The Odyssey Review: Christopher Nolan returns after directing 2023’s critical and financial juggernaut, Oppenheimer, this time adapting Homer’s legendary epic, The Odyssey.

Following the fall of Troy, the legendary warrior Odyss...

Scary Movie Review
The Scary Movie franchise returns to cinemas after 10+ years, hoping to recapture the success that made the original films parody classics.

Mortal Kombat II Review
Mortal Kombat 2 arrives with all the raw ingredients needed for a knockout: a beloved IP, a returning director in Simon McQuoid (Mortal Kombat), and a studio clearly willing to lean into the franchise’s trademark brutality. As a fantasy action film rooted in one of gaming’s most iconic series, it promises high-stakes battles, visceral spectacle, and a roster of fan-favourite characters. On paper, ...

The film follows Ryland ...
How to Make a Killing Review
How to Make a Killing (directed by John Patton Ford) is hoping to bump off the rest of the box office contenders this week in cinemas. The film promises audiences a dark comedy thriller that somehow has you rooting for a morally questionable killer. Ideally, StudioCanal and Blueprint Pictures have delivered us something closer to a comedic version of American Psycho, rather than a forgettable movi...
Anaconda Review
Anaconda (2025) arrives in cinemas this week, carrying with it the considerable baggage of its name. For many viewers, the title reminds them of the late-1990s creature feature – a film (not so fondly) remembered for its camp tone and dreadful narrative. Sony Pictures is hoping to revive this 30 year old franchise with a tonal 180 and instead embrace the absurd premise to make audiences laug...
