"Yo, what up everybody? Roaring Kitty here. I'm going to pick a stock and talk about why I think it's interesting. And that stock is Gamestop."
One of the most fun and engaging Wall Street films that have been made.
Keith Gill (Paul Dano) makes posts on YouTube and Reddit about Gamestop stocks. Gradually, his stock-tip becomes a movement and everyday people become very rich. The billionaires are furious and start fighting back.
There really aren't many films like this…
"Call the police. Tell them: Hercule Poirot is on the case."
I enjoyed Kenneth Branagh's two previous Poirot films but can also appreciate their flaws. The third installment, based on Agatha Christie's book Hallowe'en Party, is certainly a step up.
Poirot's old friend Ariadne Oliver (Tina Fey) tracks the detective down in Venice and invites him to a seance at the home of opera singer Rowena Drake (Kelly Reilly) to unmask medium Mrs. Reynolds (Michelle Yeoh) as a fake. When…
"We'll always be friends forever, won't we?"
Ah, a lovely Disney film about some nice animals. Or not.
When fox Tod is orphaned he is adopted by a local widow. He befriends the young hound of the widow's neighbour, Copper. Neighbour Amos Slade is a hunter and sets off to train Copper up as a hunting dog. When they return the friends are grown up but are now pitted against each other.

A Million Miles Away tells the story of Jose Hernandez. Hernandez was born in Mexico and his family moved to California as migrant farm workers. Hernandez then spent much of his life trying to achieve his dream of going into space.
As biopics go, this is a fairly by the numbers one. It doesn't do anything particularly fancy or exciting in terms of the…
Donald Trump has come out and said that Parasite should not have won Best Picture because it's South Korean. If ever there was a film Trump would dislike it's this one. I'm pretty sure he's never watched it due to the "one inch barrier of subtitles" that requires a basic literacy level to get through.
Parasite is a film all about the class system. We open with the Kim family living in a small basement apartment as they steal Wi-Fi…
"I cherish peace with all my heart. I don't care how many men, women and children I need to kill to get it."
James Gunn knows how to make absurd comic book characters work on screen. We saw it with Guardians of the Galaxy where he managed to make Rocket Racoon a genuinely likeable character. When DC approached him to make a film for them they were thinking of Superman but Gunn opted for Suicide Squad and it's clear why-…
