole lot of Ohana. Director Dean Fleischer Camp (Marcel the Shell with Shoes On) brings fresh energy and gentle authenticity to this live-action reimagining of the beloved 2002 Disney […]
‘The Phoenician Scheme’ – Review
There’s cinema, and then there’s Wes Anderson cinema: that entirely distinct, kaleidoscopic realm where aesthetic reigns supreme and narrative quirks coalesce into emotional resonance. With The Phoenician Scheme, Anderson once again invites audiences into his candy-colored clockwork world, but this time there’s a pulse of danger underneath the pastel — a buzz of espionage, betrayal, […]
‘The Salt Path’ – Review
Some films entertain, others inspire, and then there are narrative journeys like The Salt Path that reach into your being and grab your heart with both hands, and leave it shaken with raw emotion and unfiltered truth. This is a powerful, yet quiet drama that pulls you into the lives of two people stripped of […]
‘Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning’ – Review
Hollywood megastar Tom Cruise is back as IMF agent Ethan Hunt, ready to elevate action cinema with Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning. For Hunt, this is a do-or-die mission, with the fate of the entire planet in his hands. The film promises a bold and intense cinematic experience that will leave you on the […]
Feel the shudder of pure cinematic horror in ‘The Conjuring: Last Rites’
For more than a decade now, the pure terror of the case files of paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren has thrilled and scared audiences in equal measure, spawning not only a brand new interconnected cinematic universe in The Conjuring Universe, but also re-shaping modern audiences’ engagement and expectations of the horror genre. Now its’ all […]
‘Final Destination Bloodlines’ – Review
We’ve all got a date with the Reaper, and when your number’s up, you better believe Death’s coming for you. But cheat him? Trick him? Run from him? That’s where things get messy. Final Destination Bloodlines doesn’t just acknowledge this cold truth; it grabs it by the throat and goes absolutely berserk with it in […]
