“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?!…

“Trigger Point” Series 4 TV Review
Series 4 of Trigger Point was an enjoyable watch and I was addicted to binging it immediately. After a slightly below-average first series a few years back, this show has gone from strength to strength, with each series getting better. The narrative delves into previous season storylines slightly while introducing…

“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…

“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…

“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…

“Mercy” Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️✨3.5 Although this film is likely ideally viewed in 3D or on an iMax screen, I watched “Mercy” on a standard 2D screen. The films presentation certainly suggests it would enhance the experience if viewed in 3D, due to usage of overlapping AI looking generated windows, segments and video throughout…

“Now You See Me, Now You Don’t” Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ 3.5 As a magician and long-time magic fan, I felt I had to see this film. I wasn’t particularly impressed with the first film years ago, and having not seen the second film, I wondered whether I would be able to follow the story without fully knowing the history.…

“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…
