Put your fears on the shelves viewers, with Toy Story 4 Pixar has delivered a sequel that is simply essential. Review

Some of the alien designs are pretty neat, as are a few of the sic-fi-infused settings, while Danny Elfman and Chris Bacon’s score is pretty great, as it captures adventurous spirit, emotional depth and fun re-jazzed takes on the established franchise riffs. It’s just a shame the actual narrative cannot measure up to the audio. Review

Keanu Reeves is back with a vengeance in this stone cold action classic that certifies the Wick series as a gift to action cinema. Review

This gender flipped remake of a remake adds nothing to the story. Review

It would feel a bit like faint praise calling Pokémon Detective Pikachu the best video game movie yet (it is), so perhaps a better endorsement is that this is a surefire blast for Pokémon fans and a film also ready to win over non-fans or newcomers with its hilarious script and genuine warmth. Review
