Trap Trap is the latest film from director M. Night Shyamalan, which built up a decent following before release due to its trailer, which gives away one of the major hooks of the film. Since that hook was in the trailer, I will be detailing that in the plot summary, but for the purposes of…

“A QUIET PLACE: DAY ONE” A Quiet Place: Day One is, as implied, a prequel movie set on the first day of the invasion from the movie A Quiet Place. It centres around a terminal cancer patient, Samira (played by Lupita Nyong’o), who wants to make a trip into New York city to get some…

“THE BIKERIDERS” The Bikeriders is a film that is very much a passion project from creator Jack Nichols, and is based on a book by Danny Lyon, where he interviewed and took photos of several biker gangs in Illinois. The story takes place between the late 1950’s and the early 1970’s. It centres around the…

“INSIDE OUT 2” Inside Out 2 is the sequel to Pixar’s 2015 movie, Inside Out- which I’m assuming most people reading this review have read since it made a ton of money in the box office at the time. In case you don’t want to go back and read my review for the previous film,…

“UNDER PARIS” Under Paris is a French production that has gone straight to Netflix in the UK and other countries, and I believe it got a short cinema run in France. I’d heard about this film but I hadn’t paid much attention to it- I have to be honest, despite the fact that I’m a…

“FURIOSA: A MAD MAX SAGA” Furiosa has been kicking around in development since Mad Max: Fury Road came out in 2015. The project has been on the constant move, considering it was unclear whether Charlize Theron was going to reprise her role. Finally, the film is out, with Anya Taylor-Joy cast in the titular role,…

“KINGDOM OF THE PLANET OF THE APES” Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is now the fourth movie in the rebooted Planet of the Apes series, which started with the previous films of Rise, Dawn, and War of the Planet of the Apes. Personally, I thought all of those films were excellent- I actually…

“THE FALL GUY” This movie is based off a TV series that ran from 1981 to 1986 that was about a movie stuntman who moonlighted as a bounty hunter when work dried up. This new adaptation comes to us from David Leitch, a producer on films like Hobbs & Shaw, and he also directed the…

“SPY X FAMILY: CODE WHITE” I’m under the assumption that most people reading this are familiar with the Spy X Family anime, and if you’re not, it comes highly recommended. It was one of my favourite anime’s of the year, it came out and I got so addicted to it that it was one of…

“KUNG-FU PANDA 4” Kung-Fu Panda 4 is the fourth entry in the series and this time has a new direction from Mike Mitchell, who previously directed Shrek: Forever After, alongside Stephanie Stein in her feature-length debut, having previously directed for the Netflix She-Ra series. This is the fourth entry, but it has so far been…

“GHOSTBUSTERS: FROZEN EMPIRE” Frozen Empire is the sequel to Ghostbusters: Afterlife, and if you’ve seen that movie, you’ll want to check this one out. I personally liked Afterlife, and even though it wasn’t an amazing movie, I thought that it had some good ideas, it’s also one of the few times that using CGI to…

“DRIVE AWAY DOLLS” Drive Away Dolls is the first solo theatre film released by Ethan Cohen of the Cohen Brothers, and he co-wrote the screenplay with his wife. The story takes place in 1999 and is centred around two women, Jamie (Margaret Qualley) and Marian (Geraldine Viswanathan), the former of whom is running away from…

“IMAGINARY” Imaginary is the latest horror film from Blumhouse Productions, and they’ve brought in the director of Truth or Dare for this one, so in theory you know not to go in with high expectations. Blumhouse are starting to dominate the genre, so I’ve become used to seeing their name on most horror films. They’ve…

“WICKED LITTLE LETTERS” ‘Wicked Little Letters’ is directed by Thea Sharrock, who previously directed the film ‘Me Before You’, which I personally didn’t like for several reasons. But this film caught my attention for its excellent cast and the fact that it was based on a story that was largely lost to history- a story…

“MADAME WEB” Sony has been hoping to keep the license to Spider-Man films by creating films centred around the side characters of the franchise. We’ve previously had the two Venom movies and Morbius, showcasing varied success in their departments. I personally can’t stand any of the movies, I think the Venom movies aren’t very good…

“THE IRON CLAW” The Iron Claw is a movie written and directed by Sean Durkin. It is a very timely movie- the film came out in America several weeks ago and failed to be a large part of the awards season buzz, but its UK release does coincide with another event that could enhance the…

I haven’t done one of these since 2019, and that is mainly because of the COVID lockdowns resulting in cinema shutdowns, I hadn’t seen enough movies from 2019-2021 to really justify it, since it really impacted the frequency that I could go to the cinema. 2023, on the other hand, while I had a few…

“GODZILLA MINUS ONE” Godzilla Minus One is not part of the ongoing Monster Universe that was crossed over with the Kong movies. This is a new movie from Toho Studios and could be considered a reboot for the series to a certain extent. As far as I’m aware, that hasn’t been confirmed yet. We can…
