Shakespearean purists probably ought not to bother with this relocated and heavily abridged version of his tale of the Prince of Denmark but as reimaginings go, this is still quite an interesting effort. Here, “Elsinore” is an epitome of corporate greed hitherto run by the father of “Hamlet” (Riz Ahmed) until his death after a long illness. Barely has he drawn his last breath when his widow “Gertrude” (Sheeba Chaddha) announces that she will marry his brother “Claudius” (Art Malik). “Hamlet” is fairly traumatised by this news and it’s in this slightly emotive state that he is visited by a spec…

When an electrical storm hits during a late-night talk show, a radio DJ receives persistent calls from a mysterious caller telling her stories of electrical appliances affected by the storm. This wraparound was a great premise and works well to hold the various tales together with purpose and direction. Each short is helmed by different directors, yet centre round a shared nightmarish theme of how technology could harbour malevolent intent. We have gamers slaughtering each other in VR, crazed Alexa's, haunted exes, folk horror inspired twisted nightmares, men obsessed with double cooke…

This movie quietly exposes how isolating modern life can be. The contrast between structured, “successful” loneliness and socially excluded loneliness is handled in such a subtle but powerful way. It never lectures you — it just shows you small, human moments that slowly build into something heartbreaking. I found myself thinking about the characters like real people long after the credits rolled. Not an easy watch emotionally, but absolutely worth it. Daniel Auteuil plays the stressed, disconnected Harry to perfection, but Pascal Duquenne as Georges is the film’s magical heart. The magic…

You really need to remember what happened at the end of the last one (2025) to make much sense of this, and then the question is: why didn’t they just extend that by twenty minutes and roll this into that? There’s really very little here to make a new film about as Renny Harlin and Madeleine Petsch struggle to squeeze the dregs of the juice from the fruit of this tired franchise. The bruised and battered “Maya” (Petsch) is still hanging around in the woods as the pair of masked killers target anyone who visits their town of “Venus”. This time, though, she becomes more integrated with their hei…

If this has any purpose at all, it is to demonstrate just how running scared the American media conglomerates are of the Trump Organization. I would venture to suggest that this sterile and unrevealing feature has no rights value whatsoever, and that anyone would countenance paying $40 millions for it must stick in the throat of dozens of independent film makers who would give their eye-teeth for a share of such funding. There is a lot of hate around for this, but viewed with an open-mind it could have shone a light on the important work carried out by the First Lady. Instead, we simply watch …

A young girl wakes up imprisoned underground with amnesia. She must escape, unravel the mystery behind her captivity, and confront her personal struggles. A suspenseful tale of survival, truth, and inner turmoil unfolds. This film puts us directly in the shoes of our protagonist, Abigail (Megan Adara), who wakes to find herself in a cold, dank concrete room with chains on the wall and a cast iron door. She has almost complete amnesia with no context of her surroundings or why she’s there. As Abigail makes a bid for freedom through a labyrinth of never-ending corridors and chamber…

Uncut Gems anxiety multiplied by 100. Yeah the Oscar might actually go to Timothee. Don't get me wrong, Michael B. Jordan and Leonardo DiCaprio were amazing, but GAH DAMN Timothee did something special here. It's getting harder and harder for me to choose the best movie of 2025. I'll need to rewatch Sinners and OBAA to decide. (The Reze Arc is still my personal favorite of 2025.)…

I think this season ended quite well. They're progressing along with the game. Lucy is really lucky. As seen in the final scenes, it felt like there was another Russian facility there. There were flying robots and stuff. Season 3 is coming, and hopefully they won't leave a long gap. It's a series I liked, I loved the atmosphere, and the acting was great. It's among my favorites. The Alpha version is coming on that machine. Let's see what happens. Thanks for your hard work, it was a great season.…

This is an enjoyable, well-made thriller, even if it treads familiar ground. Two police officers — one principled, one far more questionable — find themselves trapped in a neighbourhood erupting into chaos after a death in police custody sparks violent unrest driven by racial tensions. As they fight to survive and make it to safety, the pressure steadily mounts, not only from the rioting streets around them but from the growing mistrust between the two men themselves. The escalating tension is easily the film’s biggest strength. While the setup isn’t particularly original, the fi…
