    Family: it’s one of the most powerful things we experience as humans. If you share the same blood as another, there’s a bond – innate from birth, or built upon over the years – that will stay with you until you die. Because of its universal nature, family is one of the strongest  themes cinema… Read More >

  • Pixels – Review

    Don’t hate Adam Sandler for being Adam Sandler; hate him for his movies. Having now denied rumours that his next project, Netflix’s The Ridiculous Six, is riddled with racist portrayals of native Americans, he’s definitely earned his place as a target for our hatred.

  • The Terminator – Review

    31 years on, and the Terminator franchise is still going strong. Or rather, it’s still alive. Regardless of any nth sequel’s quality, there’s a reason this science fiction franchise has continued to inspire us for over three decades: if you strip away all the pop culture-gobbling one-liners, what still remains is a beautifully designed world… Read More >

  • Mad Max: Fury Road – Review

  • Blade Runner: The Final Cut – Review

    Another chance to see one of the greatest films of all time on the big screen. If you’ve already seen it, you need little more motivation than that, and if you haven’t, you should have booked your ticket weeks ago… Read More >
