Film Review
Rambo: Last Blood – Review
John Rambo is back to raise his body count even higher. But can he get that high score or does he falter on his last stand?
Good Boys – Review
‘Good Boys’ is essentially the grade school version of ‘Superbad’, complete with Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg producer credits. Do they pull it off, or does it feel like a film trying on its big brother’s clothes?
The Farewell – Review
Lulu Wang’s The Farewell delivers a nuanced and heartfelt expression of family through the best and worst life has to offer.
Weathering With You – Review
After receiving world-wide acclaim for 2016’s ‘Your Name’, director Makoto Shinkai has returned with another animated feature. Can it live up to the hype, or does it fall short of his previous film’s magic? Ben Yaxley reviews.

The Australian Dream – Review
As someone who’s probably won about 6 Brownlow Medals and 3 Grand Slams, Matthew Lind is an obvious choice to review “The Australian Dream”, one of two new documentaries chronicling the ordeals faced by Adam Goodes towards the end of his legendary AFL (I think that’s football?) career.

Danger Close: The Battle of Long Tan – Review
‘Danger Close: The Battle of Long Tan’ opts for a personal—rather than political—take on a battle in the Vietnam War. But does the telling benefit from a limited scope? Ciaran reviews.
