2.5/5
Anaconda (2025) David Griffiths While Anaconda is a film that will make you laugh it is best described as a forgettable film. If you haven’t seen the original and just want a laugh then the film is passable but if you a fan of the original this one might leave you a little disappointed.

3.5/5
Bitter Desire (2025) David Griffiths Shows that even with indie cinema a film can be creative and intense. The low budget adds to the realism of the film and we see some great acting performances from Shar Dee and Nathan Hill.

Super Happy Fun Clown (2025) David Griffiths Proves that there is still room for an old-fashioned horror in the modern horror landscape. Patrick Rea shows he should be directing the new Blumhouse release while Jennifer Seward's performance should make her a horror icon.

Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) David Griffiths One of the most beautiful movies you will ever see. The film is at its best when it focuses on the the characters themselves but is let down by a 'recycled' last act.

Train Dreams (2025) David Griffiths One of the most beautiful films you are likely to see in 2025. The amazing screenplay is only surpassed by the brilliant acting performance by Joel Edgerton.

The History of Sound (2025) David Griffiths A fairly ordinary screenplay is saved by the performances of Mescal and O'Connor. Fascinating enough film but it feels like it could have gone a lot further.

3.5/5
Zootopia 2 (2025) David Griffiths Zootopia 2 is a well-written and funny film that is bound to entertain audiences of all ages. All the characters you know and love are back and like the original film this is a movie that can be watched over and over without ever getting stale.

The Smashing Machine (2025) David Griffiths This could be an award winner for Dwayne Johnson. This well-written film turns out to be the perfect vehicle to show that there is more to Johnson’s acting career than he has ever showed us before.

3/5
One Battle After Another (2025) David Griffiths At times One Battle After Another does make some poignant remarks on modern day American society but those moments are few and far in-between in a movie that is over-bloated and seems to dangerously lose its way at times.

Bugonia (2025) David Griffiths While predictable Bugonia is a film made increasingly better by a well-written screenplay and remarkable performances from its three leads.

4/5
Good Fortune (2025) David Griffiths A brilliant comedy that does the one thing that so many comedies forget to do these days - makes its audience laugh. This is probably the best comedy you will see this year and has standout performances from all of its leads.

3.5/5
Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) David Griffiths Overcomes some poor screenwriting at times to become a decent, dark thriller. This is the kind of film I have been expecting from Rian Johnson for a long time and boy does he deliver.

4.5/5
Frankenstein (2025) David Griffiths A beautiful, beautiful film. The amazing Gothic landscape on view if every scene is only made better by a film score that is a must have for every serious collector.

4/5
The Perfect Neighbor (2025) David Griffiths A brilliant documentary. It has no agenda, takes no sides and instead does what a documentary should do and presents the facts to the audience as they play out.

3/5
The Strangers: Chapter 2 (2025) David Griffiths Better than Chapter 1 and somehow manages to capture that magical feel of the 1990s slasher films. While not completely creative does more than enough to engage.

3/5
The Strangers: Chapter 1 (2024) David Griffiths A decent slasher flick but does leave more questions than answers - but hopefully those questions will be answered in the follow-up films.

4/5
Wicked: For Good (2025) David Griffiths Wicked: For Good does have some weak points, such as what feels like a rushed ending, but aside from that it has a strong storyline, memorable performances and becomes a perfect companion piece for The Wizard Of Oz.

2.5/5
Wicked (2024) David Griffiths Does do some things right but its need to try and appeal to a younger audience does trip it up at times. Still the last quarter of the film does offer a glimmer of hope for Part Two so let’s hope the next trip over the rainbow has a little more promise.

Familiar Touch (2024) David Griffiths While this is a beautifully written film that shows the frustrations of living with memory loss it is a hard film to recommend because it is such a difficult watch.

3.5/5
The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) David Griffiths The Fantastic Four: First Steps is a true comic book film with heart. Characterisation is an important part of this movie working so well and the old style action sequences work wonders as well.

I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025) David Griffiths While I Know What You Did Last Summer may not be of the best horrors of this year it does more than enough to fulfill the excitement of fans of the past while also impressing new generation fans as well.

3.5/5
Kangaroo (2025) David Griffiths A beautiful family film that manages to take its audience on an emotional journey. You'll laugh, you'll cry but more importantly you'll learn a valuable lesson that will have you re-evaluating your own life.

4/5
The Long Walk (2025) David Griffiths The Long Walk is not always an easy watch but it is well worth it. The brilliantly written screenplay is brought alive by a talented young cast and makes this not only a must see but one of the best thrillers you will see this year.

We Bury the Dead (2024) David Griffiths Just when you thought nothing original could come to the zombie genre director Zak Hilditch proves that wrong with the brilliant We Bury The Dead. Strong performances from Thwaites, Ridley and Smith grouped together with an intriguing screenplay work well

3.5/5
The Toxic Avenger (2023) David Griffiths Everything that needs to be there is there to pay tribute to the original - it's funny, it's violent and Peter Dinklage is great. What the film lacks though is a decent storyline though so some may be disappointed.

4.5/5
The Naked Gun (2025) David Griffiths If you plan on going to see The Naked Gun be prepared to laugh like you have never laughed before. This is a film that is literally a laugh a minute and is not afraid to bring back the type of edgy comedy that many thought was gone from Hollywood forever.

2.5/5
Nobody 2 (2025) David Griffiths Take the premise of National Lampoon’s Family Vacation and mix it with raw, comedic action of The Fall Guy and you basically sum up what Nobody 2 is really about. Nielsen might be wasted here but at least it looks like Odenkirk and Lloyd had fun.

3.5/5
In the Lost Lands (2025) David Griffiths While the film will not appeal to those looking for something arty there is more than enough about it to draw in those that like creative action fantasy films. Let's hope we can delve back into this world sometime soon.

4/5
Red Sonja (2025) David Griffiths While the storyline of Red Sonja maybe a little simple in nature the film itself, led by an intriguing character, does more than enough to cement itself as one of the better comic book movies of this year. Let’s hope a sequel is not far off.

4/5
Primitive War (2025) David Griffiths Further proof that Luke Sparke is one of the best Australian directors going around at the moment. This film shouldn't work - its premise is crazy - yet somehow it does. It becomes an enjoyable action-horror that is filled with creativity.

Weapons (2025) David Griffiths At times Weapons is a smart thriller but at other times the screenplay becomes lazy and has way too many plot holes.

4.5/5
When Fall Is Coming (2024) David Griffiths A brilliantly written, slow-paced thriller that constantly has its audience trying to work out what was deliberate and what was an accident. The cast bring their A -Game to a film that is one of the best you will see this year.

Bride Hard (2025) David Griffiths Rebel Wilson is horribly miscast in a film that tries to be an action and tries to be comedy but somehow fails at both. Bad green screen and a script that becomes unfunny by the credits just finishes it off.

2.5/5
Smurfs (2025) David Griffiths When you see Papa Smurf DJ'ing you realise the team here know nothing about the original Smurfs at all. Too many songs, not enough plot and a bad attempt to re-invent Smurf folklore results in a real mess.

Elio (2025) David Griffiths A brave film for Pixar to try and pull off as, let's be honest, it deals with the deep topic of youth suicide. The film works beautifully and hopefully will remind young people how fun life can be.

4/5
Superman (2025) David Griffiths Gunn delivers what DC fans have wanted for a long time. A well-written, emotionally driven film that doesn't backtrack over the origin story too much. The fact he brings some lesser known DC characters shows the studio maybe back on track.

3.5/5
Jurassic World Rebirth (2025) David Griffiths Being a huge fan of Monsters I did expect Gareth Edwards to do a lot more with a Jurassic World movie but still I didn’t leave the cinema disappointed. If you go into Jurassic World: Rebirth expecting a simple human vs dinosaur movie you will be happy.

4/5
28 Years Later (2025) David Griffiths 28 Years Later is a stunning visceral experience. The fact that it also concludes some elements of the plot while leaving some questions unanswered for the next film shows once again why Alex Garland is the best screenwriter this generation has.

The Shrouds (2024) David Griffiths Takes a long time to get nowhere but is saved by brilliant performances by Vincent Cassel, Diane Kruger and Guy Pearce saves the film.

F1 The Movie (2025) David Griffiths This is not just an event this is a piece of cinematic history. In a time when many say that cinema has lost its creativity what Kosinski, Pitt and Idris have put themselves through to bring this move to an audience is nothing short of a miracle.

M3GAN 2.0 (2025) David Griffiths Lazy screenwriting and an unnecessarily convoluted plot leads to a dull film that only saves any face with the odd laugh here and there.

Hurry Up Tomorrow (2025) David Griffiths Not being a fan of The Weekend's music I wasn't sure what to expect here. I certainly didn't expect a stylish artistic film that captures the feeling of anxiety to a tee with a twist that hits with a punch.

Flight Risk (2025) David Griffiths A smart little thriller that forces Wahlberg, Dockery and Grace to be on the top of their game from start to finish. Doesn't reach any great heights but certainly holds your interest throughout.

3.5/5
Den of Thieves: Pantera (2025) David Griffiths While completely different to the original film there is still something to like about Pantera. It's sleek at seems to want to follow in the footsteps of The Fast & The Furious although the fact that Big Nick feels like a cliche this time is annoying.

3.5/5
The Priests 2: Dark Nuns (2025) David Griffiths If you are expecting a film that fills the Hollywood exorcism cliches than this isn’t the film for you. If you are looking for a well-written supernatural thriller that throws in some deep thought-provoking questions then you have come to the right place.

Holy Night: Demon Hunters (2025) David Griffiths It certainly isn't a perfect film but it is creative and a hell lot of fun to watch. So many films these days try to go down the dark and moody road - it is good for a change to watch an action film that is all about fun.

Flow (2024) David Griffiths A beautiful story that is matched by its visuals. This is the perfect animated film and can only be described as a masterpiece.

Heart Eyes (2025) David Griffiths Tries its hardest to mix comedy with horror but ultimately the comedy overshadows the horror and just becomes plain ridiculous.

How to Train Your Dragon (2025) David Griffiths This is how to do a live action remake - stay true to the original while allowing the cast to be able to bring true emotion to the film. I felt all the magic I experienced watching Avatar for the first time return as I watched.
Posted Jun 12, 2025  Edit critic review
3/5
The Phoenician Scheme (2025) David Griffiths Has Wes Anderson run out of fresh ideas? The Phoenician Scheme suggests that perhaps he has. The comedy makes you laugh time to time but for the most part the film feels repetitive and tired.
