“Fuze” Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️4 While not a heavily promoted release, this is absolutely worth your time. A Sky Original with a cinema run, it lands somewhere between a big-budget TV movie and a full cinematic experience, but don’t let that put you off. After sitting through the fairly average new Mario film earlier…

“Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die” Review
Good Luck ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨4.5 Every now and then, a film genuinely surprises you. I wasn’t sold on the title or the wacky, slightly chaotic marketing posters. The trailer did grab my interest though, and I went in expecting something a little out there. Probably average. Maybe just okay. As I was…

“Crime 101” Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 My wife and I watched this on a date night. In truth, it wasn’t a film I was particularly eager to see, but I was curious. Would it be entertaining? While the pacing and story are slow to get going, the film gradually builds a solid story foundation…

“Send Help” Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️✨3.5 While I was expecting a more full-on horror or action adventure, this film is actually much closer to a dark comedy, with just touches of thriller and light horror. Rachel McAdams and Dylan O’Brien play corporate colleagues Linda and Bradley. After Bradley overlooks Linda for a promised promotion, the…

“Shelter” Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨4.5 This was a must see film for me. As a fan of Jason Statham, I’ve been really looking forward to this one. His films are always enjoyable to watch and I’ve seen most of his action films. Statham maintains his signature style but delivers a very enjoyable performance. This…

“Mercy” Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️✨3.5 Although this film is likely ideally viewed in 3D or on an iMax screen, I watched “Mercy” on a standard 2D screen. The films presentation certainly suggests it would enhance the experience if viewed in 3D, due to usage of overlapping AI looking generated windows, segments and video throughout…

“Anaconda” Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4 This film leans more towards a comedic reimagining of the classic 90s horror movie than a remake. Promotional footage and the star power of Paul Rudd and Jack Black suggested it would be funny and worth watching. I was in the mood for a light-hearted take on the…

“Avatar: Fire And Ash” Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4 I initially struggled to get into the first film but the latest trailer grabbed my interest for this third instalment. Given the series’ popularity, I decided to watch it after streaming the first two films on Disney Plus. Although it’s an incredibly long film, it’s a fast-paced adventure…

“Running Man” Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ 3.5 Years ago, I watched the original Arnold Schwarzenegger film “The Running Man”, based on Stephen King’s novel. At the time, I thought it was average at best and didn’t rate it highly. However, the trailer for the remake looked entertaining so I decided to see if this would…

“Predator Badlands” Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ 4.5 I’m a big fan of the Alien films but I’m a bit less familiar with the Predator franchise. I saw the original film years ago and of course I’ve seen the Alien vs Predator films more recently. Having less familiarity with the Predator story, I was optimistic after…
