“Supergirl” Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨4.5 Is this going to outshine last year’s Superman at the box office? Maybe. No doubt it will be better than that rubbish Supergirl film adaptation from the 80s. I went in expecting an average film due to the Rotten Tomatoes score, but I actually think it’s a much better…

Christopher Reeve Superman Movies – Review
I have very fond memories of the early Superman films starring Christopher Reeve. The first two, in particular, were excellent, fun to watch, and I was lucky enough to see them both in the cinema. They had strong stories, a great supporting cast, and felt like true big blockbuster films with big…

⭐️⭐️⭐️✨3.5 Based on the novel, this film adaptation is a high-budget production that will likely perform well, especially given the level of anticipation surrounding it.

“Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die” Review
Good Luck ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨4.5 Every now and then, a film genuinely surprises you. I wasn’t sold on the title or the wacky, slightly chaotic marketing posters. The trailer did grab my interest though, and I went in expecting something a little out there. Probably average. Maybe just okay. As I was…
