Captain Phillips (2013) 93% 4.5/5 EDIT “Exhausting and thrilling, Captain Phillips earns its impact through sheer immediacy, placing you on the deck, in the hold, and inside the rising panic. Greengrass and his team deliver an intensely immersive experience.” – Screen Realm Jan 24, 2026 Full Review Primate (2025) 79% 3.5/5 EDIT “It doesn’t fully juice its best ideas, but does deliver enough blood, craft, and energy to satisfy genre fans.” – Screen Realm Jan 24, 2026 Full Review Marty Supreme (2025) 93% 4/5 EDIT “Safdie’s command of escalation keeps the film consistently engaging, and Chalamet’s intensity gives Marty a jagged unpredictability that makes it a journey well worth taking.” – Screen Realm Jan 20, 2026 Full Review The Rip (2026) 80% 4/5 EDIT “A gritty, well-performed thriller driven by palpable pressure and distrust. It’s not a film to dissect, but it’s a satisfying watch if you’re after something tense, mean, and contained.” – Screen Realm Jan 18, 2026 Full Review No Other Choice (2025) 97% 3.5/5 EDIT “May not be Park Chan-wook at his tightest, but it’s still a compelling, entertaining watch. Even when it overreaches, it does so with confidence, craft, and a dark sense of humour.” – Screen Realm Jan 16, 2026 Full Review Hamnet (2025) 86% 5/5 EDIT “I found myself floored by individual moments, struck by its quiet beauty and poetic touch, and undone by its unguarded honesty when confronting death and the echoes it leaves behind.” – Screen Realm Dec 28, 2025 Full Review The Great Gatsby (2013) 49% 3.5/5 EDIT “The craft on display — both behind and in front of the camera — is undeniable. Fans of Luhrmann’s signature flair will find plenty to enjoy, but the emotional core sometimes gets lost beneath all that glitter.” – Screen Realm Dec 11, 2025 Full Review Nuremberg (2025) 72% 4/5 EDIT “Nuremberg plays as a compelling, accessible historical drama with strong central performances and a clear, if sometimes overstated, sense of purpose.” – Screen Realm Dec 8, 2025 Full Review Evil Dead Rise (2023) 85% 4/5 EDIT “A slickly crafted and gleefully mean chapter of this long-running franchise. The high shock factor is made palatable (somewhat?) with a devilish sense of humour, and the film’s demonically spirited energy makes for a strong pace. ” – Screen Realm Dec 1, 2025 Full Review Dead of Winter (2025) 75% 3/5 EDIT “Just enough thrills and feeling to make for a solid enough watch... A lighter touch with the sentimentality would have helped, while a bit more ambition on the action front might have lifted it further.” – Screen Realm Nov 28, 2025 Full Review No Hard Feelings (2023) 71% 3/5 EDIT “No Hard Feelings is certainly flaccid in some areas, but it does manage to stand up with the strength of its two stars and an earnest, breezy charm. It gets the job done.” – Screen Realm Nov 27, 2025 Full Review Wonder Woman (2017) 93% 4/5 EDIT “Wonder Woman is solid entertainment. It’s a lively, emotional, exciting superhero film carrying a level of optimism we could all use right now.” – Screen Realm Nov 27, 2025 Full Review The Running Man (2025) 62% 3/5 EDIT “This could have been sharper, more focused, more creative. What we’re left with is a fun, if frustratingly uneven, pursuit that never quite turns its sprint into a proper rush.” – Screen Realm Nov 14, 2025 Full Review Predator: Badlands (2025) 86% 4/5 EDIT “Badlands may be the cuddliest Predator yet, but it still moves, still invents, and still finds sharp ways to kill. It’s a confident tonal recalibration that widens the universe, while inevitably softening a measure of the franchise’s chill.” – Screen Realm Nov 7, 2025 Full Review Good Fortune (2025) 78% 2.5/5 EDIT “Harmless, occasionally sweet, but the humour is too gentle, the ideas too cautious, and the uplift never quite soars. Keanu Reeves gives the film its glow; the rest ambles along in his light.” – Screen Realm Nov 1, 2025 Full Review Happyend (2024) 98% 3/5 EDIT “Measured and occasionally piercing in how it mirrors now... As an allegory of complicity and control, its intentions are clear; the execution needs a stronger quickening of the pulse.” – Screen Realm Oct 30, 2025 Full Review The Past (2013) 92% 4.5/5 EDIT “Potent filmmaking: a multi-layered analysis of pain and love, and how they can bind us together or pull us apart. Farhadi infuses the film with a strong sense of character and emotional depth, culminating in a final moment you won’t shake in a hurry.” – Screen Realm Oct 29, 2025 Full Review American Animals (2018) 88% 4/5 EDIT “Despite flirting with overlength by the time the credits roll, American Animals is a deft, highly entertaining blend of heist film and documentary.” – Screen Realm Oct 24, 2025 Full Review Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (2025) 61% 3.5/5 EDIT “Certain moments grab you, while other sections drift. It never collapses, yet there are stretches thin on incident as you wait for a musical spark or a deeper crack in Bruce’s armour, something to pull us a layer closer.” – Screen Realm Oct 23, 2025 Full Review Black Phone 2 (2025) 72% 2.5/5 EDIT “It has ideas, style, and a willingness to push into new territory. But the messy script, uneven tone, and diminished Grabber keep it from matching the first film’s chill.” – Screen Realm Oct 18, 2025 Full Review Good Boy (2025) 90% 3.5/5 EDIT “The story is slight and the scares are modest, yet the perspective is distinctive, the craft careful, and the canine lead carries it.” – Screen Realm Oct 1, 2025 Full Review A Quiet Place (2018) 96% 5/5 EDIT “A Quiet Place is the type of film that comes with every piece calibrated for maximum effect, demanding that you watch, silently, as it all plays out. This, simply put, is brilliant filmmaking.” – Screen Realm Sep 27, 2025 Full Review A Quiet Place Part II (2021) 91% 4.5/5 EDIT “Krasinski skirts the Hollywood trend to simply go bigger and louder with the sequel, and instead confidently introduces us to slices of the wider world while keeping the story firmly character-driven, and still intimate. Bring on Part III.” – Screen Realm Sep 27, 2025 Full Review The Long Walk (2025) 88% 4/5 EDIT “An impactful, bleak journey with a pulse. Director Francis Lawrence adapts Stephen King’s anti-war allegory with clear purpose, building on a brutally simple conceit—keep moving or die—while still finding small pockets of warmth and wry humour.” – Screen Realm Sep 7, 2025 Full Review The Conjuring: Last Rites (2025) 58% 3/5 EDIT “ You can feel the film reaching for a “full circle” resonance, and on the character front it mostly finds it; the scare engine, however, runs on recycled parts.” – Screen Realm Sep 6, 2025 Full Review
