Bob Marley graces the big screen once again in this serviceable, if uninspired, biopic. Review
A musical update on the classic tale hits all the right notes. Review
This updated adaptation of the classic comedy coasts by on love of the first enjoyably enough, and adds a couple of funny jokes, but never recaptures the magic. Review
Eric Bana continues to be magnetic as Aaron Falk, but Force of Nature suffers under the weight of its source material. Review
Boy Swallows Universe is set to become an enduring phenom on Netflix, thanks to the strength of its performances and a wonderfully grounded, funny, traumatic and surprising story. Review
Funny and carried by the charm and chemistry between the two leads, Anyone But You mixes genuine laughs with beautiful Sydney scenery. Review
Sapped of all the fun, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is a barely coherent hodgepodge of tired film tropes and plot points, jumbled together lazily with some of the worst CGI of the year. Review
Baffling creative decisions, some truly poor CGI, and an array of deeply flawed Italian accents characterize what should have been a film about the man who invented Ferrari. Review
There’s something quite lovely about this film, irrespective of how cliche it feels. They don’t make movies like this anymore - a sort of Dead Poets Society on water. Review
Two grouchy characters, separated by age and class divides, form a gorgeous bond over a boarding school Christmas despite their uniquely disparate personalities, in this feel good, heartwarming tale. Review
Sumptuous and expansive, Ridley Scott’s Napoleon is a gorgeously told epic, but struggles to truly capture the famed Emperor and his exploits, despite its expansive runtime. Perhaps Napoleon simply did too much to be reduced into a 2 and a half hour film? Review
Trolls: Band Together is like an on-screen radio mashup; hit after hit, perfectly forgettable, but perfectly enjoyable for 90 minutes. Review
The Marvels attempts to bring together three beloved Marvel characters, Carol Danvers, Monica Rambeau, and Kamala Khan, in what could have been an exciting adventure. However, the film falls short of its potential due to a cluttered narrative and lackluster visual effects. Review
A haunting, gorgeous and heartbreaking meditation on love, loss and grief, all told through a fantastical lens where you never quite know what is set to come next. Review
Stylish and suitably disorientating, if somewhat predictable, this low budget high concept feature makes the most of what it’s got. Review
While it never quite reaches the heights of Spiderverse, TMNT cements the fact that we’re living in a golden age of superhero animation. Review
The Equalizer 3 does feel like a little bit of a low rent version of the original, but the savagery of the violence and the gorgeous Italian setting go a long way to skipping over the budgetary constraints. Review
A whip smart, hilarious piece that sends up the theater community in a way that only one who loves it dearly ever could. Review
Haunted Mansion feels like a lovely throwback to the family fun Disney films of old. Review
Margot Robbie is fantastic as Barbie, and the film features a winning turn from Ryan Gosling, but it is an overly crowded film that loses its message in a muddled third act that never lives up to its potential. Review
Horrific CGI, a plot that makes little sense, and a deeply unsatisfying conclusion, all delivered only a couple of weeks after one of the greatest superhero movies of all time, makes for another disappointing DC adventure. Review
Elemental has a pretty poor mcguffin, and a bare bones message delivered without nuance, but the visuals and the heartwarming romance make this one to watch. Review
This photo-realistic fantasy loses much of the vibrancy, life and whimsy of the animated version. Review
