  • The Drama
    Apr 9 2026

    The last thing anyone needs in the week leading up to their wedding is a life-altering bombshell from their partner - and that’s exactly the premise driving the latest release, 'The Drama'. What follows is a series of deeply awkward yet consistently hilarious moments that thread tension and comedy together with precision.

    The film’s trailers and marketing have been exceptional, carefully building intrigue around the mystery of Zendaya’s character and what she’s done. That sense of curiosity pays off, pulling the audience in and holding their attention throughout. It’s a bold choice of subject matter from writer-director Kristoffer Borgli, one that many filmmakers might avoid, but here it’s handled with confidence and balance. The result is a story filled with thought-provoking, often uncomfortable, yet sharply funny moments centred on its two leads.

    Zendaya and Robert Pattinson are both at the top of their game, crafting a relationship that feels authentic and lived-in. Their chemistry grounds the film, making the emotional weight of the central revelation land all the more effectively, and helping us understand just how difficult it is for both characters to process.

    Through well executed editing, a polished script, and tremendous leads, 'The Drama' sits as one of my favourite watches for 2026, easily.

  • Ready or Not 2: Here I Come
    Mar 31 2026

    Samara Weaving returns, once again drenched in blood, wedding dress tattered and shotgun in hand, as another deadly game unfolds in 'Ready or Not 2: Here I Come' - and it’s every bit as wickedly fun as its predecessor.

    The filmmaking collective Radio Silence continues to carve out a strong reputation in modern horror, blending sharp tension with a darkly comedic edge. Their track record speaks for itself, and this sequel raises the stakes while peeling back more layers of the sinister cult at its core, offering audiences a deeper look into how it operates within this twisted world.

    Weaving is, unsurprisingly, a standout once again, bringing both grit and charisma to the role. This time, she’s joined by Kathryn Newton as her sister - a pairing that adds fresh energy and elevates the film into an even more chaotic and entertaining ride. Once the game kicks off and the blood starts flowing, the film delivers plenty to rival the original, occasionally even surpassing it.

    That said, the script does occasionally feel like it’s straining to justify its own existence. Still, it’s hard to dwell on those moments when the film is this much fun - expanding its lore, embracing its characters, and leaning fully into its gleeful brutality. It’s an absolute blast

  • How to Make a Killing
    Mar 23 2026

    Glen Powell returns in John Patton Ford’s black comedy 'How to Make a Killing', a film that flashes moments of creativity, particularly in its inventive premise and offbeat kills, but ultimately feels like it’s missing a certain spark.

    The biggest spark is, of course, Powell himself. This time playing a regular guy, cut off from his wealthy family and driven to claw his way back to the top by any means necessary. Powell plays it brilliantly - sly, charming, and just convincing enough to make every so-called 'accident' feel almost plausible. His charisma does a lot of the heavy lifting.

    Alongside him, Margaret Qualley delivers another strong performance as his manipulative childhood friend, equally self-serving and calculating. Their dynamic promises something deliciously dark and entertaining, and at times, it delivers.

    Yet despite the ingredients being there, the film never quite pushes itself into greatness. It remains consistently watchable and often entertaining, but there’s a lingering sense that it could have been more - bolder, sharper, or just a little more daring.
