Flatliners (2017)

Publish Date: September 29, 2017
"If you have ever seen a horror movie, you will know exactly what to expect (...) Starts strong, finishes dull. The original 'Flatliners' should have had a 'Do Not Resuscitate' order attached to it."

Empire
It (2017)

Publish Date: September 6, 2017
"More successful as a coming-of-age movie than a horror, 'It' still ranks among the better Stephen King adaptations — no small praise indeed (…) Rating: **** (out of 5)"

Empire
McLaren (2016)

Publish Date: May 21, 2017
"An earnest but one-note portrait of a racing legend that never quite gets up to speed (…) Rating: ** (out of 5)"

Empire
The Secret Scripture (2016)

Publish Date: May 15, 2017
"Though the intention is to make you cry, you’re more likely to find yourself frowning (...) A maudlin adaptation hampered by low energy and lapses of logic (…) Rating: ** (out of 5)"

Empire
Sand Castle (2017)

Publish Date: April 21, 2017
"'Sand Castle' does a respectable job of depicting a wretched conflict that none of its participants wanted, but its reason for being feels a little built on sand (…) Rating: *** (out of 5)"

Empire
Sherlock: A Study in Pink (TV) (2010)

"Sherlock has never been more thrilling. The game, Mrs Hudson, is on."

Empire
Sherlock: The Blind Banker (TV) (2010)

"The central mystery is not all that involving, but there's still room for some witty interplay between our two bickering heroes."

Empire
Sherlock: The Great Game (TV) (2010)

"It's the perfect culmination of nearly five hours of setup, and in Andrew Scott's Moriarty, offers a distinctly megalomaniacal take on Conan Doyle's famous villain."

Empire
The Garfield Movie (2024)

"[It] just feels plain lazy: pure kids’-movie-by-numbers. The cinematic equivalent of a Monday (...) Rating: ** (out of 5)"
