It’s another example of an attempt to dredge up new superhero characters from a franchise (in this case DC) to try to reinvigorate their market. And, with the draw of Dwayne Johnson it kinda works. Review

The Menu is a delicious black comedy that delightfully skewers the pretentiousness of fine dining. Review

From our afternoon showing, in a smaller, but almost fully packed, screen, this seems to be getting a lot of attention from the “silver haired” brigade. And it deserves that success. Life is for living. Review

This is at least a good Marvel film. Even with its extensive running time, it kept me engaged (albeit a bit fidgety at times). Review

This tries for drama and comedy, but doesn’t really succeed in nailing either. It is certainly not an uplifting movie to get you in the Christmas spirit, so don’t put it on thinking it will be! Review

It passes the time, but it’s far from a 5-star classic for me... Review

It’s a quirky and interesting biopic of someone I knew nothing about. But while beautifully crafted, it doesn’t leave you feeling uplifted. Review

This documentary shows some of that but also a softer side of a man maturing with age and life’s brickbats. But this is an intriguing documentary and a recommended watch... Review

I love a film you enjoy that you had no expectations of. And this was one: a little gem of a thriller, well scripted and well cast with Rylance on top form. Review

Lame, shallow and unthrilling action horror. It’s pretty amazing that this (just) made its $12m budget back. I think they have a lot to thank Ms. Armstrong and that poster for. Review

It’s a bit of a horror-lite classic, and still manages to pack an entertaining punch. Review

What a marvellous film The Banshees of Inisherin is. Funny, poignant, intelligent, beautiful, Shakespearean and at times gut-wrenching. This is a film made by a true master of his craft. Review

I very rarely go below 2*s for a movie but this one I thought was a real stinker. What a sad way for a franchise to bow out. I really hope they ARE serious and this is the final film in the franchise. Review

As a Bond fan, and in particular as a fan of Bond music, I loved this one. The content is very enjoyable indeed. But as a definitive documentary on the music of Bond it is a missed opportunity. Review

A superb cinematic experience, I simply loved this one. Emma Mackey is utterly mesmerising and if there isn’t Oscar buzz for her for this performance then there bloody well should be! Comes with a strong recommendation. Review

One of the year’s big let-downs. How such a wonderful cast can be wasted on such a mess of a movie is truly criminal. Review

Marilyn Monroe is a fantastic subject for a great biopic. Unfortunately, this isn’t it. Yes, it has moments of artistic style that take your breath away. But it’s just so unremittingly grim that I can’t recommend it as a good one to watch. Review

The overall story has emotional depth and even more resonance with its ecological message now than it did on first release in 2009. Review

The trailer indicates that this will be a nice gentle and linear film. But it’s actually a much bumpier ride than that, as the story switchbacks through Ada’s highs and lows. But it’s a ride that’s great fun to be on. Review

It’s not novel, but I really enjoyed the execution of this, especially seeing Florence Pugh knock it out of the park. I saw where it was going fairly early on, but it was still a fun ride. Review

Unoriginal possession-style horror film, helped along by some quirky visuals and a well-crafted soundscape. As a fairly by-the-book horror film, I was well-entertained. Review

It’s the sort of bold action adventure that we haven’t seen in a while at the cinema and it is pretty entertaining. I don’t think it’s a classic, although Viola Davis once again deserves Oscar attention for the role. Review

It’s lazily written and predictable as hell. But as a star vehicle for my mate George Clooney and Julia Roberts it delivers mega-watts of charisma. Review
