Welcome Back to My Channel - FilmInk … a terrific and exciting tourist horror flick, and a scathing takedown of online clout culture and the strain it puts on real human connection ...

"... a terrific and exciting tourist horror flick ..."

Australian found footage horror, Welcome Back to My Channel, reviewed by Cain Noble-Davies

The Australian social media ban, its scope and criteria for what is 'banned', makes about as much sense as getting rid of slingshots but allowing full access to rocket launchers.

This is going to get UGLY.

Pink Narcissus - FilmInk … a beautiful work of pure male erotic fantasy …

Twinless - FilmInk Twinless is wince-inducing in the best way. Its drama and its comedy are equally brutal, and yet its pacing is so smooth as to feel like all those broken-glass sensations have been ground down into th...

Ahnold and Danny De Vito are not in Twinless, but writer/director James Sweeney and Dylan O'Brien certainly are.

Cain Noble-Davies reviews TWINLESS, in cinemas tomorrow

Shed - FilmInk … keeps things aggressively tense, the real trick here is how much it deviates from similar youngling-led home invasion yarns.

Recently winning Best Actress (Mani Shanks) and Best Editing at @screamfest.bsky.social, Western Australia's own Steven J. Mihaljevich's SHED reviewed by Cain Noble-Davies

Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere - FilmInk ... may trip into the odd musical biopic trope to its own detriment, but as both a viscerally personal snapshot in the life of Bruce Springsteen, and a document of a defining moment in music history ....

1 Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere review is never enough.

Here's Cain Noble-Davies' take on the film, in cinemas next Thursday 23 October.

Roofman - FilmInk … accessible and humorous …

"It’s a film that aims to humanise the kind of weirdo-of-the-moment tabloid events like the real-life Roofman, giving those that are often laughed at a chance to be laughed with."

Derek Cianfrance's change of pace, ROOFMAN starring Channing Tatum, reviewed by Cain Noble-Davies

In cinemas Thursday

Tron: Ares - FilmInk … an audiovisual marvel propping up an embarrassingly weak script.

Are posting new ones right now.

Yeah, this doesn't look performative at all.

*sees Netflix drama trending on Twitter*

Oh dear, what are they raging about now?

"Transformers say they/them! WOKE PROPAGANDA!"

...

I'd say touch grass, but I'm pretty sure even the ground doesn't want to be near these people anymore.

Bruce Beresford's THE TRAVELLERS, starring Bryan Brown and Luke Bracey is a journey worth taking according to Cain Noble-Davies' review.

The Travellers is in cinemas 9 October

One Battle After Another - FilmInk … a confronting and hardened thrill ride through the nightmare of modern America.

One Battle After Another is "... a highly entertaining film with some of the biggest thrills and laughs of the year," according to Cain Noble-Davies' review 👇

The Smashing Machine - FilmInk … a disappointing barrage of botches.

Smashing!

Cain Noble-Davies reviews The Smashing Machine, in cinemas 2 October

Not enough of you have "I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy" in your everyday vocabulary and it shows.

Kangaroo - FilmInk … has its stumbles, but as family-friendly entertainment and measured cultural examination, it has more than enough charm to make up for the lulls.

Kate Woods returns to the director's chair in Australia for family film KANGAROO, starring Ryan Corr, Deborah Mailman, some very cute joeys and even a cameo from Paddington.

Cain Noble-Davies reviews.

Kangaroo is in cinemas this Thursday.

Hop to it.

I believe in non-violence.
I sympathise with the trauma the Kirk family are going through right now.
I understand that Charlie succumbed to the same culture of violence that he himself helped engender.

I still think openly mourning him as some great loss is pushing it.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba Infinity Castle - FilmInk ... kicks off the series finale in spellbinding fashion.

The Bad Guys 2 - FilmInk … focuses more on style over substance, the action is beautifully rendered, the characters are funnier than ever, and the way it balances mirth with legitimate kid-friendly thrills is impressive.

And in Season 4 of The White Lotus...

Cain Noble-Davies review THE BAD GUYS 2, in cinemas 18 September

Hands down, toughest time I've had reviewing something since I started working with FilmInk. One of the biggest letdowns I've ever experienced with a film, dead set.

Honey Don’t! - FilmInk … performances are top-shelf, the quips and occasionally brutal fight scenes are enjoyable …

"Honey, at least give it a try!" according to Cain Noble-Davies' review of Honey Don't, Ethan Coen and Tricia Cooke's second instalment of their planned ‘lesbian B-movie trilogy’, starring IT Girl Margaret Qualley
