'Bitter Desire' Review: A Slow-Burn Thriller with a Venomous Pulse
Bitter Desire isn’t trying to reinvent the thriller. This isn’t a movie that chases shock value; it’s a nice indie that wants to entertain its audience. With a runtime of an hour and ten, this is a film you can sit back and relax to, have on in the background when friends are round, or when you’re doing chores. It's a slow, but fun ride.

It was always going to be an ask to adapt a messy, rushed, second act of a stage musical into a film that feels full and coherent, and Jon M Chu clearly struggles here and Wicked: For Good suffers not being able to reach the lofty heights of the first part.

'Keeper' Review: A Haunting That Never Fully Takes Hold
Keeper is a disappointing new offering from Perkins, especially given how solid both his prior two outings are. Stylistically and visually the film does excel throughout, the idea behind the reveal is interesting and Maslany is locked in.

'Now You See Me: Now You Don't' Review: A Passing of the Torch That Mostly Lands the Trick
Now You See Me: Now You Don’t is a stylish, spirited return to a franchise that thrives on charm and misdirection. It doesn’t reinvent the formula, and its attempt to balance old and new occasionally leaves the story unfocused, but it delivers enough spectacle and personality to justify its comeback.

'Sisu: Road to Revenge' Review: A Gloriously Gory & Unapologetically Silly One-man-army Action Sequel
Sisu: Road to Revenge is a film that knows exactly what it is and runs with it to absurd levels. Gloriously over-the-top, gleefully gory and pushing the boundaries of how silly things can get.

'Humans in the Loop' Review: A Poetic Study of Work, Identity, and AI in a Rapidly Changing World
Humans in the Loop is a thoughtful, beautifully restrained character study that uses the language of technology to explore something far more personal. It’s a film about work, identity, and the invisible threads connecting people to systems far bigger than themselves. Subtle, intimate, and thematically rich, it lingers long after the credits roll.

'The Running Man' (2025) Review: Edgar Wright Revamps a Stephen King Classic
Run, don’t walk, to see the latest Stephen King adaptation on the big screen. While it may fall ever so slightly short of Wright’s sharp, satirical best, The Running Man remains one of the action highlights of 2025, with plenty to say about modern society and the dark hole we risk tumbling down. Much like Squid Game, The Hunger Games, and even The Long Walk, the concept of entertainment-as-control should serve as a stark warning to us all.
