Spider-Man: Brand New Day (2026) Film Review

September 5, 2026 · 11 min

I'm pretty much the hardest sell for this movie. I don't like Spider-man as a character, or particularly the films, especially the zany comic stylings and whiny teen angst of the Tom Holland era, I've found all three of his previous movies…
The Strokes - Reality Awaits (2026) Album Review

September 5, 2026 · 9 min

After the amazing best in years come-back that was The New Abnormal, their wildest and most aggravating album yet. Their are many fine, fleet-footed, classic sounding Strokes songs here, that just about rescues things. But it's never dull…
Phoebe Bridgers - Lost Weekend (2026) Album Review

September 5, 2026 · 14 min

Phoebe Bridgers sits at the epicenter of the modern music critics happy place, so it's not surprising to see universal acclaim for what is basically cat nip form them. Lost Weekend is a perfectly fine album but screaming album of the year…
It Ends (2026) Film Review

September 1, 2026 · 8 min

The latest zero budget "IT" horror, is really neither the horror or comedy it's tagged as. Rather this four friends on a road trip to hell movie is an existential meditation on the search for meaning to life, along the extended metaphor of…
Mutiny (2026) Movie Review

September 1, 2026 · 7 min

The latest Jason Statham actioner is a welcome straight forward 1980's Jean Claude Van Damme action flick. Sadly it doesn't embellish or develop that premise in any direction.

Supergirl (2026) Film Review

August 24, 2026 · 14 min

Oh dear God... I thought the toxic fanboys had got to this one and it was probably decent. I was so wrong, as is almost every decision, in every direction, they took in making this Rebel Moon standard Guardians of the Galaxy knock-off. A…
The End of Oak Street (2026) Movie Review

August 24, 2026 · 7 min

Despite solid reviews and a very starry lead pair - Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor - this dino-sci-fi is too limited to be anything other than an amiable once through you'd likely never watch or think about again.
The Odyssey (2026) Film Review

July 26, 2026 · 23 min

I posted that Christopher Nolan's monumental version of Homer's The Odyssey was in danger of being a six out of ten failure, due to a poor script, bad acting and a hokey tone. Boy was I wrong.
Gone But Forgotten: RIDE - The 5 Ep's

July 26, 2026 · 26 min

My feature on things that were denied classic status on release or have been forgotten about since. The first 5 Ep's by Shoegaze legends, RIDE, have not been forgotten but the band is often painted by their first two albums alone. Another…
Obsession (2026) Film Review

July 19, 2026 · 12 min

Finally, after Longlegs, Sinners, Weapons, the monkey one, an "IT" horror movie that finally lives up to the hype and illustrious predecessors like Hereditary. Writer-directory Curry Barker gives a masterclass debut, examining the truth…
Lee "Scratch" Perry & Mouse on Mars - Spatial, No Problem. (2026) Album Review

July 12, 2026 · 9 min

This unexpectedly brilliant final chapter in the dub reggae icon's story was recorded in 2019, a few years before his death. You didn't realise how much you needed an 80 year old Bob Marley fronting a 1982 post-punk, new-wave, dub-reggae…
Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (2026) Film Review

July 12, 2026 · 7 min

The logical heir to Everything, Everything Everywhere All at Once. Though not as moving, consistent or imaginative, there's still plenty of grist for sci-fi fans and intermittent spells of brilliance.
