Film Review: Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves

This review is spoiler-free. Last night, I attended one of Cineworld's Secret Unlimited Screenings. There's something strangely exciting sitting in a cinema not having a clue what you're about to see, but there's also the element of risk that you could be about to waste an evening watching a bad film. Thankfully, Cineworld delivered, treating …

Film Review: Champions

The other day, I got to see an early screening of Bobby Farrelly's new film, Champions, starring Woody Harrelson. What did I think? When aspiring NBA coach Marcus (Harrelson) ends up on the wrong end of the law, he agrees to do 90 days community service in order to avoid jail, coaching a group of …

Film Review: Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania

Mild spoilers ahead. If you had told me when I left the cinema after seeing Avengers: Endgame that in a few years time my enthusiasm for the MCU would hit an all-time low, I would have laughed at you. But alas, after what could have been the perfect ending to an incredible saga, Marvel Studios …

Film Review: Knock at the Cabin

Mild spoilers ahead. Knock at the Cabin is the latest entry from M. Night Shyamalan, a filmmaker I find to be very hit and miss. I love some of his work, but then some of his attempts I think have been pretty poor. Nevertheless, I found the trailers for Knock at the Cabin intriguing and …

Film Review: The Fabelmans

This review is spoiler-free. There is no doubt that Steven Spielberg is one of the finest filmmakers of all-time, and by his own admission, The Fabelmans is the most personal film he has ever made, taking inspiration from his own life and being semi-autobiographic. Thankfully, Spielberg has delivered again, bringing us a moving, entertaining film …

Film Review: Missing

This review is spoiler free. From the minds that brought us the fantastic Searching in 2018 comes Missing, a standalone sequel that is more than a worthy successor. If you've seen Searching, then you'll know what to expect in terms on concept. If you haven't, then allow me to explain, Missing is a "screenlife" film, …
