★★★★ Zach Cregger plunges us into a blood-soaked survival horror that captures the pulse-pounding tension, atmosphere, and gameplay mechanics of "Resident Evil", delivering the most electrifying video game adaptation to ever to hit the big screen.
★★★★ Andrew Scott captivates as a meteorologist whose life-saving forecasts turn the tide of fate in this riveting World War II drama, injecting fresh energy into one of the most dramatised chapters in military history.
★★★ Though it doesn't quite recapture the original's enchanting magic, this belated sequel delivers the cosy, seasonal delight fans of the cult 90s hit crave, with Bullock and Kidman once again lighting up the screen as the Owens sisters.
★★★1/2 Gregg Araki crafts his most inviting, laugh-out-loud film yet, as Olivia Wilde commands the screen with a fearless performance in this sharp, satirical dive into modern art and society's shifting attitudes towards sex
★★★ Ridley Scott infuses this bleak post-apocalyptic drama with visual splendour, yet rather than venturing into new realms, the legendary director merely treads familiar ground, recycling the shadows of countless dystopian properties that proceeded it
★★★ I admire Schoenbrun's sharp exploration of gender and sex tropes in horror films, and this meta-slasher dazzles with its striking visuals, yet I found myself drawn more to the eerie atmosphere and lingering ambiguity of their earlier work.
★★★★ Bursting with wily humour, timeless Looney Tunes slapstick, and a surprising amount of heart, this inventive, live-action and animation blend proves it was well worth the wait after its long time on the shelf.
★★1/2 The chaotic female-led comedy flashes with a few moments of hilarity, but stumbles over clumsy slapstick, worn-out cliches, and the baffling waste of Anna Faris, falling short of the riotous fun it so desperately chases.
★★★ David Robert Mitchell's wild Amblin-inspired fever dream is a tonal rollercoaster, with an unnecessarily great Anne Hathaway battling to rescue her chaotic suburban family from a prehistoric nightmare.
★★★1/2 Spider-Man's greatest strength has always been his vulnerability, and "Brand New Day" truly excels in its character development and emotional resonance. Unfortunately, the plot and action set-pieces feel rather insignificant by comparison.
