Tyrannosaur (2011)

 

When a film is directed by Paddy Considine ('Dead Man's Shoes') and stars the awesome talents of Olivia Colman, Eddie Marson and Peter Mullen (check out the fabulous bitter sweet comedy 'Mum') the signs look good for a quality Brit flick and this does not disappoint. Brutal and frank, this is a disturbing real life drama story, domestic abuse, alcoholism, regret, this is brutal and hard hitting. The performances are outstanding as you would expect, easily one of the great films in recent years and one that is hard to watch at times, is essential viewing. True Real life horror is more terrifying than any 'Scream' movie.

4.5/5

Mutiny (2026)

 

STATHAM!.....plays Jason Statham.

Yes any movie this guys in I'm "buying a ticket", though I didn't have to because Amazon Prime in the USA decided to put this on their platform, realised this was a mistake, removed it a few hours later, but not before the lovely Pirate's (not Captain Pugwash) had got their paws on it, and bang, it was on the torrent sites! Cheers Amazon, and boy did I enjoy this, as all Stath's movies it's more of the same but this is top draw 90's style action. Stath's snarls, punches, and shoots his way through 90 minutes of fun, it's cliched, it's daft, this is why we love these movies. It's 'Die Hard' on a Cargo ship, crack open a can, get out the sweets, put your feet up and enjoy!!

Ann Droid (BBC Tv Series) 2026

 

TV series of the year for me, if you haven't watched it get on I-Player now, we did and binged it in three days, could have done it in one but wanted to savor the quality. It's very funny, Diane Morgan is fantastic as the dead pan droid, the always brilliant Sue Johnson brings heart felt emotion to counter the absurd comedy, with the huge heartbreak at the loss of her Husband and the sense of loneliness for the future. The supporting Characters are great too, with a heads up to Kathryn Hunter as Eileen the outspoken no nonsense manager of the local charity shop, and Danny John-Jules (yes The Cat from 'Red Dwarf') as the taxi driver who shall we say, likes the odd tipple.

There just has to be a second series.
4.5/5

The End Of Oak Street (2026)

 


This is what we want in the Summer. 
A no brainer bit of action and monster's (NOT MONSTERS...DINOSAURS!) Starring the bloke  from the shit Star Wars movies, some very likeable  kids, and the ever lovely Anne Hathaway, this is great fun. The CGI is top notch (take note Spielberg) the Dino's look great, running around chomping on people, it's daft fun throughout. Yes it does lose steam half way   through but then kicks into gear with a shock Dino munch moment,  but roars along, even managing to throw in some Dino sex! The ending is very Disney+ it must be said, slightly disappointing, but I still had a great time throughout.

4/5

Soulm8te (2026)

 

There's been quite a string of when Androids go bad movies in the past few years, 'M3gan' (2022) was a good laugh but could have done with ramping the violence up though. It's sequel 'M3gan 2.0' last year was a disaster, it really didn't know what genre it wanted to be, straying into a comedy sc-fi!!! but the cream of the crop was the excellent dark, gripping 'Companion' also from last year with a dark brilliant performance from Sophie Thatcher. So here we are with a new release, a tech firm employee tests a new female "soulmate" android played by Lily Sullivan, and who can blame him when he opens the box! I have to admit my expectations weren't very high for this release but it turned out to be a very enjoyable watch. Well acted, the film never drags it's heels, Lily is very easy on the eye it must be said! and there's a good splash of unexpected ultra-violence, and a nice neat payoff at the movies finale.

4/5

Evil Dead Burn (2026)

 

This is the third in the new 'Evil Dead' revamp trilogy and of course I was looking forward to it. The reboot was delicious and nasty, probably the best of the whole franchise in my opinion, 'Rise' a few years ago was solid if not spectacular, so how does this this one bare up....it's bloody, boy is it bloody (good) From the off it hits 5th gear with the gore and doesn't relent for its 1hr 50 mins run time which flies by. Relentlessly brutal and gory for pretty much it's entire runtime it never lets up, great practical effects throughout, the story is a bit lacking and the final CGI effects not fitting in with the rest of the movie but this is great gory fun, and another great 2026 horror movie to add to the ever growing list of recommendations.

4/5
