“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…

“Finding Emily” Review
⭐️⭐️⭐✨ 3.5 Not a film I would usually choose to see, but with it being a bank holiday and one my wife wanted to watch, I decided to give it a chance. On such a hot day, the cinema air conditioning alone felt like a good enough reason to go. It…

“The Devil Wears Prada 2” Review
⭐️⭐️⭐⭐⭐ 5 I hadn’t seen the original film and because of all the hype surrounding this follow-up, I recently watched it for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed it. Excellent characters, strong performances and a genuinely engaging story. But could a sequel really be as good? It absolutely could. In fact,…

“The Sheep Detectives” Review
⭐️⭐️⭐⭐✨ 4.5 A children’s film that is beautifully written, story-driven and backed by a budget that truly brings it to life. I expected this British-made film to be enjoyable, but I completely underestimated just how good it would be. Emma Thompson and Hugh Jackman both star, but it is Nicholas Braun…

“Rooster” – TV Review
I love a good comedy and strangely, we don’t tend to get that many comedies these days from the US. Bucking the trend is “Rooster” from HBO Max. Starring Steve Carell as a college lecturer (Greg Russo) working on a campus with his daughter. A 10 episode series with a…

“Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” 40th Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨4.5 It’s hard to believe this film is now 40 years old. I first saw it in the cinema in 1986 and I have watched it countless times since, so the chance to experience it again on the big screen was too good to pass up. In 1986 when I…

“Ready Or Not 2” Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️4 When I first saw the trailer, I wasn’t particularly interested, although seeing Sarah Michelle Gellar did grab my attention as a big-name addition. After a fair bit of promotion, I decided to stream the first film, which I thought was… okay. Nothing special, but watchable. So, with a quiet…

“Mothers Pride” Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️4 If you’re in the mood for a British comedy that is more gently amusing than laugh-out-loud funny, this one will likely fit the bill. Martin Clunes stars as pub landlord Mick, who is trying to keep his struggling village pub afloat with the help of his family and the…

“How To Make A Killing” Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️✨3.5 I do like a black comedy and this would normally be right up my street. Though, to be fair, this was more my wife’s pick than mine. Starring Glen Powell, who recently appeared in The Running Man, the film was released on 13th March and we caught it as an advance…

“Cold Storage” Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️3 Virus and zombie thriller type films can be a lot of fun, especially when there is a bit of comedy mixed in. The real challenge is doing something fresh in a genre that feels like it has been done every which way. The cast here is certainly strong, with…
