Undertone (2025) Dir: Ian Tuason
Instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DXZQSLbDQ5S/?igsh=M3EyZXJ6ZHNiNmV6 This A24 produced supernatural horror film, directed by Ian Tuason, originally debuted in July of 2025, but, as is almost always the case, didn't get a theatrical releases until months later. It didn't blow critics away, but its premise still intrigued me to a degree, enough for me to use a free cinema ticket to go and see it, at the very least. Even so, it seemed sensible to keep fairly low expect

WrestleMania 42: Night 2 (2026)
After a solid, if slightly patchy, first night of the 2026 edition of the greatest spectacle in wrestling, Night 2 looked to better that with, on paper at least, a much stronger matchcard. There were potential Mania classics up and down the card, and I was itching to see them all unfold. Night 1 was good - definitely better than expected - but it was bogged down by an extremely annoying amount of adverts. I knew Night 2 would be the same way, but at least the matches looked s

Copycat (1995) Dir: Jon Amiel
Instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DXWs5dSjRA4/?igsh=cHJpZnIzY28zcG1q As someone who also takes interest in true crime cases and the psychology behind them, I always like to see if I can find a good crime thriller to watch, particularly if it has a detective point of view. This 1995 thriller, directed by Jon Amiel, looked like it would meet the requirements, and having Sigourney Weaver in your cast can never hurt. The reviews are pretty down the middle, but so are pl

WWE WrestleMania 42: Night 1 (2026)
WrestleMania is the biggest wrestling event on the planet every year, but this year's event, which took place in Las Vegas for the second year in a row, had featured one of the most lukewarm and weird build-ups to grandest show that I can recall ever seeing. This first night's matchcard was a lot weaker than Night 2's on paper, but that gave me a sneaking suspicion that those on this first night would feel that they had a point to prove. After a surprisingly emotional introdu

Demon Slayer: The Entertainment District Arc (2021) Cre: Koyoharu Gotouge
As I arrived at the third 'Demon Slayer' arc, known as 'The Entertainment District Arc' , I had well and truly become a fan of the popular anime series. Historically, I have not been a major watcher of animes, but there are a few that I have enjoyed, including this one, and more still that I hoped to watch in the future. Before I started any new ones, however, I was understandably very keen to watch the rest of 'Demon Slayer' . Much like the previous two arcs, this one was

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (2024) Dir: Gil Kenan
Instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DXRZgXlDdAX/?igsh=MThteHd6eDh4M2c0 For such an iconic film franchise, 'Ghostbusters' has produced some pretty mediocre films, with the exception of the original, of course. This 2024 sequel, the most recent entry into the franchise, was directed by Gil Kenan, and did not receive particularly positive reviews upon release, which, I must admit, disappointed me quite a bit after the relatively enjoyable 'Afterlife', which preceeded it

Mark Kermode's Surround Sound (2025) By Mark Kermode
Mark Kermode is one of the most recognisable names in film criticism and academia, and has been in or around the industry for decades. As such, he has built up a vast wealth of knowledge on various aspects of it, with one of them being film soundtracks - one of his biggest industry passions. It was this mix of knowledge and passion that I hoped to find in his latest book, which promised a wide array of information on the sound of cinema. Immediately, I found that Kermode's pe

Blue Velvet (1986) Dir: David Lynch
Instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DXMSvyCjcUv/?igsh=MXBoZDE3OGtiYTkxeQ== As I have traversed the weird and the wonderful that is the filmography of the iconic David Lynch, I have come to appreciate his abilities as a filmmaker tremendously. His characterisation, love of mystery, and commitment to create dreamlike, wacky, and altogether immersive narratives, is something every cinephile and aspiring filmmaker should explore and learn from. This 1986 film is often tou
