THE TITAN
Avatar-lite Netflix release The Titan is one you can miss. Why Sam Worthington, scheduled for not one, not two, not three, but FOUR sequels to the Fern Gully remake would headline yet another languid jaunt […]
BLOCKERS
Blockers is a strange one. An avowedly dumb movie that’s actually a lot smarter than it will have you believe, packs a frightfully regressive plot unashamed to bandy about it’s woke credentials. If this sounds […]

Where we fight about the biggest wave of nostalgia to hit cinema screens, that rare sequel that’s leaps beyond the original and whether John Cena is the next big thing in comedy – […]
PACIFIC RIM: UPRISING
Sequels are sparingly better than their precursors. Pacific Rim: Uprising had a very low bar, and to the film’s credit it comfortably clears it. Does this make Uprising a great film, or at all memorable? […]
