Jungle Cruise – Review
Disney’s ‘Jungle Cruise’ is one of the first cabs off the rank for post-pandemic cinema. The question now is not just whether it is worth seeing, but is it worth seeing in the cinema?
Those Who Wish Me Dead – Review
“Those Who Wish Me Dead” is a compelling character drama and gripping blockbuster. The film’s inevitable moments of tense action and kinetic thrill are most impactful when sequenced next to warm scenes of sparse landscapes. While the third act burns out a little towards the end, with a messy conclusion and slight stretch of wildfire realism, Sheridan is certainly a master of his craft and in fine form once more.

Sarah Clarry often finds herself slipping into a Kong-like rage when dealing with peak-hour traffic and letting out cries of Godzilla proportions when stubbing her toe, so it makes sense she should be eager to review action flick “Godzilla vs. Kong”.

If you were looking for a fun Robert Emmerich film to excite the senses or a war film with a powerful message, ‘Midway’ provides neither, instead offering bland action pieces and and former Disney stars with questionable moustaches.

Rambo: Last Blood – Review

Angel Has Fallen – Review
The president must be in danger again, because ‘Angel Has Fallen’ has hit the big screen. Can another presidential plot add anything new to the ‘Fallen’ series, or is the action starting to run dry?
