Rise of the Skywalker will give you Palpa’tations
Rise of the Skywalker will give you Palpa’tations
It has taken 42 years to get there, but finally, the Skywalker saga is drawing to a close. No other cinematic franchise has ever reached the massive heights that Star Wars has and to say that this is a beloved series is under-selling it in a very big way. It is for that reason that J.J. Abrams has had one of the most difficult jobs that any filmmaker could ever dream of, it is up to him to close this much loved chapter in the Star Wars story in a way that will please a legion of fans world-wide.
All girl power but no star power in Charlie’s Angels reboot
All girl power but no star power in Charlie’s Angels reboot
We were promised one of the biggest block­busters of the year, but what we got was a C-grade action flick that didn’t even register a blip at the box office. That really is the only kind way to describe the Charlie’s Angels reboot.

Double trouble: Will Smith meets Will Smith in sci-fi flop Gemini Man
“Know your limits!” is the kind of thing you would expect to say to a first-time director who wants to bury themselves in an overly am­bitious cinematic project. But it’s hardly the kind of thing that you would think a studio or producer would have to tell an experienced, Oscar-winning director like Ang Lee.

Original cast double down on comedy and horror in Zombieland sequel
Flashback to 2009. A film called Zombieland is released, a film that I suspect not even the studio thought would even be a blip on the radar. In fact, it was lucky not to go straight to DVD. The film was originally supposed to be a television pi­lot but was rehashed into a feature film – never a good sign.

Every now and then, a movie comes along that needs to be considered an absolute masterpiece, one that deserves to have its name read out a few times on Oscar night.

Gone are the days when animated films were used as devices to distract kids during school holidays while adults did all they could do to avoid them.

Tarantino with a twist: Director’s ode to the ’60s shows there’s simply nothing he cannot do
The release of a Quentin Taran­tino movie is now considered a cinematic event. It’s funny: when a new Marvel movie is about to be released, you see red carpets galore, yet outside of America Tarantino’s movie just creep into cinemas.

Croc Horror: Creature feature Crawl packed full of suspense… and killer alligators
When it comes to great horror directors, we always tend to think of masters like John Carpenter, James Wan or Wes Cra­ven. Is it time, though, to start thinking about adding French director Alexandre Aja to that list? As if movies like The Hills Have Eyes and Mirrors weren’t impressive enough, his brand-new film Crawl has some critics calling him one of the best next generation genre directors.
A roaring success: The Lion King remake a cinematic masterpiece to change CGI forever
A roaring success: The Lion King remake a cinematic masterpiece to change CGI forever
Disney’s plan to reimagine some of their most iconic films seems to have divided audiences around the world. The hatred that was lev­elled at The Lion King before its world pre­miere was unprecedented and, as it turned out, completely unwarranted.

If you thought the post-Endgame Avengers universe would see the quality of the films in it drop, think again because Marvel has just released one of the best films of the year.

Most music fans do not need an introduction to Elton John. He is the man re­sponsible for some of the most iconic songs in rock history.
Beast of burden: New Godzilla delivers in action but falls down in characterisation
Beast of burden: New Godzilla delivers in action but falls down in characterisation
The modern day Hollywood Godzilla franchise has certainly been an up-and-down affair. The first film in the series hit screens in 2014 and was largely criticised due to the fact that it lacked something that you would have thought would be pretty important to the film being liked by fans – screen time for Godzilla himself.
