Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) 66% 4/5 EDIT “Anyone hoping for a seismic shift in the overall saga should recalibrate their expectations. Still, this is about the most spectacular spectacle you could ever ask for -- utterly transportive, technically masterful. ” – Empire Magazine Dec 16, 2025 Full Review Caught Stealing (2025) 85% 3/5 EDIT “For the most part, Caught Stealing is a riotous, rollicking ride studded with New York’s concrete grit -- but its sharper edges prove more difficult to endure.” – Empire Magazine Aug 27, 2025 Full Review 28 Years Later (2025) 88% 4/5 EDIT “With 28 Years Later, Boyle and Garland return to breathe thrilling life back into an overexposed genre. There isn’t an obvious choice in sight.” – Empire Magazine Jun 18, 2025 Full Review Deep Cover (2025) 90% 4/5 EDIT “Does Deep Cover work as an improv comedy? Yes, and it delivers strong characterisation, a twisty crime story, and great performances too. End scene.” – Empire Magazine Jun 10, 2025 Full Review Dangerous Animals (2025) 87% 3/5 EDIT “A better-than-average shark movie that won’t change lives but will change your perception of Jai Courtney.” – Empire Magazine Jun 10, 2025 Full Review Fountain of Youth (2025) 35% 2/5 EDIT “Given all the elements involved, Fountain Of Youth should be a blast. That it isn’t is a real disappointment. Maybe best left buried.” – Empire Magazine May 29, 2025 Full Review Freaky Tales (2024) 75% 3/5 EDIT “Freaky Tales never amounts to more than the sum of its parts — but those parts, while uneven, are always high-energy and entertaining.” – Empire Magazine Apr 15, 2025 Full Review G20 (2025) 55% 3/5 EDIT “Not exactly a world leader in the action movie stakes – but entertaining enough, particularly thanks to Viola Davis. ” – Empire Magazine Apr 15, 2025 Full Review O'Dessa (2025) 38% 2/5 EDIT “For all its originality, O’Dessa can’t help but get tangled up in its own mythology, dragged down by a romance that never sizzles.” – Empire Magazine Mar 31, 2025 Full Review The Colors Within (2024) 92% 4/5 EDIT “There’s amazing beauty to be found in Naoko Yamada’s aural odyssey – even when a film about matters of the heart gets a little caught up in its own head.” – Empire Magazine Feb 4, 2025 Full Review You're Cordially Invited (2025) 48% 3/5 EDIT “Not as funny as you’d hope – and yet the emotional character work pays off, right down to a sweet epilogue. Romcom fans should attend.” – Empire Magazine Feb 4, 2025 Full Review The Killer's Game (2024) 46% 2/5 EDIT “Despite a handful of cool moments, The Killer’s Game turns out to be one not worth playing.” – Empire Magazine Feb 4, 2025 Full Review Back in Action (2025) 31% 3/5 EDIT “A solid action-comedy that proves just how much we’ve missed Cameron Diaz in the last ten years. Next time don’t leave it so long, eh?” – Empire Magazine Feb 4, 2025 Full Review Time Cut (2024) 26% 3/5 EDIT “Destined to be forgotten the minute it’s finished, Time Cut is a passable addition to the slash-up genre – acceptable Halloween fare for the fright-challenged, or anyone with a soft spot for the music of Hilary Duff.” – Empire Magazine Nov 6, 2024 Full Review Don't Move (2024) 75% 3/5 EDIT “Pacy thrills are doled out in a solid Sam Raimi-approved pulse-raiser with a few nifty ideas up its sleeve. Shall we try ‘Don’t Smell’ next?” – Empire Magazine Oct 29, 2024 Full Review The 4:30 Movie (2024) 70% 2/5 EDIT “The endearing moments in Kevin Smith’s coming-of-age cinema-fest are weighed down by underwritten comedy. Could have done with being more sweet, less salty. ” – Empire Magazine Sep 18, 2024 Full Review The Deliverance (2024) 34% 2/5 EDIT “Well-intentioned, with a strong performance from Andra Day — but uneven human drama eventually gives way to boringly familiar horror tropes. All around, The Deliverance struggles to deliver.” – Empire Magazine Sep 3, 2024 Full Review Cuckoo (2024) 79% 3/5 EDIT “Cuckoo emerges slightly less than the sum of its parts. But it completes the hat-trick on Dan Stevens' wildest yer. ” – Empire Magazine Aug 23, 2024 Full Review A Quiet Place: Day One (2024) 86% 4/5 EDIT “A solid A Quiet Place entry is elevated by Lupita Nyong’o and Joseph Quinn’s affecting performances -- a surprisingly tender tale of the end of days.” – Empire Magazine Jun 27, 2024 Full Review Under Paris (2024) 64% 3/5 EDIT “A solid shark thriller whose admirable but clunky eco-warnings almost get in the way of a good time. Best when it allows itself to really go in-Seine.” – Empire Magazine Jun 14, 2024 Full Review Unfrosted (2024) 39% 3/5 EDIT “If Pop-Tarts are barely a breakfast, Unfrosted is barely a movie — but it’s sprinkled with solid gags, stuffed with super-silly guest appearances, and lovingly glazed in sweet ’60s trappings.” – Empire Magazine May 3, 2024 Full Review Dune: Part Two (2024) 92% 4/5 EDIT “Another epic helping of sci-fi wildness from Denis Villeneuve that’ll take true believers to paradise — even if it’s a bit too much Spice to digest in one sitting.” – Empire Magazine Feb 21, 2024 Full Review Argylle (2024) 33% 3/5 EDIT “Flashy, fun and light on its feet, Argylle papers over its cracks with twist upon twist — and charming performances from its central duo.” – Empire Magazine Jan 31, 2024 Full Review Night Swim (2024) 19% 4/5 EDIT “Last-act let-down aside, this is a confident and creepy ghoul-in-the-pool horror that makes Bryce McGuire a filmmaker to watch. Wusses, bring armbands.” – Empire Magazine Jan 4, 2024 Full Review The Boy and the Heron (2023) 96% 5/5 EDIT “Don’t call it a comeback — or another retirement. Do call it an astonishing, sumptuous animated fantasy featuring everything you love about one of the greatest filmmakers of all time.” – Empire Magazine Dec 8, 2023 Full Review
