“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…

“Practical Magic 2” Review
Kidman and Bullock return for yet more magical shenanigans. But is it worth your time and money? In 1998 Practical Magic released to the world, and it was a cinematic flop. Over the years, it’s gained a cult following, and with that in mind, Kidman and Bullock are back as…

“The Gentlemen” Season 2 Review
Does Guy Ritchie’s Netflix crime drama live up to expectations? Just over two and a half years after the first season, The Gentlemen Season Two hit Netflix on the 3rd of September. It’s taken me this long to drudge my way through this. You can probably guess what’s coming next?!…

“Spa Weekend” Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️ 3 Not a film that was on my watch list, as I am not the true demographic. I was one of only a few male viewers in the cinema, with most of the audience being women of a certain age. How would my views compare to my wife’s, and…

“Harry Potter And The Philosopher’s Stone” 25th Anniversary Review

“Tony” Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ 3.5 I discovered this film with no prior knowledge, after watching a short trailer. It’s based on chef Anthony Bourdain’s kitchen memoirs and follows his coming-of-age journey. Dominic Sessa stars as an immature and foolish young man struggling to convince himself and others he’s a writer despite his lack…

“Coyote Vs. Acme” Review
⭐⭐⭐✨ 3.5 This new animated live-action film features all our favourite Looney Tunes characters. Is it aimed just at children or adults reminiscing? This one flew under the radar for me, and the first I knew of it was when I saw an online review this week. Spotting a convenient…

“Sunny Dancer” Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐✨ 4.5 British coming-of-age comedy-drama that follows 17-year-old cancer survivor Ivy (played by Bella Ramsey). Tackling a subject that will undoubtedly hit close to home for many, the film blends the emotional realities of cancer recovery with the unique trials of teenage life. The story captures Ivy’s initial resistance and…

“Practical Magic” Review
⭐️⭐️✨ 2.5 With Practical Magic 2 on the horizon, my local cinema screened the original 1998 film this weekend. Starring Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock, the film feels more like a Bullock vehicle in my opinion, supported brilliantly by Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest as the eccentric aunts to Sandra…

⭐️⭐️⭐️ 3 Anne Hathaway Shines in David Robert Mitchell’s Sci-Fi Dinosaur Survival Film Anne Hathaway anchors yet another major release, delivering a standout performance that elevates a modest sci-fi survival feature. Directed by David Robert Mitchell and produced by Bad Robot, this late-summer entry lands as one of the final…
