28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 93% 4.5/5 EDIT “O’Connell offers up a brilliantly horrifying performance of an opportunistic sadist but also a fervent believer, while hinting that maybe underneath the grinning cruelty is the kernel of the terrified child who never grew up.” – Caution Spoilers Jan 26, 2026 Full Review The Housemaid (2025) 74% 4 EDIT “Fellow Generation Xers might think they’ve been transported back to the heady movie days of the late ’80s and ’90s; Paul Feig’s long, hot thriller is old-fashioned, over-the-top, sexy and screamingly obvious, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.” – Caution Spoilers Jan 18, 2026 Full Review Rope (1948) 93% 4/5 EDIT “An intense and claustrophobic watch. Stewart is both an ambivalent presence and all too human as the prep school teacher of two murderers.” – Caution Spoilers Oct 19, 2025 Full Review The Naked Gun (2025) 87% 4.5/5 EDIT “An absolute hoot, perfectly treading that fine line between pure genius and stunning stupidity.” – Caution Spoilers Oct 5, 2025 Full Review The Roses (2025) 64% 3/5 EDIT “Colman and Cumberbatch look to be having a ball though they don't convince as a married couple. Still because of the subject matter we'll never know if they lack chemistry or they’re simply really good at pretending to have been married for 15 years.” – Caution Spoilers Sep 19, 2025 Full Review Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale (2025) 91% 3/5 EDIT “I can attest that you don’t need to have seen any of the show’s 52 episodes to (a) work out who’s who and (b) thoroughly enjoy this whole ridiculous shebang. You could probably do it on the memes alone.” – Caution Spoilers Sep 14, 2025 Full Review Jurassic World Rebirth (2025) 50% 4/5 EDIT “Take the best Jurassic Park film (yes I mean no 3), add some Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle seasoning, a sprinkling of Jaws and a good slosh of Alien Resurrection, and what you get is Gareth Edwards’ glorious summer romp.” – Caution Spoilers Jul 20, 2025 Full Review 28 Years Later (2025) 88% 5/5 EDIT “A beautiful and sometimes nerve-shredding film about Britain, who we are and how we see ourselves. Even the zombies have developed a class system.” – Caution Spoilers Jul 5, 2025 Full Review Fire of Love (2022) 98% 3.5/5 EDIT “The abundance of the Kraffts' own extraordinary film footage does mean this feels like a documentary made very much on their terms, even though they’ve been dead for over 30 years.” – Caution Spoilers Mar 23, 2025 Full Review ClearMind (2024) 100% 4/5 EDIT “An intriguing, darkly funny thriller, this snappy ensemble indie asks how we can move on from tragedy, and also why are we so scared of women who have every right to be sad.” – Caution Spoilers Mar 9, 2025 Full Review Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy (2025) 88% 4/5 EDIT “Relatable though Zellweger still is as Bridget, the star of the show is Hugh Grant, who is, as always nowadays, hilarious. He has already out-acted two British icons – Bridget and Paddington – so just make him the next Bond villain and have done with it.” – Caution Spoilers Mar 8, 2025 Full Review Alien: Romulus (2024) 80% 4/5 EDIT “Seven films into this franchise, Alien: Romulus manages to be both terrifying and comforting; the audience revisiting their haunted childhood home, relieved to be tucked up in their old bed even if it does levitate. ” – Caution Spoilers Mar 8, 2025 Full Review Better Man (2024) 89% 4.5/5 EDIT “If you’re worried Robbie Williams as a chimp will be distracting, it soon seems not so much off-the-wall as necessary. His story is brutal but it’s also common; how else to get people’s attention? ” – Caution Spoilers Feb 10, 2025 Full Review Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975) 92% 5/5 EDIT “Doing for bunnies what Benchley and Spielberg did for Great Whites, Holy Grail is still a hoot - a meandering delight that also firmly skewers the genial pointlessness of quests and kingship, medieval myth-making, and much more.” – Caution Spoilers Apr 5, 2024 Full Review Madame Web (2024) 10% 2/5 EDIT “Not great but not the worst film ever made, and I didn’t even have to award a consolation star for the cat. ” – Caution Spoilers Feb 25, 2024 Full Review Dagr (2024) 60% 4/5 EDIT “Blair Witch meets AbFab as found footage collides with fashion darlings giving overpriced clothes the Jean-Luc Goddard treatment. Moritz and Duckles are terrific as a pair of supremely confident, if breathtakingly naive, ethical YouTubers.” – Caution Spoilers Feb 10, 2024 Full Review 65 (2023) 35% 3/5 EDIT “It was the worst of times, it was the end of times. For the characters anyway. Not as bad I had heard, 65 is improved by the performances and also the constant pummelling that pre-historic Earth doles out to poor old Mills. ” – Caution Spoilers Jan 21, 2024 Full Review Saltburn (2023) 72% 3/5 EDIT “Emerald Fennell's definition of subtlety is bashing us over the head with a small Le Creuset frying pan rather than one of their massive casserole pots.” – Caution Spoilers Jan 19, 2024 Full Review The Boys in the Boat (2023) 57% 3/5 EDIT “While Clooney’s Oscar-eyeing earnestness leaves much of the film plodding, it is spectacularly saved by the race scenes, which are both riveting and exhilarating. ” – Caution Spoilers Jan 13, 2024 Full Review A Haunting in Venice (2023) 76% 3.5/5 EDIT “Enjoyably melodramatic and nicely unnerving, though the tendency to shoot from above and at odd angles becomes headache-inducing, especially when one is trying to work out whodunnit (or indeed woohoodunnit). Camille Cottin and Emma Laird are stand-outs.” – Caution Spoilers Jan 1, 2024 Full Review Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One (2023) 96% 3/5 EDIT “Overlong if enjoyably bonkers, there's also an undercurrent of chaos, with bits of key turning up everywhere; at times it felt like there were enough for everyone to have a spare set. ” – Caution Spoilers Oct 27, 2023 Full Review Meg 2: The Trench (2023) 27% 2/5 EDIT “There's an enjoyable disdain for empathy as extras get munched, though mostly it's just not that exciting, and B movie tropes that should evoke knowing enjoyment seem simply dull. The green-washing makes it worthy, if not see-worthy.” – Caution Spoilers Oct 26, 2023 Full Review The Bounty Hunter (2010) 13% 2.5/5 EDIT “Overlong, trope-filled and derivative, there’s still an endearing charm to Milo’s puppyish dimwittery — and it boasts a proper movie villain, who with his chiselled cheekbones and air of real menace looks like an evil Max Headroom (ask your A.I. nan)” – Caution Spoilers Jun 3, 2023 Full Review One True Loves (2023) 29% 3/5 EDIT “A slight, slushy yet just-endearing-enough romcom. It does look like an old-fashioned TV movie though, and the flashback to the world’s windiest wedding reception, everyone trying to ignore the waving gazebo, doesn’t help.” – Caution Spoilers Apr 8, 2023 Full Review John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023) 94% 4.5/5 EDIT “Deadly serious yet madly entertaining, John Wick Chapter 4 offers up a stream of astonishing, sometimes numbing battles broken up by aphorisms. Its callbacks to the first film reveal a man who can never escape his past or his path.” – Caution Spoilers Mar 26, 2023 Full Review
