“I have love in me the likes of which you can scarcely imagine and rage the likes of which you would not believe. If I cannot satisfy the one, I will indulge the other.” — Mary Shelley, Frankenstein Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein, 2025 , opens with thunderous applause as we meet the monster before we meet the man. The Arctic. Snow falling over a ruin of ice, a ship that cannot be moved, and from the very first scene, you feel the familiar visuals of del Toro’s hand, a visi

Alison Brie and Dave Franco are married in real life, and this is evident in their chemistry as Millie and Tim, a 30-something-year-old couple where one has their shit together, and one doesn't. Millie is a teacher; she wants to shape young minds. Tim is a 35-year-old 'rock star' who is suffering from trauma; he should be in therapy, but he isn't, and that's clear throughout the film. They take the plunge and move out of the city to a small town, in a beautiful home...

Sketch is a movie with heart. I immediately loved it, and though it's not something that I will have on repeat, its emotion resonated with me in the gentlest way possible, and I have no doubts this will become someone's favourite movie.

Phase 6 has begun in the same vein as Phase 1: world-building. Without leaving behind the complexities and nuances of Phase 1-5, Fantastic Four: First Steps was able to introduce a new world, new characters and heroes while still maintaining the overall feel of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

There are superhero movies. Tons of them. 55 live-action Marvel movies. 45 live-action DC movies. Ten of those live-action DC movies are Superman, and Superman (2025) is exactly what embodies who Kal-El is, and has always been. James Gunn's Superman is not just a summer blockbuster; it's a triumph in storytelling, not because it reinvents the wheel, but because it stopped trying to be everything for everyone. It's confident in the messaging, and it says it with precision: Sup

This film is entertaining, sure, but at some point we have to stop giving Blockbuster films a free pass because they’re loud, expensive and the IP generates money and nostalgia. Jurassic World: Rebirth isn’t a bad movie, but that doesn’t mean it’s good. It’s too scary to be an action-adventure, too placid to be a horror movie. We know big-budget films are capable of being written properly. Top Gun: Maverick, Max Max: Fury Road, Star Wars: Rogue One, The Dark Knight the list g

M3GAN 2.0 is superior to its predecessor, but that's not a difficult thing to achieve. While it levels up with camp, choreographed violence and fight scenes, and better character the development, the film is not strong enough to indicate if this will turn into a successful franchised that leans into satire or if it's genuinely beginning to take itself seriously enough be a voice in the advancements of artificial intelligence.

The Phantom Menace is the perfect title for a movie with no rhyme or reason in the conceptual world of Star Wars. It’s deliberately ambiguous, the representation of a film that could have layers if it were written with the intent of actually adding to the universe. Instead, it screams of a vanity project, a fantastical reach into Star Wars that implicates at something looming: Sidious is hiding, the Sith are hinted at, Anakin is introduced, but there is no meaning in this fil

39 Great Years. Thanks Chuck. The billboard with Chuck Krantz sits proudly on top of the bank, noticed by Marty Anderson (Chiwetel Ejiofor) as he’s stuck in traffic. There is no internet, the television service has gone out, phone signals are lost, California is under water, sinkholes are opening all over and still, humanity persists. He’s on his way to the school, a teacher who is conducting parent-teacher conferences, but the parents don’t want to talk about. A short stor

’Ballerina’ is explosive fun in the world of John Wick; it’s a notable and elegant expansion of the world that encompasses both familiarity and new faces. Placed between John Wick 3: Parabellum and John Wick 4 comes the story of Eve, a once innocent little girl who watched her father get murdered at the hands of a cult of assassins.

Companion is a wicked and delicious hard lean into the diabolical nature of control and the human condition on how far we are willing to bend when it comes to dominion over others. This movie is a stylized, razor-sharp dark comedy that dissects emotional dependence, abusive relationships, control over autonomy, and dehumanization. This film is not for the weak.

The Drop is not your ideal first date, but it does have excellent lighting and a view to die for. The premise is simple: Violet, charmingly played by Meghann Fahy, is on her first date since her husband’s death, the man, a photographer who works for the mayor and sweetheart, Henry, (Brandon Sklenar), her 5-year-old son is at home with her sister, Jen, and she starts receiving menacing airdrop (coined as digidrop) messages in the form of memes—not even good memes either. Ancie

In Coherence, eight friends gather for a night of festivities, the night a comet passes overhead, a classic movie trope: the dinner party, and what always begins with a night of wine, awkward laughter and sharing stories from the past usually ends with worlds twisted: in the case of Coherence, in absolution. A disquieted bend in reality, unfolding its own story as the comet lights up the sky.
