Iron Lung

It's flawed narratively and far too long, but it has plenty to admire, strong visuals and Fischbach shows real promise as the creative force behind the project.

Chalamet is fantastic in this bruising drama. It's a film that will wear you down but you won't want to take your eyes off it - even if the ending is a BIG stretch

Return to Silent Hill takes one of the all-time great video game narratives and presents it like it was written in crayon and distorts what made it so engaging

I Know What You Did Last Summer
(2025)

Matt Hudson

So, so bad. Awful dialogue, paper-thin characters, weak setups, no tension or scares. The returning characters were treated with a holy reverence that felt wholly unearned, and it was all just a waste of time. Cline, Wonders, and Withers tried their best.

28 Years Later

Matt Hudson

Chaotic, cathartic, creepy, and strange, but very, very satisfying. Some choices won't work for all but they did for us. Boyle pushed the series into new territories whilst delivering one of the best horrors of 2025.

Jurassic World Rebirth
(2025)
|
Matt Hudson
|
One of us was higher on this than the other. On one hand, it felt like a return to form. On the other hand, it was just the same old story repackaged as a 'rebirth'. The leads were entertaining, and some fun dino scenes elevated the thin script.

Superman

Was it SUPER, man? Not quite but it felt right. The emotion hit hard, the action was well-shot, the characters were well-presented. We left the film feeling lifted and positive, and that will never be a bad thing. Sidenote: Krypto was the MVP.

Thunderbolts*
(2025)
|
Matt Hudson

MCU? More like MC-PUGH! Thunderbolts* feels like a step in the right direction for a franchise that has floundered. Good action, a good script, and good performances provide a fun foundation for heavier messages on grief and acceptance.

The Accountant 2

Delivering far more levity than the previous effort, The Accountant 2 offers slightly more than just MOR 'dad action'. Affleck and Bernthal have good chemistry and the film delivers in its final act. Surprisingly satisfying.

Surprisingly fun film that kids and teens will love. Full of in-game references and phrases, visually, this is an interesting experience. Momoa is a standout in a film that isn't great, but still offered a fun enough time at the movies

We were a little split on this. Yes, it's entertaining but the excess and overly-comedic tone may prove too much for some. Still, Perkins signature techniques shine through enough for this to be a winner.

Captain America: Brave New World

Whilst it has a lot to say, it never really goes beyond surface level inspection. Mackie gives his all but feels sidelined in favour of the larger MCU story. Uninspired visuals and a lacking ending don't help matters but it was entertaining nonetheless

The hunt stops here. Kraven may have finally put the Sony Spider-man adjacent films to their final resting place. So, maybe he is the greatest hunter of them all...but this is hardly a movie worthy of your time.

Full of nostalgia for those who lived through NYE at the turn of the century. Whilst the movie isn't bad, there also isn't much to rave about. Ultimately, this is a film that begs to be on in the background and probably deliver a decent enough time.

Whether you agree or not with the thoughts being discussed, the fact that Hugh Grant is the one saying it makes it extremely watchable. The film stumbles towards the end, but manages to still cross the finish line before completely collapsing on itself.

Improves on some of the styles that were the focus of criticisms from the previous "live-action" adaptation, but ultimately still fails. The songs fall flat, the story is basic, and the movie falls for all of the prequel tropes we've grown tired of.
