“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)…

“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…

“Nuremberg ” Film Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ 4.5 This was a slightly unusual choice for me and not something I’d normally pay to see in cinemas. However, the trailer grabbed my interest, especially Russell Crowe’s captivating performance in this Sky Original film. This high-budget presentation documents the historic Nuremberg trials, based on real life events after…
