Asteroid City is a kind of curious, desert rose. Beautiful to look at but best left alone unless you can accept its bloom. https://is.gd/qTqGYV

Rather than being a simplistic black comedy, Vengeance has real layers of depth to offer much like Taylor Sheridan’s Hell or High Water. https://is.gd/J5GUdI

Hellraiser 2022 sensibly repositions Pinhead as a consequence of other characters' actions than just being a demon-on-demand. https://is.gd/kfVdhe

Armageddon Time is pointing in the right direction, but it doesn’t earn the right to use The Clash’s ‘Armagideon Time’ by its close. https://is.gd/K2IeG5

Avatar: The Way of Water is even more lustrous and detailed than Avatar before it. As a spectacle, it's without obvious peer or rival. https://is.gd/IDpDZ1

Given it’s subject matter and America’s regrettable lapse back to the middle ages, you could say Call Jane has arrived just in time. https://is.gd/M0Tkpa

So with no Bruce Campbell present is Evil Dead Rise worthy of your wonder or is it a groovy get-thee hence vehicle heading out of town? https://is.gd/xxyPPu

Wakanda Forever is one seriously portentous film, which mercifully doesn't descend to Zak Snyder's Man of Steel's level of brow-furrowing. https://is.gd/Cz9mET

Mission Impossible - Dead Reckoning, Part One needs more than a scary screensaver to make you fear for humanity or Tom Cruise’s bank balance. https://is.gd/dwe01N

“Approved by the comics code authority”, Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse picks up where Spider-Man: Into The Spiderverse broadly left off. Sure, a few years have passed but things are basically the same. Miles Morales is still Spider-Man. He still hasn’t told his folks about it and he’s still fighting crime. However, a new foe has arrived in the shape of The Spot. A being who can straddle the multiverses at will, he’s out to exact revenge on Spider-Man for an act he has yet to commit. Elsewhere Gwen, she of Spider-Gwen fame, is struggling with her uber-determined police chief dad. Intent on bringing Spider-Gwen to justice he is shocked to discover that Gwen is actually Spider-Gwen, all before she skips off into the Spider-verse to do what Spider people do., i.e. thwart crime and spin webs in the different timelines.  So, when https://is.gd/VCdYYR
