Rye Lane Review

This is a film that wasn’t really on my radar until recently. I’d heard a few things about it from festivals but it wasn’t until the trailers started popping up a few weeks ago that I was fully aware of it. When the opportunity came to go to an advanced screening with my Cineworld Unlimited…

Dungeons and Dragons: Honour Among Thieves Review

I didn’t think that this is a review I’d be writing this early. Given that it’s not on general release until the end of the month I thought I’d have to wait until then. However, Cineworld has a trend of holding secret screenings and the most recent one was for this film. Now I have…

Creed 3 Review

The Rocky series is one that has never really been a big thing for me, I watched the films out of order and I never got as engaged with them as other people, even though the films were mostly solid. The main film in the series that I’ve genuinely loved was the first Creed film.…

Ant Man and the Wasp: Quantumania Review

I’ve made it no secret that, in the past, I’ve been a fan of the MCU for years. That said, the most recent era of it has been a mixed bag. I’ve enjoyed works like WandaVision, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and Ms Marvel, but you can tell that scheduling issues caused by COVID and issues…

Marcel the Shell with Shoes On Review

This is a film where the history behind it is not something I was familiar with. When the first trailer came out, I was intrigued by it, but after looking into it I saw that there were short films that preceded it, but which I wasn’t familiar with. After seeing the trailer and hearing the…

Puss in Boots: The Last Wish Review

The Shrek series has always been a bit of a mixed bag for me. I really like the first two films, but Shrek The Third is a film I cannot stand whilst Shrek Forever After and the first Puss in Boots are just okay. As such, I didn’t really have any expectations for Puss in…

Babylon Review

Damien Chazelle is one of those directors who I haven’t really been able to pin down my opinion on. Whiplash, is a film I absolutely loved, but I was a bit more comparatively lukewarm on La La Land and First Man. With Babylon, Chazelle has made his most excessive and wild film, feeling a bit…

Tár Review

Since we’re now in the midst of Oscar season, more of the high profile films are starting to get released in the UK. In this awards season, there are a few categories where there are multiple contenders, with Best Actress, it is clearly Cate Blanchett’s to lose. As such, I was interested to see the…

Empire of Light Review

So for the first film I’ve seen in the cinema this year I’ve taken advantage of the advanced screenings offered by Cineworld to see Empire of Light, the new film from Sam Mendes. I find Mendes to be a bit of a hit or miss director. For every great film of his like Skyfall or…
