  • American Dreamer (2022)
    Review preview for American Dreamer

    It doesn’t quite hit the mark, but that’s not to say that it isn’t a pleasant way to while away an hour and a half.

  • The Croods: A New Age (2020)
    Review preview for The Croods: A New Age

    Like its predecessor, this film relies heavily on fast-firing jokes with easy punchlines. Supported by the quirky animation, these are a lot of fun, but older viewers may quickly find themselves feeling worn out.

    Tony Sullivan · 4 out of 5
    The Pevensie kids return to Narnia to thwart an evil king.
  • Death At A Funeral (2007)
    Review preview for Death At A Funeral

    For farce to work well, the plotting needs to be watertight, whereas here the sheer excess of characters fails entirely to cover up this film's flimsy underpinnings.

    Anton Bitel · 2 out of 5
    Funeral farce.

    Review preview for Elf

    The apocalypse proves a blessing in disguise for one lucky recluse – until a second survivor arrives with the threat of companionship.

    The world's most famous dog has an adventure in wartime Britain.
  • Penelope (2006)
    Review preview for Penelope

    As a modern fairy tale Penelope has a gentle touch, and while flat in places it's definitely more silk purse than sow's ear.

    Andrew Robertson · 3.5 out of 5
    A young heiress is disfigured by a curse which only true love can lift.
  • Rememory (2017)
    Review preview for Rememory

    The machine here proves to be little more than a macguffin for a murder mystery set-up and a side helping of sentimental stodge.

    Amber Wilkinson · 4 out of 5

  • The Toxic Avenger (2025)
    Review preview for The Toxic Avenger

    Even in the cheapest of zombie films, human bodies have never come apart so easily, nor contained such an abundance of blood. It explodes across the screen at frequent intervals, each one more spectacular than the last.

    Jennie Kermode · 3.5 out of 5

  • Wicked (2024)
    Review preview for Wicked

    For fans of the musical, this will give them more of what they already like, perhaps even too much. For those not yet fans I'm not sure this will give them enough.
