There have been dozens of movies about the most iconic character in horror history, Count Dracula, but never has the attention been on his familiar, the reluctant servant, Renfield, until now. We have a new comedy horror that looks like a dream on paper, with a fantastic cast and a plot that certainly adds a…

The Super Mario Bros. Movie
It has been a staple of the video gaming world since Nintendo produced the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1985. In 1992, a live-action version of the game was made starring Bob Hoskins, and it is still regarded as one of the worst movies ever made. Now, co-produced by Illuminations, the creators of the Minions, The…
Dungeons And Dragons: Honour Among Thieves
If the first blockbuster (usually released during the Easter season) is good, then the rest of the year will have some decent films to enjoy. Last year, we had Ambulance and Morbius, and, as we know, the movie last year wasn’t up to much of a high standard. Going into Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among…
Shazam! Fury Of The Gods
The biggest surprise of 2019 was Shazam! A delightfully charming superhero movie from DC, which managed to bring a mix of Tom Hanks’ Big with the usual formula found in most movies of this genre. A moderate success, it was inevitable that a sequel would happen. After several scheduling issues, Shazam! Fury of the Gods…
Allelujah
Be warned! Allelujah is not the feel-good British movie we are being led to believe by its advertising campaign. The brightly coloured poster with multi-coloured lettering and smiling faces of the cast is not what you get when you enter the cinema. In fact, it’s the complete opposite. This is a depressing, poorly executed movie…
Cocaine Bear
Some titles of movies you have to really think about. Others are self-explanatory. Cocaine Bear does precisely what it says on the tin. Like other nature terrorises films following the same lines as Jaws, this darkly comic gore-fest never takes itself too seriously. After the recent crop of award wannabes dealing with heavy and vital…
Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania
There currently seems to be a backlash against Marvel and its cinematic universe. Reading the reviews of their latest and 31st movie, you would be led to believe that Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is an absolute disaster. It’s not. It might not be up there with Avengers: Endgame, which seems to be the height…
Puss In Boots: The Last Wish
Who would have thought that a new Puss In Boots movie was the sequel we needed? It was 2011 when we saw this character in cinemas and we did think it was the last time we would have any more connections with the Shrek franchise. Well now, Dreamworks Animation has decided to bring a new…
Violent Night
If you are a fan of the movie Scrooged with Bill Murray, you will remember the start has an advert for an up-and-coming TV movie with Lee Majors called The Night The Reindeer Died. The premise was Santa Claus was under attack by terrorists, and only Lee Major could save them. Somebody had obviously thought…
Roald Dahl’s Matilda The Musical
Cinematic musicals have had a rough time in recent years. The genre was almost killed off in one fell swoop by Cats back in 2019, but thankfully it has been saved by the likes of Encanto and last year’s Everybody’s Talking About Jamie. Now, one of the biggest hits on the West End stage has…
Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery
Rian Johnson is a man who has the perfect answer for his critics. After he was slated for making the second in the new Star Wars trilogy, The Last Jedi, Johnson made Knives Out, an old-fashioned whodunnit with a delicious cast and a lead character who could easily be called the new Hercules Poirot. The…
The Menu
A few weeks ago, we had the satire Triangle of Sadness, which depicted the rich and wealthy having a time on board a luxury yacht. Now we have The Menu, a perfect companion to the movie, as mentioned earlier, in which we have an exclusive restaurant for the super-rich, which turns out to be a…
