28 Years Later Review: βRemember, You Must Loveβ
With 28 Years Later, Danny Boyle returns to his zombie series for a work about Britain, death and (most radically) love.
For Cinematic Sense, my review of Danny Boyle's 28 YEARS LATER, a post-apocalyptic sequel that turns out to be exciting, compassionate - and in the end, stunning.

Felt this within my Naija soul. What Davies Jr. captures is special: the hopes and complexities of a nation, the life lessons from a father who takes his sons to Lagos, set during a tumultuous election period. A direction so confidently done, you feel the emotion. Brilliant film. #MyFathersShadow

Sinners Review: Ryan Cooglerβs Electric Vampire Film
Ryan Coogler cements his visionary status in Sinners, an electric vampire horror movie that positions music as its lifeblood.
It's that time of the year when I start to go through films I missed early in 2025.
So for Cinematic Sense, I have finally seen Ryan Coogler's Sinners, and it is electric...

review of Train Dreams (2025)
One of those classic cases where you like a film just fine, but wish there was just more to it. Or to put it perhaps more accurately, I wish I could deeplyΒ feel what Train Dreams was going for. This c...
Over on the other side (Twitter), thereβs been some contentiousness over TRAIN DREAMS.
So Iβm wading into the debate to sayβ¦ itβs only pretty good, not great (and there were some things I was annoyed by).
