3.5/5
“This is a film adorned in truth – truth about art, humanity and society. In it, power is the only true currency that matters, and evil is infectious and pervasive. ” –

“For the first time in a long time, Burton feels like he’s having fun again – opening his old toy box and remembering how much he enjoyed prosthetics and practical set design before he lost himself in the computer-generated era.” –

Borderlands (2024)

0/5
“Borderlands, based on the massively popular first-person shooter space western, is bad – very bad. Unfortunately, it’s not even the kind of bad you can have fun with – that would have taken someone putting their heart into it and failing.

BLACKPINK WORLD TOUR [BORN PINK] IN CINEMAS (2024)
3/5
“It’s maximalist, manicured pop that has devoured all possible influences in its successful bid to take over the world. There are no nutrients to be had here, but it tastes pretty good, so who cares? Indulge yourself. Dance a bit. Bring the children.” –

Deadpool & Wolverine (2024)

3/5
“The machine is what will kill superhero films, if we let it. Teasing the future will no longer sell the present. Deadpool & Wolverine is a call to let things matter on their own again, and to peel a few more of these cynical masks off in the process.” –

From the Ashes (2024)
3/5
“The heart-wrenching event the film’s premise prepares us for, the big fire, comes in the first 30 minutes. That alone might leave you colder than expected. Once that’s out of the way, however, the film starts to get more interesting.

“I’m coming down hard on a perfectly fine piece of summer entertainment, I know. But it’s hard not to when I can remember the way the first made me feel as if it were yesterday, and the sequel had already left my mind by the time I’d walked to my car.
