Sigh. These all had to start with a great original.
Go and watch Hoppers.

TimothΓ©e Chalamet is currently the favourite to win this year's Best Actor Oscar. But where does he place in my personal ranking of the 2026 nominees?

Apologies, the reference went totally over my head π€¦π»ββοΈ I respect his decision - four is too many!
I guess Ida and the Bride could be seen as one character but I saw them as two!
As much as I love Jessie Buckley, three characters are just too many for one person #TheBride. Full review now on @missflicks.bsky.social!
Pixar's latest animation Hoppers is inventive, heartfelt and laugh-out-loud funny. I loved the message about protecting animals and their habitats. An entertaining film for all the family. In cinemas Friday.

In the Blink of an Eye wants to tell a profound, existential story about the ups and downs of the human experience. I can see the vision but the result is a messy and often dull slog. Yet despite that, I still found myself moved towards the end!

The Oscar-nominated SirΓ’t is more of an experience than a traditional film, with trance music soundtracking a treacherous journey through the desert. I appreciated the vision and the shocking moments, but I needed more story and character depth.

Amanda Seyfried should have been nominated for her fearless performance in The Testament of Ann Lee. The film itself is weird, ambitious and certainly won't be for everyone but I really liked it (until a certain point). In cinemas tomorrow.

Charli XCX's mockumentary The Moment will not be for everyone, but I'm very much its target audience. I had a blast with this. It has a superb sense of humour, lots of interesting things to say, and Charli has no problem poking fun at herself.

Cold Storage is a fun horror comedy that needed some more laughs. Joe Keery, Georgina Campbell and Liam Neeson are entertaining and the infection scenes are suitably gross, but it's not quite good enough. In cinemas now.

Wasteman is a gritty, gripping and violent prison drama starring the excellent David Jonsson and Tom Blyth. What an intense final act! What a debut from Cal McMau! In cinemas Friday.

If I Had Legs I'd Kick You: I came away from this stressful experience with a headache and I don't think it was a coincidence! Rose Byrne's Oscar is well and truly deserved. In cinemas Friday.

The Secret Agent has the unfortunate distinction of being my least favourite Best Picture Oscar nominee this year. It's not bad, it's just not for me. It's too long, it doesn't focus on the main narrative and the title is misleading. In cinemas Friday.

Whistle is a cursed object horror starring Dafne Keen and Sophie Nelisse. There are some brilliantly inventive and gory death sequences, but the rest of the film lacks originality and ticks off many horror tropes. In cinemas now.

The score is so good! Much better than the songs in my opinion!
Didn't expect to see Finch pop up in this week's The Beauty!
I liked Emerald Fennell's take on Wuthering Heights more than the majority. It's not perfect, it's not a faithful adaptation of the book and the emotional depth is inconsistent, but it is visually astounding and I was moved by it. Alison Oliver steals the show.

Eternity, a quirky rom-com starring Elizabeth Olsen, is also hitting streaming this weekend. I really loved the premise, and Olsen is sensational, but it runs out of steam towards the end. On Apple TV now.

Sentimental Value is streaming on MUBI from today. This brilliant film is my pick for the Best International Feature Film Oscar!

Predators: Badlands is now streaming on Disney+. It's an action-adventure take on the Predator movies, told from its perspective for the first time. Elle Fanning is terrific. This was one of my favourite blockbusters of 2025.

Woohoo! Glad you feel the same way π
It looks so uncomfortable π¬
I was a big fan of Crime 101, a slow-burning thriller starring Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo and Halle Berry. This old-school crime story takes its time bringing all the puzzle pieces together, but the payoff is worth it. Bart Layton does it again!
