Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City (2021) 30% 2/5 EDIT “Although the cast all put in some decent performances, the material they’re working with is weak. These characters are mere whispers of actual people, and virtually impossible to connect to on almost any level. ” – Starburst Feb 2, 2022 Full Review Scream (2022) 76% 5/5 EDIT “2022's Scream is the best in the series since the original and, in this writer's view, is one of the best slashers of the century so far.” – Starburst Jan 21, 2022 Full Review Monster Hunter (2020) 44% 2/5 EDIT “It's a shame, because Monster Hunter could have at least been a fun, dumb action movie, but what we're left with is a messy and uninteresting flick that's too afraid to go full camp and have fun with itself.” – Starburst Jun 22, 2021 Full Review In The Earth (2021) 79% 4/5 EDIT “Speaking of horrific set-pieces, these are the best of Wheatley's career. They're shot beautifully and ooze tension, backed by a score from Clint Mansell that drips with malice.” – Starburst Jun 22, 2021 Full Review Johnny Mnemonic (1995) 19% 3/5 EDIT “As a whole piece, the movie just clicks. It's sprawling and silly and has no right to work at all, but it somehow just does.” – Starburst May 13, 2021 Full Review Undergods (2020) 83% 4/5 EDIT “As a whole piece, Undergods is something of a Marmite movie. It'll work for some, but not for others.” – Starburst May 13, 2021 Full Review Voices (2020) 1/5 EDIT “The bare bones of Voices should work - they just don't. Instead, what viewers are left with is a lumbering, haphazard, uninteresting mess of a film that's far better left unseen.” – Starburst Apr 29, 2021 Full Review Stowaway (2021) 75% 3/5 EDIT “As it stands it's still more than worth a watch for the electric performances alone, but this one issue stops it from flying as high as it could have.” – Starburst Apr 29, 2021 Full Review Blue Story (2019) 93% EDIT “The emphatic style can be repetitive, but it's confident work that crucially doesn't condescend to the youth audience best placed to receive its sobering pacifist message.” – Sight & Sound Feb 24, 2021 Full Review The Aeronauts (2019) 72% EDIT “You wish the film had more time for its grace notes, and a bit less for the humdrum business that characterises the scenes on terra firma.” – Sight & Sound Nov 8, 2019 Full Review Official Secrets (2019) 82% EDIT “It's Knightley's intensely focused performance that sustains the film. She inhabits Gun with an almost ascetic bearing, especially when her drawn countenance is placed against the sepulchral gloom of the GCHQ environs.” – Sight & Sound Oct 18, 2019 Full Review The Disaster Artist (2017) 90% EDIT “Both The Room and The Disaster Artist prove exceptions to the old adage that you can't polish a turd: while Wiseau saw his 'disasterpiece' evolve beyond his imagining, Franco, for his part, has spun tragicomic gold from the most tragic of base materials.” – Sight & Sound Dec 7, 2017 Full Review Goodbye Christopher Robin (2017) 64% EDIT “Sentimentality is mostly kept at arm's reach - unlike the famous bear, the film doesn't overindulge in the honey.” – Sight & Sound Oct 4, 2017 Full Review Spotlight (2015) 97% EDIT “The uniformly strong ensemble cast largely avoids any grandstanding moments, and manufactured drama is swerved, while Howard Shore's sober score is applied with restraint.” – Sight & Sound Feb 5, 2016 Full Review Underdogs (2013) 67% EDIT “There are few surprises, but the slick visuals, piquant humour and genial feeling for the gaming of yesteryear make it a hardy challenger for the animation titans north of the equator.” – Sight & Sound Aug 21, 2014 Full Review
