Beautifully shot, acted, constructed, and remarkably intelligent, Arrival is a stunning film.

The Light Between Oceans Review
Tom and Isabel (Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander) are faced with the most difficult of decisions. A conflict between what is right, and what they desire above all else. It’s a struggle which will ultimately ask much of the character’s moral compasses.
Star Trek Beyond Mini Review
“Fear of death is what keeps us alive.”
Supersonic Mini Review
“We were just lads from a council estate. Two brothers. Head cases.”
Inferno Review

Hunt for the Wilderpeople Review
Quite simply, the best film of 2016 so far.
Bad Neighbours 2 Review
Blissfully married Mac and Kelly get new – and suitably bad – bad neighbours. Mac and Kelly strike back against said neighbours. Chaos ensues.
Everybody Wants Some!! Review
Everybody Wants Some!! opens with college newbie Jake (Blake Jenner) on route to his new student home, rolling through the sun-kissed streets in his vintage car, with The Knack’s “My Sharona” blaring out of the windows. It’s effortlessly cool, irresistibly groovy, and it sets the tone perfectly. Welcome to the 1980s, the home of great music, dodgy style…
Anomalisa Mini Review
“Look for what is special about each individual, focus on that.”
