  I’m not an F1 fan, but this film had me hooked from start to finish. The racing sequences are genuinely exhilarating, packed with tension and shot mostly using practical effects. This results in some truly breathtaking camera work that puts you right in the driver’s seat. Beyond the action, the film delivers an engaging and well-acted drama that keeps the momentum going off the track. The pacing is spot-on, striking a satisfying balance between character-driven scenes and high-octane races, so it never drags. Brad Pitt, Javier Bardem, Damson Idris, and Kerry Condon all give strong performances, adding depth to a story that might otherwise feel overly familiar. Hans Zimmer’s score amplifies the thrill, enhancing both the emotional beats and the on-track intensity. Yes, the plot is formulaic and leans heavily on well-worn tropes, it’s predictable and doesn’t take many creative risks. But honestly, I didn’t mind. I came in hoping for a fun, fast-paced racing movie, and...

  Josh Hartnett gets high and then mows people with a Chainsaw so I would definitely say there is merit in watching for that alone!

  28 Years Later is one of the most iconic horror movies. Danny Boyle and Alex Garland created something truly unique in the genre at the time. Unfortunately, they didn’t return for the sequel, 28 Weeks Later. While not as great as the first, that film is entertaining enough in its own right and it features one of the best intros in a horror movie ever. Now, 18 years after the last entry, we finally have a third installment. It took so long that it skipped 28 Months and went straight to Years. Danny Boyle returns to direct, and Alex Garland returns to write this new entry. But the question is: Does 28 Years Later live up to the long-standing hype, or was it better left in the past? The first thing you’ll notice is the impressive cast. Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jodie Comer, and Ralph Fiennes all deliver strong performances. Aaron is well-cast as an experienced hunter and a father who shows tough love to his son. Jodie convincingly portrays a mother battling illness, while ...

  John Wick is one of my favourite modern action franchises. John Wick: Chapter 4 is easily one of my favourite action movies of all time and served as a satisfying conclusion, as far as I was concerned. Ballerina is the first spinoff in this universe, and I definitely had some concerns going in. The first red flag was the director, Len Wiseman. Known for Underworld, Live Free or Die Hard, and that awful Total Recall remake, he wasn’t someone I had full confidence in. Then the film got delayed by an entire year, and Chad Stahelski, the director of the John Wick movies, reportedly stepped in for reshoots. So the question is: does Ballerina stick the landing, or was this franchise best left alone? First off, Ana de Armas, who plays the lead role of Eve Macarro, is terrific! She showed great action potential in her limited screen time in the James Bond film No Time to Die (2021). Here, with a full two-hour runtime, she gets to truly showcase her action chops, and she abs...

  Novocaine has a fun concept, with the main character, Nate, living with CIPA, a condition that prevents him from feeling pain. For the most part, the movie makes good use of this premise. During the action scenes, Nate does unconventional things, like putting his hand in a deep fryer or grabbing a scorching hot pan. These moments lead to some entertaining action sequences. Beyond that, though, the film doesn’t offer much else. The plot is bare-bones, the characters are uninteresting, and the romance feels weak. Still, if you’re in the mood for a light, popcorn flick, this is a pretty decent watch.
