“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.

“Fall” Blu-Ray Review
Whatever you do…don’t look down! I went into this film when it first released knowing that it was a low budget affair. Made for just $3 million, I didn’t expect much from this at all. Yet, this became another perfect example of how brilliant a film can be, when the…

“The Devil’s Mouth” Streaming Review
Is this Amazon Prime offering razor sharp, or does it lack serious bite? If there was ever a blueprint on how to make an exciting, engaging and terrifying shark horror flick, then Spielberg did it with Jaws. 50 years later, and it’s still the best shark horror ever made. Many…

“The Odyssey” Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐⭐ 5 Initially, as a major summer blockbuster, I wasn’t particularly excited about this one, and the three-hour runtime was off-putting at first.

“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…

“Tuner” Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ 4.5 This film had a limited run at our local cinema and, after seeing it promoted regularly, my wife and I were keen to give it a watch. It stars Leo Woodall as the Tuner, alongside Havana Rose Liu, with Dustin Hoffman appearing in a supporting role. A crime thriller…

“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,…

“Michael” Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 After a run of disappointing films both on TV and at the cinema, I was really looking forward to this. A musical biopic about the life of Michael Jackson. I went in with high expectations and, thoroughly enjoyed it. The film charts Michael’s life from childhood through to the…
