“Resident Evil (2026)” Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐ 4 A brand-new reboot with a new cast and story. I really enjoyed this latest entry in the franchise. There’s no need to have watched any of the previous films, which this time follows a medical courier called Bryan (Austin Abrams) who needs to make an urgent delivery to…

“Bad Apples” Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ 3.5 Occasionally a low-budget and almost art-house film in presentation can show huge potential. A unique dark comedy drama with Saoirse Ronan as teacher Maria who is pushed to the limit and accidentally kidnaps a wayward pupil – Danny (played by Eddie Waller). After some unfortunate events, Maria panics…

“The Runner” Streaming Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐ 4 Not to be confused with “Runner” currently in cinemas, “The Runner” is a new Gal Gadot thriller from Amazon Prime Video. It is a straight-to-streaming feature that, while clearly backed by a decent budget, adopts a tightly framed perspective and a pacing style that leans into a high-end…

“Runner” Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️ 3 Owen Wilson in an action film? I didn’t see that coming. His character is responsible for transporting an organ for transplant, and runner/courier Alan Ritchson protects him in the face of an unexpected gang attempting to seize the precious cargo. A basic story premise I found the start slow…

“Raiders Of The Lost Ark (45th Anniversary)” Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐✨ 4.5 I was a little late to the party with this franchise, missing the original cinematic releases and ignoring the appeal for years. I eventually caught up via television and old VHS tapes. Unbelievably, the film is now 45 years old, though when it first came out, I was…

“Oasis: Don’t Look Back In Anger” Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐ 4 Like many fans, I missed out on last year’s Oasis reunion tour, with Birmingham missing out entirely outside of a BullRing pop-up shop. This concert film aims to bridge that gap, documenting the 2025 tour through live footage, backstage moments, interviews, and narration. Presented in an intentional 4:3…
