Film Review - AIR
A true testament to the belief in one’s talent and potential, AIR celebrates the story of how some commonly unknown underdogs saw something in someone that led to one of the biggest and most profitable sportswear partnerships of all time – and it is an endlessly entertaining and enjoyable watch to boot.
Film Review - Evil Dead Rise
Lee Cronin's latest stab Evil Dead Rise carves out new horizons for the horror franchise, while still boasting enough of the strengths of what came before.
Film Review - Tetris
Who knew a story about a video game where bricks fall from the sky could be so interesting?
Film Review - The Super Mario Bros. Movie
Story comes second and spectacle takes centre stage in The Super Mario Bros. Movie.
Film Review - John Wick: Chapter 4
Like its predecessors, Chapter 4 indulges in its extravagance unapologetically and gives us some of the best action scenes not only in the franchise, but in cinema as a whole.
Feature - Fantastic Film Festival Australia 2023 Program Launch/D&D: Honour Among Thieves
Fantastic Film Festival Australia is back in town, promising cinema without restraints.
Film Review - Scream VI
We've gotten particularly nasty Ghostfaces two years in a row, but since their creator's passing, the actual films seem trapped in a creative rut, doomed to sacrifice the slick edge that the series was once celebrated for in service of broad appeal.
Film Review - Missing
As the feature debut from directors Nicholas D. Johnson and Will Merrick - the editors of Searching, the film goes to town on inventive editing techniques and uses all the comforts of technology that we take for granted, twisting them into complete discomfort for a layer of tension that stays through almost the whole film.
Film Review - Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania
This is the way Phase Five of the Marvel Cinematic Universe starts — not with a bang, but with a family dramedy shrouded in visual effects and charming absurdity.
Film Review - Magic Mike’s Last Dance
With far less stripping and far fewer banger tracks than one would expect for a movie about stripping, I declare Magic Mike’s Last Dance an official flop.
