Carey Mulligan delivers a career defining performance in a tragic film disguised as a comedy in which she seeks to avenge those that raped her friend. It is also a strong directing and writing debut for Emerald Fennell.

The third and final Naked Gun film had a lot to live up but if anyone can make a film funny, it's Leslie Nielsen. Benjamin Cox looks back at the end of one of his favourite franchises - Pizza Express.

Remember that phase in the Noughties when old TV shows were revamped for movies? Well, this is the one that brought things to a juddering halt. Benjamin Cox prepares to smash his stake through this film's heart, if he can find it.

"Coming to America" is an undisputed Eddie Murphy/John Landis comedy classic! One that I have loved since I was a kid... Over 30 years later we now finally have a sequel... how does it hold up though? Let's find out!

I was surprised by how much I liked this sequel.

"Coming to America" is a true '80s comedy classic that I've loved since I was a kid. It stars one of my absolute favorite comedic stars of all time. Seeing how its sequel has come out on Amazon Prime, it feels like now is the perfect time to take a look back at the original!

"Tom & Jerry" is a 2021 live-action/animated hybrid film based on the Hanna-Barbera characters of the same name. While it pays respect to the source material with inventive animation and decent laughs, it falls standard with an unoriginal story, basic characters and questionable direction.

Forget your dusty Agatha Christie adaptations because Rian Johnson brings the old-fashioned murder mystery back up to date - by harking back to dusty Agatha Christie adaptations. Benjamin Cox explains.

Let's have a look at The Big Lebowski, a modern classic. Somewhere out there the Dude takes it easy for all of us sinners.

Forget the sequel because this seminal Eighties hit is still well worth a watch. Benjamin Cox grabs his Ray-Bans, plugs his amp in and settles back for possibly the craziest musical ever filmed.

"Scooby-Doo" is a 2002 live-action/CGI movie based on the long-running Scooby-Doo franchise. While satirically ambitious with a decent cast, the movie is flawed with a confusing tone, uncanny visual effects, and jokes that range from lazy to uncomfortable for family movie standards.

Joe Versus the Volcano is an interesting, but far from perfect movie about acquiescence. Surrender to what is. Only water in disguise.

This is a non-spoiler review of “Hubie Halloween” starring Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Julie Bowen, and more!

Sandler supposedly vowed to make the worst movie of all time if he was snubbed at the Oscars for his performance in 'Uncut Gems'... This definitely isn't the worst movie of all time, or even the worst of his filmography, but he seems to be trying to do terribly again.

It’s quite conceivable that Veronica (Haley Lu Richardson), the shoo-in valedictorian at her Missouri high school, has never failed a test in her life. When we meet her, however, in the opening frames of the HBO Max original Unpregnant, she’s not getting the result she wanted on a very different...

For a movie that seems like something stolen directly from The Hallmark Channel’s production room (right down to the casting of Hallmark mainstay Rachel Leigh Cook), Netflix’s new cheeseball rom-com Love, Guaranteed actually has a few things going for it (not the least of which is, in fact, Cook)...

Would Kathleen and Joe's relationship have lasted? Warning: contains spoilers.

Hollywood's greatest detective is back for another case. We're truly sorry about that. Benjamin Cox calls his partner for back-up.

The worst thing about the new Netflix original Desperados isn’t the fact that it completely squanders all the goodwill that the streaming service has recently built up with fun originals like Always Be My Maybe, The Half of It, and the recent Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga...

This is a non-spoiler review of "Office Christmas Party" starring Jason Bateman, Olivia Munn, T.J. Miller, and more!

Now available on the Arrow Video Channel, YouTube, and Google Play. Miguel Llansó's second feature film wears its influences on its sleeve and offers a uniquely bizarre and gloriously imaginative vision that shatters genre expectations.

Ask anyone who’s ever time-traveled, and they’ll all tell you the same thing—never, under any circumstance, ever do anything that could mess up the space-time continuum. And that goes double when it comes to interacting with yourself from the future. Or the past. Or… whenever. All that goes ...

If you long for the 90s—when Euro-set rom-coms were all the rage (Only You, Love Actually, Forget Paris, etc.)—but wished they were infinitely more crass and included a Sliding Doors-esque alternate universe, well… I’m still not sure the Netflix original Love Wedding Repeat would be worth your ...
