'Jack Ryan: Ghost War' Review: Jack Ryan's Return to Film is Bland and Forgettable Streaming Sludge
Jack Ryan: Ghost War is a very faithful follow-up “Film” to the Amazon Prime series. Of which I mean it's a generic spy thriller that is absolutely nothing you haven't seen done better hundreds of times.

'Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu' Review: Solid jump to the Big-Screen for Mando and Grogu
A film that remembers why the franchise belonged in cinemas in the first place and makes a genuine and largely successful case for its continued presence there.

'Remarkably Bright Creatures' Review: Moving, Sweet and Genuinely Charming Netflix Release
A moving, sweet and genuinely charming piece of work that deserved considerably better than being quietly deposited on Netflix with minimal fanfare.

'Malcolm in the Middle: Life's Still Unfair' Review: One of the Better Streaming-Era Nostalgia Revivals
Malcolm in the Middle: Life's Still Unfair is far better than it had any real right to be and a genuine benchmark for how these revivals should be approached.

'Fuze' Review: A Serviceable Heist Thriller That Loses Momentum by the Finale
Fuze is a disposable, but watchable heist-thriller that starts strong and fizzles out by the end. A fine and acceptable British thriller, just not one that stands out or leaves a lasting impression.

'Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice' Review: A High-Concept Genre Mash-up That Delivers an Absolute Blast
Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice is a high-concept action-comedy-sci-fi-romance that juggles all its genres for a blast of a surprisingly coherent and fresh take on the “One Crazy Night” sub-genre.

'Louis Theroux: Inside the Manosphere' Review : Theroux Enters the “Manosphere” With Expectedly Terrifying and Funny Results
A scathing hit-piece on a disgusting online culture fuelled by outrage, vapidness and a desperate grab for wealth and fame over any morals as Theroux allows these people to freely talk and dig themselves into deeper contradictory holes.

'Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man' Review: A Fitting, but Familiar Televisual Send-off For Thomas Shelby
Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man is a stylish, silly and camp send-off for Thomas Shelby that still has Murphy putting in great work with a fun supporting cast. But while it's a conclusive ending, it rarely feels more than an extended episode of the show than it does a real film.

'Hoppers' Review: A Solid Pixar Outing That Makes For One of Their Best in Years
a confident, colourful original with big ideas, inventive imagery and enough warmth to stick the landing. After a few years of “fine,” this felt like a genuine step back in the right direction.

'The Bluff' Review: A Wick-lit Pirate Action-thriller That Fails to Leave a Lasting Impression
The Bluff is a competently made pirate action-thriller that lands as you would expect for a better streaming original but there is very little here to make it stand out as anything more than a fun, and instantly forgotten watch.

'Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die' Review: Gore Verbinski is Back in a Blast of Anti-AI Sci-fi Comedy
Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die is a fantastic return for Gore Verbinski. Packed with fun ideas, enjoyable characters and an original take on the time travel formula with a venomously anti-AI approach that's refreshingly blunt and satirical in all the best ways.

'Cold Storage' Review: A Limp and Thoroughly Boring Horror-comedy That Wastes a Fun Premise
Cold Storage is derivative, tonally confused, visually cheap and missing the practical-effects creativity that could have made it a fun viral horror-comedy.

'Wasteman' Review: A Brutally Authentic, Harrowing and Gripping Portrayal of the British Prison System
Wasteman is a brutally grounded, intense and often uncomfortable British prison drama that lands with constant unease.

'The Testament of Ann Lee' Review: Amanda Seyfried Gives Her All in This Visual Feast of an Historical Musical
The Testament of Ann Lee is a spellbinding, exhausting, and singular experience anchored by a career-best performance from Amanda Seyfried, and one of the most visually and musically distinctive films of the year.

'The Voice of Hind Rajab' Review: A Harrowing, Powerful and Hard to Watch Docudrama
The Voice of Hind Rajab is a harrowing, deeply upsetting experience, and one of the most unforgettable films of the year. It’s not an easy watch, nor should it be.

'Crime 101' Review: A Solid and Well-made, But Derivative Homage to Michael Mann’s Crime Classics
Crime 101 is highly derivative of many classic crime-thrillers (especially Michael Mann’s work), but the vintage vibe, slow-pacing and character-focused approach makes for a better than expected heist-thriller.

'Looney Tunes: The Day the Earth Blew Up' Review: A Charming Theatrical Return for the Endearing Looneys
Looney Tunes: The Day the Earth Blew Up is a very easy film to like. It’s funny, visually delightful with its vibrant 2D animation, and made with a clear affection for these characters and their legacy.

'Greenland 2: Migration' Review: A Generic, but Entertaining Apocalyptic-Survival Thriller
Greenland 2: Migration is the definition of a diminishing-returns sequel. It doesn’t disgrace the original, but it also doesn’t justify its own existence beyond being another sturdy Gerard Butler vehicle to be dumped in January.
