- The Odyssey (2026) Review: A Powerful, Grand Sweeping Epic Saga That Is Nolan’s Best Film
Christopher Nolan’s marvellous masterpiece, ‘The Odyssey’ brings a star-studded cast, led by Matt Damon as legendary hero, Odysseus in this sweeping epic. Expect fast-paced battle sequences, Greek Gods and Goddesses, and mythological creatures on Odysseus’ perilous journey from the Trojan War to travelling back home to Ithaca after ten years. - Arco (2025) Review: An Imaginative & Colourful Anime Adventure
Ugo Bienvenu brings a refreshed take into the landscape of Japanese Anime with Arco (2025) which sees a time travel fantasy animation brought to life. Bringing a stellar cast including Natalie Portman and Mark Ruffalo who lend their voices as Iris’s parents. It’s colourful, visual design brings a vibrant energy. - Supergirl (2026) Review: A Sensational Female Superhero Saves The Day
Supergirl must save Krypto! Milly Alcock plays Kara/Supergirl in this live-action superhero caper directed by Craig Gillespie. Alien teenager, Ruthye (Eve Ridley) seeks Kara’s help against the tyrannical, Krem (Matthias Schoenaerts) after he murders her family. But when Krem poisons Krypto, Kara must save him before it’s too late. - The Last Viking (2025) Review: Mads Mikkelsen Is Excellent In This Dark Comedy
Anders Thomas Jensen – The Last Viking (2025) follows brothers Manfred and Anker and explores themes including, identity, family, and grief. This Danish film is both offbeat in its tone and unique in its storytelling. With each scene you truly don’t know what to expect next from Jensen’s latest film. - Crime 101 (2025) Review: A Thrilling, Suave Action Heist
Crime 101 (2025) pits the suave jewel thief Mike Davis (Chris Hemsworth) against the relentless Detective Lou Lubeskick (Mark Ruffalo). But what ensues is a cat-and-mouse game like Michael Mann’s action hit, ‘Heat’ (1995). An excellent supporting cast joins them with Halle Berry, Nick Nolte, and other Hollywood stars. - Whistle (2025) Review: A Terrifying, Inventive Horror Film With An Excellent Premise & Powerful Friendships
Corin Hardy returns to horror directing a fresh story in Whistle (2025) which sees teens unleash a curse from an ancient Aztec death whistle. Following Chrys Willet (played by Dafne Keen) along with her high school friends each learn their own grisly fates. But can they escape death?
