Super Charlie is Bright, Colourful and Fun – Review

In a cinematic smorgasbord littered with literally dozens and dozens of superhero movies, it can be hard to find something really unique that still gives levels of familiarity. Super Charlie is a fun children’s film about a baby getting...

Review: The Naked Gun is a Legacy Sequel That’s a Hilariously Worthy Return

I grew up watching Police Squad! and then later the Naked Gun movies, and for me, Leslie Nielsen was always the standout. His deadpan delivery and absolute commitment to absurdity were iconic. The Zucker, Abrahams, and Zucker team brought...

Heidi: Rescue of the Lynx, a Legitimately Sweet Movie – Review

In a world of cinema replete with remakes, re-imaginings and sequels/prequels it can feel like there is a lot of fatigue and lack of ideas in Hollywood, and the film industry as a whole. While this is a film...

Reputation Review – Low-budget Indie Film

I love indie filmmaking and makers. It’s an absolute essential part of the film world that allows the whole thing to carry on. In some cases, low-budget indie films can be genuine slices of cinematic genius. They can be...

Review: The Fantastic Four: First Steps in IMAX

Cineworld had been teasing us for a while with Bring Her Back, the new horror film from the brothers who brought us Talk To Me, so after seeing the trailer several times, I was excited and looking forward to...

F1 The Movie in IMAX Puts You in the Driver’s Seat of an F1 Car – Review

F1 is a movie that I have been dying to see, and since it was Filmed For IMAX, it was the only option for me to see the movie in that format. It was certainly a cinematic experience on...

Frankie Freako Review – It’s Gross and Cheesy

The 1980s were a really weird time for movies. I say this as an opener because it is relevant to Frankie Freako. If someone told me that this had been ripped from that decade and sent forward in time...

28 Years Later is a Rite of Passage! Review

This review of the long-awaited 28 Years Later has taken me a while to write as I've been sitting on my thoughts of this movie since seeing it at Cineworld on the 19th of June! Twenty-eight years have passed since...

Screamboat Review: A Quirky, Gory and Funny Horror

We seem to be getting more and more of these types of films these days, but when I found out that David Howard Thornton was in Screamboat as Steamboat Willie, I was intrigued. A group of New Yorkers is enjoying...
