You Can't Handle The Truth

FAST AND FURIOUS IS BACK, THIS TIME WITH ROMAN NUMERALS. What can I say about the tenth instalment though, it's more of exactly what we're used to by now, it's daft, dumb, defies the laws of God and Gravity throughout and ends on a monumental blockbuster that only Vin Diesel thinks must've been a great idea. Yet there's something so incredible about this film and it is the very definition of cinematic entertainment. I had a BLAST with it, and it may even be the most fun I've had at the cinema in years. So check out Fast X and you'll actually have an incredible time.

Disney's live action reimagining of the 1989 beloved classic is in cinemas now, with Halle Bailey taking on the role of Ariel. It's...fine. Perfectly watchable and harmless, but not as enticing or imaginative as the animated version, opting for more photorealistic animals as opposed to exaggerative and exciting portrayals of Flounder and Sebastian to name a couple. Halle shines, the directing is decent, it's just lacking a spark and ends up looking like a cgi blur under water for the most part. It'll be successful though so check it out if you're a fan of Disney's cash grabbing ways with their remakes.

The finale in Marvel's trilogy of Guardians films, sees James Gunn return to the directors chair in what may possibly be the thematically darkest film the studio has signed off on. For me, I didn't dig it. It's graphic in its depiction of animal cruelty and testing, making it a brutally harrowing watch and I honestly wouldn't recommend any younger child watching this, even if they're a fan of the previous two entries. Some of the film works, a lot of it doesn't but as a final farewell it packs a lot of emotion and heart into the two and a half hour runtime. In cinemas now.

Released in 2017, Vol. 2 continues the adventures of Star Lord, Rocket, Groot, Drax and Gamora six months after the events of the first film. Becoming a fully fledged team by the end of the first, thats an element that is picked up straight away in this instalment..for all of 30 minutes before the team splits up and there's tension all around. It makes sense given the narrative and to evolve the chemistry through drama and inevitably the team up moments are once again brilliant. Its a fun film, a solid sequel and captures a heavy amount of heart and humour so check it out before Vol. 3!

The first movie in James Gunn's trilogy, released in 2014 sees a band of rogues forced to work together and save the galaxy. Comedy, action, drama, romance, this film has it all. A wildly different film from Marvel at the time of release but what was likely their biggest risk, turned into one of their biggest successes. Great cast, great dynamic, very fun movie even if you're no Marvel fan! Streaming on Disney+ now if you're living under a rock and haven't seen it yet!

Yes I'm talking about John Wick again but this shall be the last time for a while I promise.. very simply, I saw it in IMAX and it was so good I would absolutely recommend seeing it like that if you can. I'm about a month late for recommending it since its left most cinemas now but its a great time nonetheless and you can't go wrong in imax!

This medieval fantasy flick based on the tabletop game is striking a chord with fans all around the world and also newcomers too. However...I didn't like it! And I really struggle to see what all the hype is for it. Chris Pine is the standout but everyone else is just kinda passable at best, but with a couple of decent scenes, shot and edited well, it's not enough for me to recommend you check it out. However it's available to rent at home now should you wish, and may still be in select cinemas.

This new London set rom-com is an absolute delight from start to finish, harkening back to the glory days of Richard Curtis flicks but with a splash of the 21st century to represent today in a much better light. Very important and exciting to see such a predominantly black cast and crew shine in one of the best rom-coms of the 2020s and possible century so far. Streaming on Hulu and Disney+ soon!
