The fifth instalment of the Monsterverse has hit the screens and is doing VERY well at the box office. This time, Kong and Godzilla team up to take down a new threat lurking in the depths of Hollow Earth in 'Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire'.

With inspiration from the Showa era, and some 80s flicks, GxK absolutely has moments that are dazzling and, frankly, hilarious as they cause mayhem and destruction. But aside from the fun action, there’s not an awful lot more going for this film, and feels essentially like we’re now getting Fast and Furious films.. but with Monsters!

Having very much enjoyed the previous release, 'Ghostbusters: Afterlife', going as far to say probably the best sequel since the 1984 original, I was certainly up for another sequel of ghosts and ghouls being busted.. As they say, be careful what you wish for! 'Frozen Empire' sadly falls quite short on a number of things that makes this one of the weaker sequels that has been delivered in this franchise.

With a few ok moments sprinkled here and there, the film is stuffed with returning characters, exposition, plot conveniences, and just not that good of a big bad.

Inspired by true events, 'Wicked Little Letters' follows two neighbours, pitted against each other due to foul mouthed letters arriving on peoples’ doorsteps. Though crude, funny and charming, the film also has serious undertones of equality between men and women, and women’s rights in general; executed and delivered wonderfully by director Thea Sharrock and the films leads Olivia Coleman and Jesse Buckley – both of which are fantastic in this release.

We return to the desert planet Arrakis for another visual masterpiece courtesy of Denis Villeneuve and team. 'Dune: Part Two' takes everything you loved from the first, in terms of scale, imagery, practical and visual effects, and ups it to a whole other level. With tremendous performances from leads Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya, as well as the brilliant supporting cast, 'Dune Part Two' certainly is a great sequel, and one that will be spoken about for a long. long time.

Disastrous from start to finish. Full painful thoughts in this episode.

I am very late to the party on this one, but I have finally caught Yorgos Lanthimos' 'Poor Things' – and good lord was this film excellent.

It is crystal clear why this film has received 11 nominations at the upcoming Oscars. The script is fantastic, set and costume is stunning, a phenomenal performance from Emma Stone, as too stunning cinematography included that brings this wacky and wonderful world to life.

One of the better character pieces I’ve seen in a very long time! Full thoughts in this episode.  

Matthew Vaughn brings us 'Argylle', another action spy comedy, starring Bryce Dallas Howard and Sam Rockwell (as well as a number of big names) and I can absolutely see why the film is dividing audiences and critics.

The film keeps you guessing with its constant pulling of the rug, and at times this is great – but other times, it just feels a little too out there. Its silly, flash and full of fun action sequences, but the hideous CGI and green screen really make you work for it.

Finally hitting UK cinemas is 'All Of Us Strangers', and I cannot stress enough to moviegoers – go see this film. It might only be January, but the film is straight away up there as one of the best films of the year with its excellent script as well as stellar performances from the whole cast, in particular, Andrew Scott, who was exceptional. It’s a beautiful but heartbreaking story surrounding identity, true love, grief, loneliness and family.

Steven Spielberg returned to the directors’ chair for the highly anticipated sequel to Jurassic Park; 'The Lost World'. Released in 1997 to mixed reviews, the film upped the adventure, tension and amazing work from Stan Winston, as well as ILM.

The first two Jurassic films are, still to this day, my favourites of the bunch (barring 'The Lost World's' clunky third act). The work from Spielberg is, as usual, flawless, the dynamic between the films leads are great fun, and though the film makes some big changes from the novel, it still also honours the source material; making 'The Lost World' the best sequel of the saga.
