This is a spectacular cinematic experience. Sinners oozes so much cool throughout the movie and finishes with one hell of a bite. A modern day ‘From Dusk Till Dawn’. Highly Recommended!!!

September 5 is less about the actual Munich 1972 terrorist attack on the Olympics. And more about how live coverage of such events were first broadcast. This is a fascinating approach to the story from nees medias prospective, although it is worth having a good knowleged of what happened to feel the full impact of the movie!!!

A Working Man review by Alex
A Working man is an action thriller movie starring Jason Statham as Levon Cade, a former covert operative who is settling down to the life of a civilian construction manager in order to get closer to his daughter. However he is forced out of retirement when his boss’ daughter is abducted by an underworld organisation.
This production has some familiar names and faces behind it, most notably Sylvester Stallone as one of the writers, Jason Statham as the main protagonist, and David Harbour making an appearance just to name a few. Locations were plentiful and did not feel confined to a fixed area (although not without their issues), really broadening the situations the characters were put in. However outside of these few points the film really falls flat…
What I found most jarring about the film was the very obvious fact it was filmed in the UK while being set in the US, whether that’s the very English type buildings to the clearly English traffic lights, to worst of all the UK plug socket with a US Travel adaptor slapped on it. I felt it ruined the immersion and has left me wondering why they didn’t just set it in the UK? They must have their reasons but I just see it as an unnecessary complication, surely it’s much more expensive to bring over US cars and bring over left hand drive cars, compared to just setting it in the UK and using locally sourced vehicles. The American Elements could’ve stayed too, with the easy vail of the characters moved there for “blahdy blah” reason.
While these elements were distracting, I did not feel entirely bored while watching the film. Something was always happening with nice gaps between action scenes which were cool to watch, but the script felt unfinished. It had potential with it’s concept but I just did not get attached to any of the characters, I could tell that the actors were trying their best with what they had but ultimately the dialogue was base level at best and some of the actions performed felt disjointed.
The film does what it says on the tin and falls within it’s targeted genres, but outside of that it’s not going to be winning any awards. If your a fan of Jason Statham give it a go, but it most certainly isn’t as solid as some of his back catalogue of films.

The cast do their best to make this film work (And it’s a really good cast) – but A Working Man doesn’t really work. The script is bad and it’s really hard to belive the story is set in the US, when it’s clearly shot in the UK. It will be a must see for Stath fans. But it’s not the best of his work!

Marvel – Captain America Brave New World review by Con
In Cinemas 14/2/24 (12A) 3.5 Stars
Youth #Gottit View:
This new Marvel ticks all of the right boxes for young Marvel fans. Action packed, under 2 hours and really good fun. There’s a nice Batman and Robin feel to the relationship between new Cap and Falcon, that I really enjoyed. This added something a bit fresh to the MCU. Also I really like how this continues from all of the past Marvel films – but it also feels like the first MCU movie that doesnt make you feel like you need to have seen all of the others movies to enjoy it. This is the start of a new Marvel series of stories. A must see for all Marvel fans!!!

Flight Risk review by Alex
Flight Risk is an action crime movie written by Jared Rosenberg and Directed by Mel Gibson, it involves an Air Marshal by the name of Madolyn who is tasked with accompanying a fugitive by the name of Winston to trial. They embark upon a flight across the Alaskan Wilderness alongside their pilot named Daryl, however something seems amiss and answers to questions aren’t quite adding up.
The cast has some familiar faces with the likes of Michelle Dockery (Madolyn), Mark Wahlberg (Daryl), and Topher Grace (Winston). These three will be the ones you will spend the most time with throughout the film so get comfy, the supporting cast had a relatively small presence on screen mostly being reserved for phone calls and such.
In terms of fitting into its chosen genre of horror/thriller with a sprinkling of action, it does exactly what it says on the tin and is marketed as such. I’d say that it has a pretty specific target audience, that being for fans of the chosen genres and it checks all the checkboxes as such. While it’s not going to win any awards, it’s still a solid watch for those interested.

Flight Risk is a solid, classic 80’s style Horror/Thriller movie. It’s never winning any Oscars and does exactly what you would expect it to do. But it’s lots of fun and well worth a watch!!!

We Live In Time review by Con
In Cinemas 1/1/25 (15) 2.5 Stars
Youth #Gottit View:
Con openly admits that he may not have taken to this film due to a lack of life experince. Many of our close friends loved ‘We live in Time’ – so read between the lines with our review. It may or may not be for you, depending on your experices over the years and what you can relate to. Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh are always great – so go see it, and make up your own mind if its a film for you!!!
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 review by Alex
Sonic, Tails & Knuckles are summoned by G.U.N (Guardian Units of Nations) to intervene in Shadow’s plans for world destruction, however upon arriving it is apparent that they are all outmatched. So they turn to a familiar foe to have any chance of saving the planet, and appropriately wacky high jinks along with intense action occurs. We are eventually introduced to the Doctor’s Grandfather: Gerald Robotnik, Sonic and friends will find out where he stands on Shadow’s plans and whom the doctor’s (Ivo Robotnik) priorities lie with.
Upon the announcement that Keunu Reeves was playing Shadow, I was admittedly a bit skeptical. However upon seeing Shadow in action, I feel that Reeves was the right choice for the role. As the film goes on you gain an insight into Shadow’s past pain and backstory, as well as his motivation for vengeance against those who wronged him, Keunu absolutely smashed it and I feel that the line delivery and emotion of the character is just right. While I will always associate the voice of Shadow as either Jason Griffith’s or Kirk Thornton’s interpretation, I believe that Keunu was a solid choice for the film adaptation of Sonic.
Sonic fans who have played through the video games will enjoy the callbacks to previous games, as well as appreciate the film’s own adaptation of events. I enjoyed the humour throughout the film, while I am unsure about the longevity of the pop culture references and how they will hold up but they got a good chuckle out of me throughout. Lee Majdoub’s Agent Stone continues to be an interesting character throughout and compliments Carrey’s Doctor Robotnik, while the character of Agent Stone is an exclusive to the movie adaptation, I feel that the two characters are inseparable and both actors performances were excellent. However, I do feel that…
Jim Carrey’s role as Ivo & Gerald Robotnik takes the cake, the style of acting / humour reminded me of his previous works, and I feel he really leaned into the character of Robotnik. Carrey’s secondary role as Gerald was very entertaining, this was due to both of Carrey’s characters playing off each other and having shared screen time allowed for some very creative scenes. Specifically the dancing through the lasers was absolutely hilarious, and the witty dialogue between the two of them allowed for perfect chemistry between the characters.
The Start of the film is a bit quick, straight into things but that’s what you expect for a modern children’s film. I would rather the transition into the action be a bit more gradual rather than a massive jolt, but it does work with the plot as no one in G.U.N was expecting Shadow escape containment so I see why it was chosen. Overall I don’t really have any substantial complaints, the ongoing character development fits with each of the characters, some develop more than others but I feel it was appropriate.
At 1 hour and 50 minutes of runtime, it is on the longer side of family films but the plot justifies the length and does not drag at all. I’d say it is just right without it feeling rushed (minus the beginning but i’ve touched on that) or missing out on any key details.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is a solid choice for family viewing, I highly encourage you to watch it in cinemas. Hopefully he will return to the franchise, but if this is the send off for Jim Carrey, then frankly it’s a fantastic high to go out on and is entertaining for all ages.
