'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.
