  • When horror is sad

    More of a sad story than a horror one, it doesn’t mean that it’s safe to see this all by yourself at night, even with the lights on. You’ll be pulling that blanket over your head and calling out for your mama.

  • Smurfs is the most colorful movie my eyes have ever been exposed to. The blue creatures are cute.

  • Hidden under every trope imaginable that celebrates this generational zeitgeist, Kpop Demon Hunters is actually a mild commentary on The System. But you barely feel it because it’s fun and colorful to watch and listen to – you can almost say it’s diabolical.

  • Karate Kid: Legends unites Jackie Chan of Karate Kid 2010 with Ralph Macchio of OG Karate Kid 1984 plus Ben Wang of Disney+’s American Born Chinese in the latest bid to keep this property kicking well into the 21st century, long after Daniel LaRusso crane-kicked the boxoffice in 1984.

  • Novocaine is bone-breaking, teeth-shattering, not-for-the-squeamish fun! Hollywood, I want a sequel! Novocaine is bone-breaking, teeth-shattering, not-for-the-squeamish fun! Hollywood, I want a sequel!

  • Relatives looking for relatives. Lost individuals searching for inner peace. Anora is A Real Pain, Paddington

  • What I didn’t expect was for the reactions to the third film – no frills called Sonic the Hedgehog 3 – to be that loud.

  • It’s the same torturous ride but on a bigger stage and with bloodier carnage. Which means, for fans of the original, Smile 2 is something to smile about.

  • A surprisingly effective refurbishing of the brand, a heartfelt reworking of an old rivalry and positively the start of a new way to enjoy Transformers.

  • Its sensibilities may belong to a different time, but Ride or Die’s comedy and action slap really hard.
