Time Travel Is Dangerous! (2025) review by ThreeSpoons Time Travel Is Dangerous is one of those quietly charming British oddities that sneaks up on you. It never tries to be a blockbuster. It sticks to warm humour, great character work and a script that f...

A small, scruffy British gem. Time Travel Is Dangerous swaps CGI for warm humour, painfully English awkwardness and a bargain-bin time machine that somehow works. Spaced meets early Doctor Who with a charity shop budget, and it is weirdly lovely.

One Battle After Another (2025) review by ThreeSpoons PTA returns with something sharp, stylish and loud in the quiet moments. One Battle After Another feels like classic Anderson territory but wired into a modern anxiety that makes every scene twitch. T...

PTA drops a banger. DiCaprio switches from wild freedom fighter to washed dad with hilarious ease, Penn is pure venom, and the whole thing plays like a Black Mirror riff on modern America. Smart, tense, political without preaching.

Roofman (2025) review by ThreeSpoons Roofman takes an absolutely bonkers true story and plays it with heart instead of hype. It leans into the oddness without ever making the people feel like cartoons. Channing Tatum does the everyman th...

Roofman is a quirky true crime dramedy with charm, a sweet romance and just enough 2000s film grain to feel nostalgic. Fun, odd and surprisingly wholesome.

Good Fortune (2025) review by ThreeSpoons Good Fortune shouldn’t work quite as well as it does. In his feature directorial debut, Aziz Ansari writes, directs and stars as Arj, a gig-economy struggler whose life gets turned inside out by the a...

Unexpected chemistry, timeless message. Good Fortune pairs Ansari, Rogen and Reeves in a heartfelt comedy that feels like It’s a Wonderful Life for the gig economy. Wholesome, funny and never too preachy.

A haunted house seen through a dog’s eyes. Good Boy is tender, eerie, and beautifully shot, half ghost story, half love letter to man’s best friend.

Colman and Cumberbatch are dynamite in The Roses, all smiles, venom, and British bite. A tight, nasty little gem where charm and cruelty share a glass of wine. Gorgeous scenery, killer timing, and Andy Samberg quietly stealing scenes.

Solvent (2024) shout by ThreeSpoons Ambitious, yes. Watchable? Barely. Set in a crumbling Austrian farmhouse once owned by the director’s family, Solvent follows Gunner Holbrook, a weary American investigator searching for Nazi-era docu...

Solvent wants to be profound but ends up loud, messy, and smug.
Ambitious, yes. Watchable? Barely.
A barrage of politics, fluids, and philosophy that feels like being trapped in a lecture with body horror as punctuation.

Lake Michigan Monster is absurd, stylish and oddly beautiful. A low-budget fever dream that’s funnier than most comedies and weirder than most horrors.

Traumatika (2025) review by ThreeSpoons Traumatika opens with a haunting past that refuses to stay buried. A cursed artifact, an abused family, and a demon named Volpaazu intertwine across decades, from a child’s horrific home life to a gro...

Traumatika swings hard but loses its balance. Part psychological horror, part possession nightmare, part revenge slasher. The horror works, the story doesn’t. Still, it’s nasty, stylish, and unsettling enough to haunt non-horror fans.

The ultimate starter horror. Creepy enough to feel forbidden, tame enough you’ll still sleep fine. Rubber monsters, zombie dads, and stop-motion chaos. Pure 80s magic.

A slow-burn ghost story with charm and menace. Two staff spend the hotel’s final days chasing proof of a haunting, drifting between boredom and terror. Cozy, eerie, and deeply atmospheric, a gentle chill that lingers long after.

HIM begins as a sports drama and ends as a surreal nightmare. Stylish, brutal, and hypnotic, it drills deep into ambition, pain, and identity.

A side-scrolling descent into Lovecraftian horror. Cheap, weird, and utterly committed to its madness. It shouldn’t work, but it does.

V/H/S/Halloween nails the spirit of the season. Cursed soda links twisted tales of candy carnage, parental fear, and backyard mayhem. Creepy, clever, and soaked in that perfect Halloween mix of fun and dread. A better entry in the series.

A solid Halloween watch with style but no soul. Night of the Reaper mixes Scream’s slasher thrills with Fincher’s detective mood but can’t decide which film it wants to be. Slick, tense and well-shot, just not one you’ll remember next year.

Primitive War is Predator with T-Rexes and Hendrix riffs. Sweaty, loud and gloriously stupid in the best way. The Nam grit and dino carnage make it a wild, blood-soaked ride that absolutely delivers where it counts.

Splitsville (2025) starts like a rom-com, then veers into chaos. Open marriages, poly mess, fights in fish tanks, slapstick and heartbreak collide. Darker, funnier and far more unhinged than you’d expect.

A cheeky, darkly twisted heist romp. Eenie Meanie leans into its tropes. Samara Weaving nails the snappy, morally murky lead, surrounded by delightfully crazy sidekicks.
If you fancy fast cars and a thought-provoking edge, this hits the spot.

Rebel Ridge (2024) is a decent corrupt cop thriller. Entertaining enough but caught in the middle. Too light to feel dark, too flat to be funny. A solid time killer, best suited for when you just need something to watch.

Eddington drags us back to the feverpit of 2020: masks, mistrust, conspiracy-bait neighbours. Phoenix’s sheriff vs Pascal’s mayor starts small, then spirals into Aster’s trademark descent into chaos. Well made & acted, but too long and recent to enjoy.
