“Avengers: Endgame Encore” Review
Is it worth revisiting this 2019 tentpole epic forwhat this version offers? I’m not ashamed to admit it…I’m a huge Marvel fan. Yes, superhero fatigue has definitely been a thing, and still is to a degree. In 2019, this was far from the case and I eagerly anticipated this final…

“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…

“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.

“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…

“Terminator 2: Judgement Day” 35 Year Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐✨ 4.5 A classic film that was groundbreaking upon its original release, prompting the question: how does it hold up 35 years later? I remember watching this 35 years ago in a packed cinema. I had watched the original on VHS at a mate’s house and went to see the…

“The Death of Robin Hood” Review

“Trigger Point” Series 4 TV Review
Series 4 of Trigger Point was an enjoyable watch and I was addicted to binging it immediately. After a slightly below-average first series a few years back, this show has gone from strength to strength, with each series getting better. The narrative delves into previous season storylines slightly while introducing…

“The Dog Stars” Review
Can Ridley Scott make a comeback in this post apocalyptic thriller? Ridley Scott has been responsible for helming such greats as Blade Runner, Alien and Gladiator among many others. Over recent years, his work has seen a dramatic downturn in quality and I’m not too sure his career will ever…
