Last Survivors (2022)

Josh Wilding

Both an edge of your seat thriller and a fascinating character study, Last Survivors could have done with a little more time to explore its loftier ideas, but proves itself an engaging experience with a superb performance from Alicia Silverstone.

Scream (2022)

Mark Cassidy

You may find yourself wondering how these capable (in some cases, trained) individuals are unable to handle themselves against a clumsy bastard with a relatively small blade who drops like a WWE referee whenever anyone brushes against him.

The Matrix Resurrections (2021)

Josh Wilding

A wholly unnecessary epilogue, The Matrix Resurrections retreads old ground, delivers mediocre action, and proves itself a tough pill to swallow despite a decent love story that, alone, isn't enough to justify revisiting this franchise. Time for a reboot.

The Matrix Resurrections (2021)

Mark Cassidy

The only thing Resurrections has going for it ... is its central pairing of Neo and Trinity. Reeves and Moss are both on top form, and their scenes together are the closest this movie comes to being emotionally engaging.

Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)

Mark Cassidy

Peter Parker comes of age in the MCU's best Spider-Man movie yet. No Way Home is a fun, exciting, occasionally intense love letter to Spidey fans past and present, which takes the iconic hero - & The Marvel Cinematic Universe - to some surprising places.

Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)

Josh Wilding

Spider-Man: No Way Home is the greatest Marvel movie ever made. Period. As epic as it is emotional, this is not only a perfect blockbuster, but Spider-Man's wildest, funniest, and most awe-inspiring adventure yet. It's a Marvel masterpiece.

Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021)

Josh Wilding

With a 5* performance from the insanely talented Mckenna Grace, Ghostbusters: Afterlife proves to be the perfect mix of new and old, delivering a nostalgia-filled, joyous return to form for the franchise that ends the trilogy in style.

Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021)

Mark Cassidy

If you check your cynicism at the door, you might find yourself being swept along by the film [Reitman] clearly set out to deliver: a love letter to the '80s classic, and a powerful tribute to lost friends.

Home Sweet Home Alone (2021)

Josh Wilding

It won't necessarily go down as a classic, but Home Sweet Home Alone is a fun family film for the holidays that kids will have a blast with, while there are enough gags to make it an enjoyable diversion for parents as well.

Red Notice (2021)

Josh Wilding

Turn off your brain, and you might have at least some fun with Red Notice. However, this brawny, bloated blockbuster is too short on new ideas and wastes its A-List cast for a cookie-cutter action flick that makes your Netflix subscription feel criminal.

Eternals (2021)

Josh Wilding

A powerful, sweeping exploration of love, life, and the MCU's history, Eternals occasionally stumbles, but when it soars, this is Marvel Studios at its magnificent best.

Red Notice (2021)

Red Notice is an obnoxious, desperately unfunny bore that wastes a trio of talented leads. Dumb movies can be entertaining, but sometimes they're just flat-out bad.

Eternals (2021)

Eternals can be heavy-handed and its ambitions arguably exceed its grasp, but at least it's reaching.

Finch (2021)

Rohan Patel

A heartwarming story about life, death, and everything in between. With an all-time Tom Hanks performance, it pulls at your heartstrings while enveloping you completely in a dire new world where maybe it's not entirely too late to hope again.

Army of Thieves (2021)

Josh Wilding

Army of Thieves doesn't subvert enough of its tropes to reinvent the heist genre, but Matthias Schweighöfer's incredible work both behind and in front of the camera help ensure this Army of the Dead prequel should not be overlooked.

Eternals (2021)

Rohan Patel

Marvel has its first existential crisis, coming to terms with not only what it means to be a hero but also what it means to be a God. It's extremely ambitious, and while it doesn't completely soar, it still opens a whole new realm of possibilities.

Dune (2021)

Mark Cassidy

An ambitious, contemplative sci-fi epic which could end up being regarded as Villeneuve's most monumental accomplishment. It may not be for everyone, but for those who do find themselves fully immersed in this world, a sublime cinematic experience awaits.

Dune (2021)

Josh Wilding

Dune is every bit as magnificent as you've been led to believe, but feels more like the prologue to a must-see second half (that may or may not happen) than a perfect film in its own right. Aside from that, though, it rarely disappoints.

Halloween Kills (2021)

Josh Wilding

Halloween Kills sidelines Jamie Lee Curtis for a laughably bad middle chapter of a trilogy that features heaps of gore and inventive kills, but is ultimately more filler than killer and a real letdown after 2018's Halloween.

No Time To Die (2021)

Josh Wilding

No Time to Die is the perfect James Bond movie; action-packed, satisfying, and surprisingly heartfelt, Cary Joji Fukunaga proves an ideal fit for this franchise and helps make sure Daniel Craig, who is phenomenal here, ends his tenure as 007 in style.

The Addams Family 2 (2021)

Josh Wilding

The Addams Family 2 is fun for the entire family, but too often veers down familiar routes to make this road trip movie a journey you'll want to take more than once.

Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021)

Josh Wilding

Venom: Let There Be Carnage is the ultimate Marvel movie; seeing Venom and Carnage clash is a comic book fan's dream come true, but the epic action is bolstered by incredible visuals, some big laughs, and a surprising amount of heart.

Malignant (2021)

Make it through some of Malignant's early pitfalls, and you'll be rewarded with a chilling tale that proves to be the creepiest, craziest horror movie of 2021.

Small Engine Repair (2021)

Josh Wilding

Small Engine Repair is a powerful piece of filmmaking from director John Pollono that features tour-de-force performances from its leads in a movie that's thought-provoking, darkly funny, and completely unmissable.

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021)

Josh Wilding

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is nothing short of action movie perfection; this is the MCU like you've never seen before, and it's no exaggeration to say Simu Liu was born to play the MCU's newest Avenger.

Candyman (2021)

Josh Wilding

Deepening the franchise's mythology with a timely and hard-hitting approach to the Candyman legend, Nia DaCosta delivers a horror movie that's terrifying, thought-provoking, and a sign of great things to come from the filmmaker.

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021)

Mark Cassidy

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings does stick to the established formula to a degree, but it's imbued with enough passion to overcome a slightly by-the-numbers origin story blueprint and emerge as one of the MCU's strongest chapters.

The Night House (2021)

The ending may disappoint those looking for more definitive answers, but is no less powerful as a meditation on what it takes to move on and live when all you want to do is lie down and join the one you lost.

Reminiscence (2021)

Mark Cassidy

Reminiscence is clearly aiming for a classic, noir-style vibe with a sci-fi twist, but it misfires/miscalculates at almost every turn ... to conjure entirely the wrong atmosphere.

Free Guy (2021)

Josh Wilding

Hilarious, heartwarming, and action-packed, Free Guy is everything a video game movie should be, and sees Ryan Reynolds deliver one of his finest comedic performances in a blockbuster best played on the big screen.

Free Guy (2021)

While not every gag hits the mark (more on that later), Free Guy is mostly very funny and engaging, which is what really sets it apart from so many similarly chaotic action "comedies" out there.

The Suicide Squad (2021)

Josh Wilding

It's not a comic book movie classic but you'll have a bloody good time with The Suicide Squad, an action-packed, often hilarious, take on Task Force X that breathes new life into the DC Extended Universe even if occasionally strikes a bum note.

The Suicide Squad (2021)

Jungle Cruise (2021)

Jungle Cruise is a ride you won't want to get off; with its charming three leads and a standout villain in Jesse Plemons, you'll be all aboard (sorry) for a fun family blockbuster that reminds us why we love going to the movies.

A Quiet Place Part II (2021)

Josh Wilding

John Krasinski ratchets up the tension to almost unbearable levels in A Quiet Place Part II, a sequel that doesn't disappoint thanks to its stellar cast, more big scares, and a story that feels earned after that excellent first movie.

Batman: The Long Halloween, Part Two (2021)

Josh Wilding

A fittingly epic conclusion, Batman: The Long Halloween, Part Two features more stellar voice performances from its cast and cements writer Tim Sheridan as an integral part of the current DC Animated Universe we hope to see much more of in future.

Nine Days (2021)

A stunning feature debut by director Edson Oda, Nine Days is powerful, moving, and a film of the year candidate thanks to a career-best performance from Winston Duke that drives home the fact he's a true acting force to be reckoned with.

Fear Street Part Three: 1666 (2021)

Fear Street Part Three: 1666 manages to deliver a satisfying conclusion to Leigh Janiak's stellar horror trilogy, all while giving Kiana Madeira another chance to prove she's a talent to watch after her impressive work in Part One.

Fear Street Part Two: 1978 (2021)

Despite feeling a tad too familiar at times, Fear Street Part Two: 1978 has enough fun with itself to satisfy gore-lovers, all while deepening this franchise's mythology in a way that will leave you eager to return for Part Three.

Fear Street Part One: 1994 (2021)

Josh Wilding

Bloody good fun, Fear Street Part One: 1994 is perhaps the best slasher movie to have been released this side of the 90s, and proves that there's still plenty of life to be found in this deadly corner of the horror genre.

Space Jam: A New Legacy (2021)

Black Widow (2021)

Black Widow is Bourne meets Bond meets Terminator...with two outstanding, badass female leads. Action-packed, funny, and at times surprisingly gut-wrenching, Cate Shortland's vision for the MCU is bold, empowering, and utterly unmissable.

Luca (2021)

Josh Wilding

There's fun to be had with Luca, but heaps of colour aren't enough to disguise an uninspired animation style and story that make it feel like Pixar is treading water in the wake of much better movies like Coco and Onward.
