All’s Fair review – Kim Kardashian’s divorce drama is fascinatingly, existentially terrible Not even Glenn Close can save this Ryan Murphy disaster from its dismal plots, clueless characters – and the worst kissing scenes ever filmed

Shelby Oaks: Promising indie horror driven by smart decision-making

Though it loses focus in the second half, and only has so much to offer on behalf of its genre, Shelby Oaks reflects a strong directorial debut for its director, and upholds good standards for scary cinema.

Shelby Oaks review – Successfully branching out Smart, and atmospherically effective, budget horror film Shelby Oaks is a solid feature debut for reviewer turned movie maker Chris Stuckmann.

It's Halloween week and we've got a load of scary entertainment recommendations lined up.

Starting with what we're watching on the big screen: the Mike Flanagan-backed Shelby Oaks.

Tron: Ares review: Download interrupted

While its sights and sounds are up to scratch for the sci-fi franchise, Tron: Ares is ephemeral in its execution thanks to disengaged storytelling and a lack of compelling characters.

Tron: Ares review – Download interrupted Fifteen years since the last installment in the sci-fi action adventure franchise, Tron: Ares brings the denizens of the digital Grid into our reality, with Jared Leto as the titular program.

Tron is edgy now!

Third franchise entry Tron: Ares is as aesthetically and aurally striking as you would expect, but a derivative meeting-of-worlds narrative has lessened the escapism.

Here's our review.

This is where I give Apple huge props. Their new call screening feature is amazing (if a little weird for legit callers to get used to).

My dream movie to direct - Hackers 2 with a soundtrack entirely by The Midnight.

I’m sorry Darryn, I really am. But your argument is…dead on arrival.

That is one of the worst book titles I have ever seen.

a neon sign that says `` infinity train '' with a green infinity symbol . ALT: a neon sign that says `` infinity train '' with a green infinity symbol .

Oh my word, get on it. Four seasons, 10 episodes, each ten minutes long. You can knock it out in an afternoon.

Infinity Train. Everyone I know who has seen it is the result of me forcing them to watch 😂

Given that I have spent the last month rewatching Rupert, who was effectively young Sam’s Bluey, this hits really hard and sad.

Inside every person are two wolves.
One that goes to Wimpy when you’re at the airport.
And one that goes to Mugg & Bean.

The Roses review – Thorns in your side Black comedy, and pseudo remake, The Roses is stuffed full of comic talent in front of the camera and behind it. Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman lead this charge in this tale of a no-holds-barred disintegrating marriage.

On paper, Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman in a vicious black comedy about a failing marriage sounds like an instant "sign me up."

But is The Roses worth a viewing? Read our review now.

WHAT WE’RE WATCHING: Freakier Friday serves up Noughties nostalgia, predictable punchlines and all

Raising a Noughties comedy back from the dead, and perking it up with highlights and some lip plumper, Freakier Friday delivers on the fine-tuned fun perfected by its predecessor. Even though you can predict the landing of every punchline way in advance.

If you see this, quote this post with a title screen that's iconic to you

Freakier Friday review – Here’s to the weekend If you were planning on hitting up cinemas in celebration of Women’s Day this weekend, mother-daughter body swap comedy, and 22-year-later sequel, Freakier Friday makes for a bubby and fun throwback movie experience. Stars Jamie Lee Curtis and a resurgent Lindsay Lohan are in top form.

Turns our lightning can strike twice.

Freakier Friday is happy to repeat every plot beat of the original but that doesn't stop this body swap comedy from being both fun and feel-good.

Here's our review.

I have no problem with cold malva, honestly.

...now I want malva pudding, dammit.

Are having something with said cold malva pudding? Custard or ice cream?

WHAT WE’RE WATCHING: Elio takes flight: A journey through space and emotion in Pixar’s latest offering

Ignore the ‘box office failure’ narrative trailing this one. Pixar is synonymous with pedigreed family entertainment, and its latest animated adventure, Elio, is a mix of colourful aliens and sincere emotion.

I took a day to stew over this and the more I think I about it, the more I’m appreciating it.
