Cinema Snacks – Are They Too Expensive?
Do you buy your snacks at the cinema, or sneak them in from your local shop? While many people don’t realise it, the majority of major UK cinema chains actually allow you to bring your own food, provided it isn’t hot or smelly. Even knowing these rules, I still tend…

Is It Time to Bring Back the Cinema Intermission?
With the new Christopher Nolan film The Odyssey clocking in at nearly three hours, and others like Avatar: Fire and Ice going well over that mark, the debate is back: should longer films have an intermission? Even the recent Project Hail Mary was a stretch at around 156 minutes and…

“Moana (Live-Action)” Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ 4.5 Having not seen the original animated version, I was able to go into this film with a completely fresh perspective, free from comparisons. I’m judging it purely on its own merits as a live-action experience. While these Disney remakes always seem to spark debate, it makes me wonder…

“Minions & Monsters” Review
I waited a few days after release to see this one. If I’m honest, a lot of animated films this year have been a bit of a letdown.

“Jackass: Best And Last” Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️ 3 Watching this latest Jackass installment was a definitive “I feel old” moment. What started as a chaotic TV show back in 2000 ran for just three series before turning into a film franchise. This marks the sixth movie, and it is supposedly the last. While it’s still funny and…

“Obsession” Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4 Released while I was away on holiday some weeks ago, I finally managed to grab some popcorn, get comfy, and catch up on this one. It has already proved a hit with audiences, easily making its budget back and it deserves the praise received. This is a horror film…

“Supergirl” Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨4.5 Is this going to outshine last year’s Superman at the box office? Maybe. No doubt it will be better than that rubbish Supergirl film adaptation from the 80s. I went in expecting an average film due to the Rotten Tomatoes score, but I actually think it’s a much better…

“Prisoner” TV Review
Despite Sky being a popular platform, let’s be honest, its (Sky) original productions have not always been the strongest. Many have looked a little cheap, with corners seemingly cut during production to keep budgets down. However, Sky appears to have reduced the number of Originals it commissions and, as a…

“Toy Story 5” Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4 It’s hard to believe that the first Toy Story film was released back in 1995. More than three decades later, and after many of us thought the franchise had already reached its conclusion on more than one occasion, we now find ourselves with Toy Story 5. Running at a…
