  This story is more true than you'd think beckons this movie as it begins and that couldn't be more true as Wicked Little Letters has quite the story to tell. Right off the bat the level of swearing and profanity on show here is not for the faint of heart. Olivia Colman and Jessie Buckley lead the charge as two women from two completely different backgrounds. Colman a secluded and God whorshipping who lives with her parents while Buckley an Irish immigrant now living in the UK after the death of her husband in the war. Their relationship takes a sour turn when letters filled with vulgur language begin to appear at Colman's doorstep every morning which her mother and father take immense offence to.  The letters don't seem to be stopping and even more get them so it's off to the police to report what is going on and it takes a turn for the worst for Buckley's character after she is seemingly charged with the offence of both writing and distributing these letters....

  After the disaster that was Morbius Sony is back with another attempt at it's seemingly never ending attempt to create their own universe of villains turned anti-hero projects the latest Madame Web is not a good step in the right direction however. Now first off let me begin by saying that Madame Web has one of the worst villains I think I've ever seen. His motivations are dumb, his acting is horrendous and as a whole he just did not work whatsoever. There's also some very strange moments where it's like he is speaking but his lips aren't even moving which was so odd that it really took me out of the movie. There is some positives here and while they are few and far between I will say that Dakota Johnson is actually okay here..kinda. I mean she's not great or anything but she does do okay with the script given to her.  Y'know Madame Web as a whole is just uninteresting and not thought provkoing whatsoever. It's really bland and forgetable which is the ...

  Henry Cavill's first big movie post Superman and The Witcher is a super spy thriller unlike any other you'll see all year long. Sporting a pretty stellar cast including Henry Cavill, Sam Rockwell, Bryce Dallas Howard, John Cena, Dua Lipa and more Argylle tells the story of well..Argylle a super spy who is on the trail of something called the master file that will aid in helping him and his team bring down an entire orginization. There's just one problem. Argylle is actually just a character in a series of books penned by someone named Elly Conway (Dalls Howard) who at the beginning of the movie is working on her fifth book in the Argylle series. Her life is turned upside down when life imitates art as the world of spies and espionage come crushing down all around her. That's about as much as I can say when it comes to the story as anything further would be pretty much in the spoiler zone.  Directed by Matthew Vaughn Argylle is highly entertaining and wildly chaotic. T...

  I'm a big professional wrestling fan. Have been for a long time now, so when the tale of the Von Erich family was going to be adpated into a feature length film best believe I'd be there seeing it on the biggest screen possible. Fast forward some time and I was lucky enough to see The Iron Claw a week before release. Starring Zac Efron who puts in a career best performance here The Iron Claw follows the tragic, hearbreaking story of the Von Erich family consisting of four brothers all chasing their dreams of becoming professional wrestlers just like their father.  Being a fan of wrestling makes this movie incredibly satisfying in a way as you're able to immediately point out and know exactly who and what is taking place before your eyes. Names like Harley Race and Ric Flair are legendary in their own right and seeing them being showcased was thrilling. The sport of wrestling is truly unforgiving and needs to something you dedicate your entire body to and that's what t...

  From director Alexander Payne comes The Holdovers a movie about family, friendship and what can become of someone once they get to know someone just like them. Alexander Payne has some top notch movies under his belt so I was really interested to see this and boy did it' not disappoint. The Holders follows a instructor at a prep school who stays behind at Christmas break to babysit a few members of school kids who were left behind with nowhere to go for the holidays. After all but one end up leaving he strikes up a bond with the remaining school student that is genuinely believable and heartwarming.  Performance wise The Holdovers is as good as it gets really with Paul Giamatti putting in a pitch perfect performance as the prep school instructor. He is full of knowledge and boastful but deep down he has a lot of emotion and feelings that burst out as the movie goes on. Everyone else does a stand up job too in a movie that is very simple but oh so good like a bowl of hot soup...

  20 years on from the original Mean Gitls movie this new version is nothing like that as it is based on the broadway musical that is based on the original movie. It's a tad confusing and not what you'd expect if you just decided to go and see this. The story follows pretty much the same formula. New girl arrives at school from living aboard, new girl becomes friends with the so called most popular girls in school or as they're know ''Plastics'' and soon her life begins to imitate theirs. It's nothing we haven't seen before sure but done here in a musical style that while at times cringe worthy felt a little bit fresh and fun.  Performance wise Mean Girls (2024) is pretty solid. Renee Rap steals the show as Regina George. After all she knows the character more than anyone given she played her on broadway. The transition from broadway star to movie star is pretty seemless to be honest as she plays the character with so much sass and sexyness. The rest...

  After the success of The Favorite Emma Stone once again teams up with Director Yorgos Lathimos for what is already in the running for my movie of 2024 and it's only January. May sound silly but this movie truly is a spectacle to behold. From the opening moment I was hooked on this movie's style, energy and feeling of unsteadyness. Poor Things follows the story of a woman being brought back to life by a scientist after he finds her lifeless body. Pregnant and dead he takes the brain out of her dead child and places it into hers thus creating a child in a woman's body so to speak. It's a twisted tale of Frankenstein and one that is utterly captivating as it is revolting in parts. Performance wise it really doesn't get better than Poor Things. Emma Stone is on top form in a performance that almost 24 hours later I am still thinking about. It is raw, emotional and very complex. Her manner of speaking is both that of a child and a sophistaced woman all rolled into one....
