To say Terminator 2: Judgement Day 3D is the best movie released this summer would be doing it down. It’s one of the best movies released all year and still one of the greatest action movies ever made. And they don’t make them like this anymore.

Absurd, irreverent, playful, over the top and completely bonkers in parts – but it’s fun and engaging with it.

Logan Lucky is about a group of criminals that seem dumb on the surface, but turn out to be smarter than they appear. Likewise, the film itself is much smarter than the ads might have you think.

For a film that’s trying to be grand and epic, The Dark Tower doesn’t amount to anything more than a series of fantasy and young adult clichés.

The Wall focuses on the aftermath of the Iraq War as the US is continuing to “mop up” its effects. With pockets of resistance still scattered around the vast deserts, there are some soldiers still on duty across the country including sniper Shane Matthews (Cena) and his spotter Allen Isaac (Taylor-Johnson).

The paramount theme in Stanley Tucci’s Final Portrait is that of tedium. The narrative revolves around the art of a portrait, at the hands of a perpetual perfectionist, thus meaning we have to wait, ages, and ages, and ages, for him to get it right. Then even when we believe he has done, he rips it up and starts all over again. Naturally, this doesn’t exactly sound like a desirable cinematic…

In the seemingly never-ending procession of summer blockbusters that are now part of a gigantic, expanded universe that is all the rage right now, it’s the turn of the Robots in Disguise to join the party with the fifth installment in the wildly successful franchise based on the popular cartoon and toys from the 1980’s.

Like its 1979 predecessor, Alien: Covenant is essentially a haunted house movie in space with plenty of screams to go around.

To evoke a sense of enchantment and tap into otherworldly themes is a challenge to pull off without veering into horribly saccharine territory, and it’s here Hazeldine fails spectacularly.

The symbolism associated with a red door goes back through the history of stories, with its intrinsic links to danger, the beyond and further beyond. In the opening moments of writer/director Trey Edward Shults’ mysterious horror/thriller, we are presented with such a symbol, a warning sign right from the off that this one is going to take us down some dark, ominous alleys, figuratively,…

Riding a critical wave since its debut at the end of last year, In This Corner of the World tells the story of young Suzu, a precocious and loving teenage girl who dreams of bigger things than the world she inhabits in Japan with her family. A serial artist and dreamer, she longs to escape her life to find her passion and become something more than what is laid out in front of her, but soon…

The power of the horror genre at the moment is pretty astounding when you think about it – low cost of productions, strong possibility of high-profit margins, almost critic proof despite the raging battle between studios and Rotten Tomatoes over recent months – so it really is no surprise that sequels are a healthy business even if the film that preceded it wasn’t much cop in the first…
