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…

“Project Hail Mary” Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️✨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…

“Bugonia” Review
⭐️⭐️✨ 2.5 The trailer for this film caught my eye, so I decided to take a chance on it as a Cineworld Unlimited subscriber. It’s a mix of sci-fi and drama with a touch of light-hearted dark comedy, about CEO who’s suspected of being an alien by a couple of…

“Back To The Future” 40th Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4 This film holds many special memories for me, and I vividly recall watching it for the first time in the cinema 40 years ago. I remember attending a late-evening screening with my friend Laurie. The film immediately captivated me with its opening sequence of clocks and the intro…

TRON: Ares” Film Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4 Many years ago, as a child, I remember seeing the original Tron in the 80s. I think it was on VHS, and while I didn’t think it was as good as the reviews and hype, I still enjoyed it. The follow-up, Tron: Legacy, was released much later in…

“Superman” DC Review
As a child, the original 70s Superman captured my imagination with Christopher Reeve. The Superman I and II films are still favourites of mine to this day. When the promo and trailers started for this new film, it did capture my attention. To avoid spoilers, I booked to view the…
