Pike River is a quiet, harrowing memorial. A film that refuses spectacle and instead sits with the families’ grief. Anchored by Lynskey and Malcolm, it’s intimate, restrained, and devastating in its honesty, haunting you with what it withholds rather than what it shows.

Despite its uneven tone and ethical quandaries, Eleanor, the Great is a film that lingers. It presents a portrait of a woman who is flawed, funny, and heartbreakingly human. Squibb’s performance is the glue that holds it all together, infusing Eleanor with a vitality that makes her impossible to ignore. we rate it a touching 4 out of 5!

Weapons is a film that deserves recognition for its ambition and its ability to sustain suspense.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba – Infinity Castle is both exhausting and exhilarating. It delivers over two hours of beautifully rendered combat, intertwined with tragic histories that aim for the heart. It is easy enough to follow for newcomers, though the deeper emotional resonance requires the investment of watching the series first. We rate it a promising 4 out of 5.

For audiences steeped in the history of Flying Nun, post-punk, and underground New Zealand music, the film is a treasure trove. It is filled with stories, songs, and footage that resonate deeply with those who lived through or later discovered that world. For others...it may feel niche. This is not a film designed to convert casual listeners, it is one made for those who already care. We rate it a promising 3 out of 5.

Splitsville offers a comedy that is not afraid to wrestle, literally and figuratively, with jealousy, desire, and friendship. It may be chaotic, uneven, and even predictable, but it is also warm, funny, and surprisingly heartfelt. We give it solid 4 out of 5!

Its blend of action, eccentric encounters, and dark humour makes it a memorable entry in modern crime-thriller cinema. Hank Thompson may not be the most likeable hero at first, but [...] With Kravitz’s strong performance and a lively supporting cast, Caught Stealing is a fast, violent, and fun story set in the chaotic heart of New York’s criminal underworld. We give it a promising 3 out of 5.

All in all, The Naked Gun delivers a mixed bag of comedy. Some gags hit hard. Others are total misses. But the sheer volume of jokes ensures there is never a dull moment. For anyone willing to turn off their brain and embrace the absurdity, there is plenty of fun to be had. It is not refined, and it certainly isn’t consistent, but it is undeniably entertaining. A solid 4 out of 5!

Jurassic World: Rebirth is all spectacle, no soul. Despite Gareth Edwards’ stunning visuals and a few strong creature moments, the film sidelines its dinosaurs, leans on thin characters, and splits its focus between two undercooked plots. With unlikeable leads, recycled franchise beats, and action that lacks emotional stakes, it looks like Jurassic Park but never recaptures its awe or danger.

M3GAN 2.0 trades slow-burn horror for glossy sci‑fi chaos, turning its killer doll into a quippy action anti‑hero. The AMELIA storyline brings big set pieces and campy doll‑versus‑doll battles, but thinner characters and uneven tone keep it from hitting as hard as the original. Still, it’s slick, silly, and crowd‑pleasing; a sequel that knows it’s here to entertain, not terrify.

28 Years Later is a bleak, poetic continuation. A story less about the infected and more about what survives inside the people left behind. Boyle blends ferocity with quiet reflection as a boy comes of age in a ruined Scotland, confronting new mutations, old myths, and the fragile hope of something better. A brutal, contemplative journey about memory, identity, and the thin thread of humanity that refuses to die.

Together is a clever, unsettling blend of relationship drama and body horror that lands its emotional beats more effectively than its scares. While the final act stumbles with over-explanation, the film’s slow, uncomfortable tension and sharp performances make it a compelling watch. We give it a solid 4 out of 5!
