“A gory, R-rated horror-comedy with an intentionally ridiculous, B-movie tone”

My definitive top ten of 2022’s movie releases

“An inventive & original horror thriller that unfolds in very unpredictable ways”

A selection of my favourite bits and pieces from 2022

My most memorable moments from ‘event’ TV in 2022

“Leave your cynicism at the door – this is the most visually amazing & immersive cinematic experiences of the last decade”

“A surprisingly dark fairy tale that explores grief, fascism, free will, individuality & parental love”

“An absolute blast, blending laugh-out-loud moments with bone-crunching & inventive action sequences”

“The incredible cast list makes it even more frustrating & disappointing that the film is so tonally disjointed”

“A film parody that’s every bit as funny, silly & joyous as ‘Weird’ Al Yankovic’s musical ones”

“There’s a lot of fun to be had with this subversive take on the clash between fairy tales & reality”

“A genuinely engaging crime mystery with a wry sense of humour & razor-sharp dialogue”

“Plenty to keep audiences entertained thanks to the film’s great cast, fun tone, brisk pace & timely social commentary”

“Despite some pacing issues, this is a lovingly crafted tribute to a great actor who was taken from the world far too soon”

“Arguably works better as a farcical comedy than a whodunit mystery, but Sam Rockwell & Saoirse Ronan make a fantastic comedy double act”

“Despite its plot-related flaws, this film offers a fresh & original perspective on the super-hero genre”

“Neither feels like a ‘Halloween’ movie nor stands on its own as an enjoyable standalone horror – but the last 20 minutes do deliver on the promised final showdown”

“A hugely enjoyable whodunit mystery that not only subverts the genre expectations, but also the preconceptions of what a ‘Knives Out’ sequel should be”

“A historical action drama with epic battle sequences and must-see performances from Viola Davis, Lashana Lynch & Thuso Mbedu”

“The plot is a bit of a let down in the final act, but the film is worth seeing for Florence Pugh’s performance alone”

“Unexpectedly clever & inventive, this is one of the best high school comedies of recent years”

“An ode to the 30-year on-screen friendship between Dante & Randal, the conclusion to this trilogy is more emotionally impactful than you might expect”

“Frothy, light-hearted entertainment powered by the chemistry between Julia Roberts & George Clooney”

“A vampire action comedy where the inventive action sequences & odd-couple humour make up for a weak plot & inconsistent lore”
