Timothée Chalamet continues his incredible run in #MartySupreme! 🏓 A 5-star performance in a 4-star film that proves he’s the best of his generation. It’s a wild, con-man biopic that makes table tennis feel like a high-stakes battle.

A ★★★★ review of Marty Supreme (2025)
Chalamet makes ping-pong feel epic. The movie forgets the score. Timothée Chalamet continues to prove he’s at the top of his game, opting for a 2½-hour biopic about a table-tennis legend instead of an...

No real work today, so I am going to go do some reel work which involves watching a man play ping pong for a couple hours.

CouchPotatoUK's ★★★★ review of A Thousand Blows
Series 2 of A Thousand Blows picks up exactly where it left off, though you’ll spend the first hour wishing for a recap to shake off the narrative cobwebs. It’s a classic Stephen Knight slow burn—heav...

I’ve just seen the best film in ages. If Ryan Coogler, Michael B. Jordan, and the rest of the #Sinners team aren't in every Oscar discussion this year, I’m opening a criminal investigation immediately! 🚨 🎬

A ★★★★★ review of Sinners (2025)
​Sinners is quite simply the best film I have seen in ages... this is exactly what cinema was created for. A masterclass in storytelling, it excels in every department: the acting, the sharp script, t...

“Simpler, but also bolder and bloodier, than its predecessor, The Bone Temple is a more-than-worthy sequel.”

Alex Garland and Danny Boyle's zombie saga continues with Nia DaCosta's #28YearsLater: The Bone Temple – in UK cinemas tomorrow.

Come for the kitschy miniatures and Farrah Fawcett’s hair; stay for the horrifying realization that 1970s sci-fi predicted our obsession with youth culture way too accurately.

A ★★★½ review of Logan's Run (1976)
​Logan's Run remains a "vast, silly extravaganza" that manages to be a fun trip once it stops taking itself seriously. Released just a year before Star Wars, it looks incredibly dated now, yet its the...

🎬 Munich (Sky Cinema)

Powerful story of how one man sold his soul to avenge his people.

Fizzles in the last half hour, but it's a powerful story and Eric Bana gives the best performance of his career.

🎬 The Fall Guy (Sky Cinema)

I loved this show when I was young, so I am disappointed that this action comedy was just average. The cast is good, the soundtrack is great, but sadly the plot is a bit flimsy.

🎬 Frances Ha (Mubi)

Noah Baumbach tried so hard to make this like Woody Allen's fantastic Annie Hall... He failed in every way. The only positive thing I can say about this borefest is the cast was pretty good.

🎬 Perfect Days (Mubi)

I never thought I would enjoy watching a movie about a guy cleaning toilets so much

Hirayama, gets up, drinks coffee, listens to classic rock cassettes, cleans toilets, eats, reads and repeats

Are these perfect days? It's up to you to decide
