FORGOTTEN ISLAND

From its animation to beautiful and important story about the value of memories and power of friendship woven with Filipino culture, this film is celebration of the people who are most important to us, and truly the reminder we all need not to forget those core memories of some of our most important relationships.

The Cinema Of Powell & Pressburger - Collection Two - The rise and fall of the great British filmmakers

THE CINEMA OF POWELL & PRESSBURGER - COLLECTION TWO

The rise and fall of the great British filmmakers

The two volumes of The Cinema of Powell and Pressburger are the most impressive project for Imprint thus far, pulling together films from various studios and licensees into the most comprehensive collection of their films yet assembled. As a passionate lover of the work of this monumental creative partnership, these two sets feel like a miracle, a worthy celebration of their work and legacy.

Resident Evil - Back from the dead

RESIDENT EVIL

Back from the dead

By having us tag along with a bumbling protagonist, we can follow along with the fun with more fathomable empathy. For this reason, it's perhaps not just one of 2026's most interesting films, but one of the best video game adaptations of all time. Will we see Austin Abrams return in a sequel? You can be dead sure about that.

Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom - An all-ages Halloween treat

SHAUN THE SHEEP: THE BEAST OF MOSSY BOTTOM

An all-ages Halloween treat

'Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom' is an all-ages Halloween romp that will be sure to please audiences this spooky season. There are very few films that can be enjoyed by all age groups, and 'Shaun the Sheep' is truly the perfect example of that.

Coyote vs Acme - The movie Acme doesn’t want you to see

COYOTE vs ACME

The movie Acme doesn’t want you to see

'Coyote vs Acme' is a triumph; just getting to see the film released is enough reason to celebrate, but then to watch it and see this beautiful love letter to the Looney Tunes in a beautiful, poignant modern story is an absolute meep-meep success.

Practical Magic 2 - The Bewitching return of a cult classic

PRACTICAL MAGIC 2

The Bewitching return of a cult classic

For the die-hards, I'm sure they will enjoy spending more time with these characters; the callbacks to the original are done tastily and sparingly, and for everyone else it's going to be a fine time.

Spa Weekend - Mum comedy is back on the big screen

SPA WEEKEND

Mum comedy is back on the big screen

When 'Spa Weekend' makes you laugh, it's because of the dynamic team-up of Mann, Faris, Buteau and Fisher; outside of that, it's generic comedy that has some light belly laughs. This 'Spa Weekend' might not be a full-body massage, but it's the first appointment on the road to more mum-comedies back on the big screen!

Insidious: Out of the Further - Horror franchise goes from bad to generic

INSIDIOUS: OUT OF THE FURTHER

Horror franchise goes from bad to generic

After 'The Red Door' tied up the Lambert family's story, the 'Insidious' franchise felt done, but 'Out of the Further', while not spectacular, is a step up for the series. It proves there is still something worth exploring in this franchise, even if the film didn't nail the landing.

The Adventures of Tintin - An admirable release of the animated TV classic

THE ADVENTURES OF TINTIN

An admirable release of the animated TV classic

One could dismiss 'The Adventures of Tintin' as a stilted relic from the history of children's television, but I was genuinely surprised at how quickly it drew me in, just as it had when I was a child. Revisiting it has been such a pleasure, and it left me enthralled by Tintin's adventures screened in their modest yet spirited way.

The End of Oak Street - Dinosaurs are back... in a big way

THE END OF OAK STREET

Dinosaurs are back... in a big way

It presents itself as its own beast, giving us something both entertaining and empathetically relatable. With a top-notch cast and lean, original script and creative action set pieces, there's a lot to sink your teeth into. It's the latest enjoyable addition to 2026's excellent box office run to date, and will certainly bring roars of both terror and laughter from theatre-goers.

One Night Only - The sex purge

ONE NIGHT ONLY

The sex purge

Like us, the film is too fixated on its odd premise but just doesn't know what to do with it. To the detriment of Barbaro and Turner's chemistry, it's a rom-com that attempts both, but the script needed more than 'One Night Only' to make it work.

Stop! That! Train! - Did the bus stop running? 'Drag Race' comes to the big screen

STOP! THAT! TRAIN!

Did the bus stop running? 'Drag Race' comes to the big screen

When 'Stop! That! Train' is funny, she is funny, but from AI use (escàndalo!) to wasted cameos, it doesn't completely pull this off. They make it work, and if you're even a casual fan, you'll get some laughs out of it. It is a treat to see drag queens shine on the big screen, but I hope the next time we see them it's more of a roaring success and without any AI!

Minotaur - A steamy, politically-charged non-masterpiece from a Russian auteur

MINOTAUR

A steamy, politically-charged non-masterpiece from a Russian auteur

'Minotaur' is a somewhat predictable erotic thriller draped over an interesting, borderline satirical critique of Russian politics. It's one of Zvyagintsev's lesser films due to this unevenness, but by no means a fumble from one of Russian cinema's finest living directors.

Ice Cream Man - Eli Roth serves up a melted mess

ICE CREAM MAN

Eli Roth serves up a melted mess

With the release of true cinematic gems like 'Obsession' and 'Backrooms' this year, haven't we had enough horror tripe like 'Ice Cream Man'? Isn't it time we demanded more from our cinema-going experience? We have the power to vote with our wallets, and there are so many 2026 films worthy of our hard-earned cash. 'Ice Cream Man' is far from one of them. Don't let this brain rot give you brain freeze. Find something a little sweeter to terrify you for your time and money.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day - Big superhero swings finally land successfully

SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY

Big superhero swings finally land successfully

While a decade into playing the character, Holland is far from jaded. The charm of Spider-Man carries through his performance – but truly breaks through when he shares the screen with his original castmates, Zendaya's MJ and Battalon's Ned.

NT Live: Les Liaisons Dangereuses - A competent production of a theatrical classic

NT LIVE: LES LIAISONS DANGEREUSES

A competent production of a theatrical classic

'Les Liaisons dangereuses' is still a tremendous theatrical landmark and a play that, like its source novel, still finds contemporary resonances with the sexual power games the genders can play against one another. It's just a pity that this production from the National Theatre aims for often empty spectacle over dramaturgical nuance.

The Odyssey - Nolan's shattering adaptation of Homer's monolithic epic

THE ODYSSEY

Nolan's shattering adaptation of Homer's monolithic epic

'The Odyssey' is an immense achievement, even with its imperfections, perhaps even helped by its imperfections. Not only is it rare to see a film of this visual and aural scale rendered with such grit and immediacy, but even rarer to see a contemporary film of this scale so uncompromising in its tone and so resonant in its ideas. Furious, chaotic, monolithic and overwhelming, 'The Odyssey' roars with every frame.

Saccharine - A dish comprised of empty calories

SACCHARINE

A dish comprised of empty calories

'Saccharine' is sporadically enjoyable but ultimately messy and won't leave you feeling completely satisfied.

The Invite - A dinner party from hell has never been this good

THE INVITE

A dinner party from hell has never been this good

'The Invite' packages the best and worst of human nature in something genuinely, riotously funny - brought to life by some of the most interesting actors working today. These two unconventional couples will have you hooked - and by the end, you'll be desperate for your own invite.

Supergirl - Kara is making her first solo film feature in 42 years

SUPERGIRL

Kara is making her first solo film feature in 42 years

'Supergirl' is a really fun superhero action film led by a strong performance from Aussie Milly Alcock. It might not reach the heights of the DCU's debut film 'Superman', but 'Supergirl' finally gets her own movie, celebrating everything the world loves about her, and it only took 42 years to get this character properly portrayed on the big screen!

NT Live: The Playboy of the Western World - A stirring production of an Irish classic

NT LIVE: THE PLAYBOY OF THE WESTERN WORLD

A stirring production of an Irish classic

No amount of cinematic trickery can replicate the power of live theatre, and in particular something as gigantic as this play. Thank goodness, though, that with this initiative, we are given the chance to see something akin to that experience, shot and edited with careful consideration of preserving the work and crafting a powerful experience for cinema audiences.

Paper Tiger - By-the-numbers blue-collar crime thrills

PAPER TIGER

By-the-numbers blue-collar crime thrills

The film can't decide what it wants to focus on, and the end result, while still watchable due to the stacked cast and a passable time waster for fans of crime drama, is full of unrealised potential and ultimately paper-thin.

Raise the Titanic - A bonkers Titanic oddity gets a lavish Blu-ray release

RAISE THE TITANIC

A bonkers Titanic oddity gets a lavish Blu-ray release

I'm glad it's 40-year-old Daniel watching it rather than 10-year-old Daniel. He would have been bored at the lack of action and frustrated at all the things they get wrong, not willing to give them the grace of making the film before anyone had found the damn ship. It's a strange thing to consider, but time may have actually worked in this film's favour. We have two definitive masterpieces on this event, so a silly bit of speculative trash isn't hurting anyone, and what might have been dull in 1980 now at least has a bit of extra power.
