EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert Review
Elvis Presley is recognised as one of the most popular musicians in history. He was the subject of a successful biopic in 2022. When making the film, Baz Luhrmann discovered lost footage and used it for a concert film. I would normally write a plot synopsis when writing reviews. That’s impossible with EPiC since it was […]

Wuthering Heights (2026) Review
The 2026 version of Wuthering Heights is Emerald Fennell’s third feature and is already seen as one of the most controversial adaptations ever. The Earnshaws are an old landed gentry family in Yorkshire. Despite their prestigious name, their estate has fallen into a state of disrepair, and the family patriarch (Martin Clunes) is a gambler […]
Crime 101 Review
It’s not particularly original to compare Crime 101 to Michael Mann’s Heat, but that’s only because of how nakedly writer/director Bart Layton is quoting it.
