“A HAUNTING IN VENICE” A Haunting in Venice is the now third Agatha Christie Poirot adaptation that Kenneth Branagh has made. After directing two of Christie’s more well-known novels, he has now turned his attention to the lesser-known story, ‘Hallowe’en Party’. He has released it just in time for Halloween and even given it a…

“COBWEB” Cobweb is directed by Samuel Bodin and written by Chris Thomas Devlin. It’s a horror movie that has taken a bit longer to come out in the UK compared the US, for some reason in the US they decided to release it on the same weekend as Barbie and Oppenheimer- which obviously meant that…

Andy comes into this movie with two significant problems: 1. Its star has…

“SPIDER-MAN: ACROSS THE SPIDERVERSE” Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse was one of my favourite Spider-man movies, and while my earlier review wasn’t as complimentary to it as I should have been, a rewatch definitely made me appreciate the film a lot more. This sequel, Across the Spiderverse, brings back writers Lord and Miller along with new…

“THE LITTLE MERMAID (2023)” The latest Disney live-action remake, this time we have Rob Marshall in to direct it, with his previous credits being Chicago and weirdly the fourth Pirates of the Caribbean movie.
