The Running Man (2025) Review – Cineworld Secret Screening 17

Arnie gave us a classic in 1987, The Running Man, but Arnold Schwarzenegger never felt like the 'everyman' fighting against the big corporation for the betterment of everyone. He was fighting and running for revenge after being falsely imprisoned,...

Predator: Badlands IMAX Review

I went to see Predator: Badlands in IMAX, and although it’s not in the IMAX E.A.R., it really works on the huge screen. The scale of the visuals completely draws you in, especially during the action sequences and those...

Black Phone 2 Review: A Haunting Sequel That Deepens the Horror and Heart of the Original

Black Phone 2 brings back The Grabber in a terrifying new chapter of the hit 2021 horror film The Black Phone. This sequel raises the stakes and deepens the story of the characters we met in the first movie. What...

TRON: Ares IMAX 3D Review

On opening day, I opted for the IMAX 3D screening for TRON: Ares, and I’m glad I did. The 3D presentation genuinely adds to the overall feel and immersion of the movie, especially when the aspect ratio opens up...

URCHIN Review – Cineworld Secret Screening 16
