Wicked (2024)

★★★★ The long running Broadway production finally makes its cinematic debut in fittingly wonderful fashion with Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande providing plenty of on-screen magic

Gladiator II (2024)

★★★ While I was somewhat entertained by the bombastic action set pieces, Ridley Scott's long-awaited sequel lacks the emotional weight that made the first film so iconic

Blitz (2024)

★★★★ It may lack the nuances of his more challenging previous works but Steve McQueen still manages to deliver a captivating wartime drama that is surprisingly old-fashioned
