Long-time fans of the franchise will be happy to know that Kingdom serves as a serviceable yet clunky inaugural instalment for a new trilogy – teasing a slew of new concepts which will undoubtedly enrich the mythos of this long standing series in the future.

The Fall Guy is the rare blockbuster studio film that feels simultaneously old school and fresh in execution. It is incredibly funny, fast-paced and deeply romantic. At its core, however, the film is a love letter to the stunt community and the incredible work they do to entertain audiences.

Guadagnino has served up a smash hit, and it’s up to audiences to decide what to do now that the ball is in their court.

Monkey Man tells the story of a nameless young man, referred to in the credits as “Kid” and using the self-applied alias “Bobby”, a fighter at an underground boxing ring in Yatana, as he attempts to infiltrate the ranks of the powerful upper class to enact violent revenge for the massacre of his village - a story that mirrors the Hindu epic of Hanuman, the white monkey. 

The First Omen is a quiet triumph for modern horror, understanding the delicate balance between terror and beauty, and between homage and innovation.

While The New Empire may not be exactly treading new ground, it does succeed at something that few modern blockbusters do - being fun. GxK delivers on a monster mashup of epic proportions, with a few little surprises up its sleeve and just enough creativity to inspire hope for the franchise ahead.

Fans of bizarre, esoteric and extreme films, who live around Melbourne and Sydney can rejoice, because it's that time of year - Fantastic Film Festival Australia is back once again.

As it is, Kung Fu Panda 4 is a worthy sequel and enjoyable film, even if it doesn’t quite live up to its potential.

This is a fun movie. Longtime fans will probably love Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire the most, but at the end of the day, it won’t grab the imagination of any new audiences.

Glass subverted my expectations repeatedly through her pairing of lesbians and gym bros, the supernatural creeping into the frame, and an unexpected experimental conclusion to the movie. Love Lies Bleeding is a bloody good thriller!

Imaginary is a confounding experience, with absolutely none of the first draft wrinkles of the script ironed out.

Driven by a powerhouse performance, Vanya is devilishly funny, playful, and inextricably human.

With its sweeping visual scope and grand approach to world building and action, Dune: Part Two is an absolutely monumental piece of sci-fi cinema. This is the kind of cinematic event that doesn't come around often, and I'd highly recommend checking it out in the biggest, loudest cinema possible.

I had quite a good time watching Madame Web. It's just the right blend of bad and confusing filmmaking, never quite finding a happy medium between corporate meddling and the naïve misguidedness of a first time director.

Everyone always asks who is Argylle, but they never ask how is Argylle? Kind of disappointing, if I'm being honest.

Force of Nature is an engrossing modern murder mystery regardless of whether you grew up in Victoria or not, and it does too many difficult things well to be dismissed
