Not to name names, but the pressure to deliver an equally impressive sophomore film after an acclaimed directorial debut normally cripples most filmmakers. After Emerald Fennell burst onto the scene in 2020 with the breathtaking Promising Young Woman and waltzed away with a richly deserved Oscar for Best Original Screenplay, all eyes turned to what the writer/director would serve up next. With the deliciously twisted, wildly provocative, and gloriously diabolical. Saltburn, Fennell bucks the trend to offer something as equally stunning and thought-provoking as her first work. Refreshing, naughty,...

Despite only four years passing since her first big-screen adventure and her presence in the behemoths that were Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, it somehow feels like an eternity since we last saw Carol Danvers aka Captain Marvel. Perhaps that's a testament to just how much Marvel Studios content we've consumed in that time. After battling against online trolls and "review bombing," 2019's Captain Marvel stormed to $1.1 billion at the worldwide box office and it seemed a new leader of the MCU had emerged. Rather than immediately throwing...

We are forever blessed that Martin Scorsese is still cranking out a new film every three or four years to remind us why he is a true auteur director. But to craft something at the age of 80 that stands as one of his greatest works to date is rather astonishing. Given his stunning back catalogue, that's a big call to make. Yet, it's entirely apt of a masterpiece so breathtakingly crafted as Killers of the Flower Moon; a perfectly paced epic that's everything cinema should be. Ambitious...

After an Oscar win for Jojo Rabbit and another dalliance with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Taika Waititi is back with a film that attempts to capture the essence of a feel-good sports drama but ultimately falls short of its goal. Despite the potential for a compelling narrative, the heartfelt but flawed and messy Next Goal Wins is marred by weak character development, predictable storytelling, and a lack of emotional depth. Based on the true story of the American Samoa soccer team, who are infamous for suffering the worst defeat in...
