'The Death of Robin Hood' Review: A Cold, Edgy and Try-hard Deconstruction of the Legend
The Death of Robin Hood is a joyless, dull and often laughably edgy take on Robin Hood, one that often dips into what feels like a parody.

'Mayday' Review: A Charming and Fun Buddy-Comedy Throwback on Apple TV
A solid throwback buddy action-comedy carried by Branagh’s excellent work, some sharp action and enough genuine chemistry to overcome its more formulaic instincts and Reynolds’ usual bag of tricks.

'The Runner' Review: A Silly But Efficient Real-Time Thriller
The Runner is exactly what it appears to be: a silly, efficient, low-ambition real-time thriller that knows what it is, and quite literally, runs with it.

'One Night Only' Review: A Charming Rom-Com Makes the Most of One Crazy Night
One Night Only doesn't always flesh out its absurd premise of “The Purge with sex” the best it can, but it does make way for a charming, funny and very easy watching rom-com. Monica Barbaro and Callum Turner make for incredibly likeable leads with great chemistry in a one crazy night story that mostly lands.

'Spa Weekend' Review: A Tame and Formulaic Comedy That Feels Stuck in the Past
A few funny moments and a brief run-time keep Spa Weekend from being a total wash, but it's mostly just a tame, formulaic and deeply forgettable comedy.

'The Dog Stars' Review: One Post Apocalyptic Cliché After Another
Unfortunately, The Dog Stars does so little to actually stand out against so many other post-apocalyptic films, as it hits every beat you would expect with little to no surprises.

'Sunny Dancer' Review: A Fresh and Unique Spin on the Coming-of-Age Genre
Sunny Dancer is a sunny delight. A very strong outing from George Jaques, giving a unique and fresh spin on the coming-of-age genre in a warm, funny and gut-punching crowd-pleaser.

'Tony' Review: A Charming, Sweet and Funny Look at an Early Anthony Bourdain That Avoids Biopic Clichés
Tony manages to be a really nice and insightful look at a brief period in Anthony Bourdain's life, failing to fall into biopic tropes and clichés, instead feeling like a character-focused hangout film.

'Soulm8te' Review: A Mediocre Erotic-thriller That Expands the M3GAN Universe
Soulm8te is a generic and predictable evil android slasher made of parts you've seen before with no fresh new angles. Outside of one or two moments, just very forgettable.

'Evil Dead Burn' Review: A Gory and Mean-Spirited Evil Dead Entry You've Seen Before
Evil Dead Burn is the weakest of the franchise while still containing enough of what makes the series worthwhile to frustrate rather than disappoint entirely. Vaniček is clearly a capable filmmaker and there is genuine craft here alongside the genuine misses.

'Toy Story 5' Review: A Heartfelt Return, But it Might Be Time to Leave the Toys in the Box
Toy Story 5 is another funny, well animated and genuinely heartfelt entry that simply cannot match the heights of what came before it and weighed down by a slightly dated central message.

'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.

'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.
