“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…

“The End Of Oak Street” Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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…

“Ice Cream Man” Review
⭐️⭐️ 2 My recent streak of strong cinema viewings came to an end tonight with a film I knew going in had divided audiences. While it is certainly not the worst film I have ever sat through, it lands firmly in the “watchable for the wrong reasons” category, reminiscent of…

“Ann-Droid” – TV Review
⭐⭐⭐⭐✨ 4.5 A familiar face to fans of comedy classics like Cunk, Mandy, Motherland, and After Life, Diane Morgan co-wrote (with stand-up comedian Sarah Kendall) and stars in this new BBC One comedy. Morgan stars as Linda, an older reconditioned “Ann-Droid” humanoid robot who looks after Sue, portrayed brilliantly by…

“Enola Holmes 3” Review
Expect a lacklustre mystery in this third instalment of the Netflix series. The first two entries into this series were genuinely a lot of fun, if not slightly basic in their premise. Nothing has changed here, and this time, we get to see an older Enola Holmes (Millie Bobby Brown)…

“The Hawk” – TV Review
They call him The Hawk, he’s a Golfer, but Happy Gilmore does it way better! Will Ferrell, known for his excellent, if not occasionally misplaced roles, stars as Lonnie ‘The Hawk’ Hawkins, a washed up Golf Pro who finds himself in the midst of a professional resurgence. This is not…

“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…

“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…

“Scary Movie 6 “ Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️ 3 A weak opening gradually gives way to a more entertaining film as it progresses. Having enjoyed the first few entries in the series, I felt it was time to revisit the franchise with this latest instalment. With mixed reviews and some critics questioning whether it was even funny, I…
