Colleen Hoover’s controversial smash hit novel, It Ends With Us, has just hit theatres in all its soapy Hallmark glory.

There is no doubt that Deadpool & Wolverine has a lot going for it. Walking in there expecting to be stunned, excited, and especially dying of laughter, will see such expectations fulfilled without fail. However, between the lines lies a canvas that remains untouched, lacking the creativity and depth some would call critical to a good story.

For those willing to embrace its unique approach, Nash's film offers an off-kilter and strangely beautiful experience.

Kinds of Kindness is a film that, while not without its immature and edgy side that seems cultivated purely to provoke, leaves you thinking long after the credits roll.

Grab your popcorn, silence your phone, and sit down for A Quiet Place: Day One - just don’t expect it to leave you anywhere near as speechless as its survivors.

Longlegs still manages to stand out despite the abundance of highly effective and artful horror we are afforded in the modern era.

Much like its predecessor, Twisters is an exhilarating Spielbergian spectacle which showcases the sheer vehemence of nature’s fury.

If you’re an avid fan of horror films and especially love slashers, this is the film for you; if I’m not describing you, but you’re willing to give it a shot, you’ll find a fun ride of a movie with a few laughs and thrills along the way!

Fly Me to the Moon is a trip definitely worth taking. Audiences will come for the thrills of space, but stay for the moving and human story at its centre. Whether you’re a rom-com fan, a space nerd, or a conspiracy theorist, there’s something here to satisfy everyone.

The Bikeriders is a great nostalgia trip to an age of motorcycle riding that many have never experienced. But by its end, you’ll consider spending your EOFY money on a new bike—or at least a leather jacket.

Despicable Me 4 is a statement to the world of cinema. It doesn’t matter how mediocre your film is, if it has Minions… the children will come.

There are whispers of a great movie in The Watchers, with Ishana’s directorial eye occasionally shining through the film’s middling aspects, however at present her directing style feels imitatively beholden to superficial notions of M. Night’s storytelling sensibilities, and I’d love for her to find her footing amidst the depths of the forest.

Inside Out 2 is another easy home run for Pixar, especially when it has a strong message that everyone can relate to.

To put it bluntly, The Exorcism is an atmospherically stagnant cinematic offering akin to a long walk down a windy beach to a café that isn’t open.

There's a decent helping of funny-bad horror movie moments that include a particularly saucy burger, the ol’ spontaneously exploding motorcycle trick, and a singular rat being treated as if it's the most terrifying creature on the planet, but the overall experience is about as satisfying as eating soup with a fork.

At the end of the day this is a reasonably satisfying and serviceable entry in the series, a Jerry Bruckheimer production through and through, and possibly my second favourite behind Bad Boys II.

Rewatching The Phantom Menace sent me far beyond the realms of good or bad; I left with an admiration for a deeply strange film, and a slight cynicism that we may never quite see the likes of it again.

Not so much applying brakes to the franchise as it is shifting gears, Furiosa is a triumphantly Aussie blockbuster.

Just a month after the release of Dev Patel’s Monkey Man we get yet another thrilling directorial debut entering into the action subgenre - putting emphasis on crazy fight choreography - in Moritz Mohr’s brand new sci-fi bonanza Boy Kills World.

Long-time fans of the franchise will be happy to know that Kingdom serves as a serviceable yet clunky inaugural instalment for a new trilogy – teasing a slew of new concepts which will undoubtedly enrich the mythos of this long standing series in the future.
