  • Furiosa: More gorgeous Australian scenery, more car chases, but does Furiosa have anything new to offer

  • Monty Python and the Holy Grail: Lo, let us hie to Camelot, for research!

  • Dune 2: If ever there was a movie made for the big screen, this is a fine example of one.

  • Spirited Away: Cheryl is possibly the last person in the world to watch this famous movie.

  • The Marvels: Captain Marvel is back, and this time she has help. Well, one pissed off adopted niece, and one obsessive fangirl (plus her very protective family).

  • Black Adam: The latest DC movie offering tries to do something interesting, but gets very confused.

  • The Green Knight: How did Cheryl spend the Solstice? Watching The Green Knight, of course.

  • Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings: A lot has changed at Marvel since the Kung Fu craze of the 1970s. Shang-Chi is a better character for it.
