After conquering the global box office to the tune of $1.7 billion, Christopher Nolan‘s mythological epic The Odyssey is preparing for its next journey, this time from the biggest screens imaginable to the comfort of your living room. The film will arrive on digital platforms, 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray on November 18th, 2026 (months…
Some of the most revealing moments in music history were never intended for an audience. In 1993, Andros Georgiou picked up a Sony Handycam and began filming his cousin, lifelong best friend and creative collaborator, George Michael, as they embarked on one of the most ambitious projects of the singer’s career. The resulting footage now…
There’s something particularly unsettling about a villain who doesn’t believe he’s doing anything wrong. Someone whose moral compass is so spectacularly broken that manipulation becomes second nature, cruelty is simply another means of communication, and the line between charm and menace is practically nonexistent. In the increasingly dangerous world of The Terminal List, that man…
Some films arrive with enormous expectations. Others emerge seemingly out of nowhere, capturing the imagination of audiences in ways nobody could have predicted. Curry Barker’s Obsession was very much the latter. Premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival’s Midnight Madness programme in 2025, the wickedly twisted psychological horror went from an independent genre discovery to…
For all the spectacle and larger-than-life personalities that have traditionally defined comic book cinema, there’s something refreshing about a superhero universe willing to embrace the ugliness of its own mythology. And in the case of Clayface, ugliness is very much the point. Unrelentingly bleak, frequently grotesque and entirely uninterested in providing audiences with the usual…
There’s something inherently heartbreaking about the idea of a machine understanding the value of human connection better than the people who created it. That contradiction sits at the centre of Klara and the Sun, Taika Waititi‘s adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro‘s acclaimed 2021 novel, a science-fiction fable that explores artificial intelligence, faith, grief and the lengths…
Revenge may be a powerful motivator, but what happens when there’s nobody left to punish and the man who has sacrificed everything must find a reason to keep living? That question sits at the heart of the second season of Prime Video’s The Terminal List, which sees Chris Pratt return as Navy SEAL Commander James…
Memory is a curious thing. It rarely returns to us chronologically or completely. A face, a photograph, a fleeting glance, or a feeling we didn’t quite understand at the time can suddenly transport us back to a version of ourselves we thought we’d left behind. And perhaps the greatest cruelty of nostalgia is that, no…
For Wanda Sykes, comedy has never simply been about making people laugh. It’s about making them think, confronting uncomfortable truths, and finding a little hope in a world that increasingly feels beyond parody. In her latest stand-up special, Wanda Sykes: Legacy, the acclaimed comedian returns to her alma mater, Hampton University, for a fearless and…
How well can we ever truly know the people closest to us? It’s a question that sits at the heart of Ride or Die, Prime Video’s wildly entertaining action-comedy series that pairs powerhouse performers Octavia Spencer and Hannah Waddingham as two lifelong friends whose seemingly unbreakable bond is put to the ultimate test when one…
Ambition can be a powerful driving force, but when the desire to be seen, accepted and celebrated becomes all-consuming, the very thing that promises salvation can ultimately lead to destruction. It’s this unsettling contradiction that sits at the heart of Clayface, DC Studios’ psychological body-horror thriller from director James Watkins, which reimagines one of Gotham…
History has a funny way of remembering partnerships as individual achievements. Ask who first reached the summit of Mount Everest and Edmund Hillary’s name will likely arrive before Tenzing Norgay’s, despite the two men standing together atop the world’s highest mountain on May 29th, 1953. Jennifer Peedom’s Tenzing seeks to redress that imbalance, shifting the…
Garden gnomes have long been considered harmless, if somewhat unsettling, fixtures of suburban lawns. But in the delightfully deranged new Australian horror-comedy Gnomes, those innocent-looking ornaments are anything but, as an ancient evil unleashes an army of murderous garden dwellers upon an unsuspecting small town. Blending the creature-feature chaos of Gremlins with the bloody irreverence…
It was all smiles at the Adelaide Film Festival opening night, as dignitaries and guests walked the Pink Carpet at Goodwood’s Capri Cinema. The event featured the Australian premiere of Wild Horse Nine, Martin McDonagh‘s dark comedy starring John Malkovich and Sam Rockwell as two CIA operatives. Malkovich plays Chris, a prickly, terminally ill agent,…

Based on the bestselling novel from Nobel Prize-winner Kazuo Ishiguro and written and…
The video game-to-film adaptation has long been a notoriously difficult undertaking. Despite the Mortal Kombat films enjoying relative commercial success and this year’s Resident Evil proving a welcome exception to the rule, Hollywood has continually struggled to translate the appeal of interactive entertainment into something equally engaging on the big screen. Whether it’s the baffling…
Jane Austen‘s stories have endured for more than two centuries, their romantic misunderstandings, rigid social expectations and quietly devastating heartbreaks proving remarkably timeless. It’s little wonder filmmakers continue to revisit her work, even when the challenge of bringing something new to such familiar material becomes increasingly difficult. With Sense and Sensibility, director Georgia Oakley isn’t…
At 155 minutes, and unfolding across three timelines that initially appear to have only the faintest connective tissue, La Bola Negra asks its audience to place an enormous amount of trust in directors Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi. For much of its first two hours, their sweeping queer epic can feel deliberately elusive, moving between…
Winner of the Best Director award at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival, La Bola Negra, from filmmaking duo Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi, is an ambitious and deeply affecting exploration of queer identity, repression and the enduring legacy of love across generations. Unfolding across three distinct periods in Spanish history, the film examines how desire,…
The red swimsuits are back, and so is one of television’s most recognisable franchises, with the first trailer for the new Baywatch offering audiences a glimpse at the sun-soaked action, beachside drama and familiar faces awaiting them when the series premieres exclusively on Stan in Australia from January 2027. More than three decades after the…
The odds are looking ever in Australia’s favour as The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping launches its global press tour in Sydney, with Australian actor Joseph Zada and Mckenna Grace arriving to promote the highly anticipated next chapter in the blockbuster franchise. Directed by franchise veteran Francis Lawrence and adapted from Suzanne Collins’ bestselling novel,…
For nearly half a century, the Friday the 13th franchise has taught audiences to fear what lurks around Crystal Lake. With A24’s Crystal Lake, creator and showrunner Brad Caleb Kane is asking audiences to look at that mythology from an entirely different perspective – not by beginning with the unstoppable killing machine Jason Voorhees would…
After almost two decades of cinematic silence, Jason Voorhees is finally back. Well, sort of. The hockey mask-wearing, machete-wielding horror icon has remained conspicuously absent from our screens since 2009’s Friday the 13th reboot, with legal complications and creative uncertainty keeping one of the genre’s most recognisable villains frustratingly dormant. Now, with A24’s eight-part prequel…
The notion of “moving on” after losing someone has always felt somewhat cruel. It suggests that grief is something we can eventually put behind us, that heartbreak comes with an expiration date, and that finding happiness again somehow requires us to leave behind the people who once made us happy. Cinema has often embraced this…
Grief is rarely a linear experience, and the notion of simply “moving on” after losing someone can feel almost cruel in its suggestion that love is something we’re expected to leave behind. It’s this emotional complexity that sits at the heart of Love of Your Life, the beautifully observed romantic drama from director Rachel Morrison…
Based on the bestselling nonfiction book “The Mosquito Bowl: A Game of Life and Death in World War II” by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Buzz Bissinger, and directed by Peter Berg, The Mosquito Bowl is a sweeping World War II drama about sacrifice, brotherhood and the devastating loss of innocence, starring Nicholas Galitzine, Bill Skarsgård, Ray…

Winner of the Best Director…
Mike Flanagan is no stranger to exploring the darker corners of the human psyche, but with The Exorcist: Martyrs, the acclaimed filmmaker is stepping into one of horror cinema’s most iconic franchises. And judging by the newly released trailer, he’s bringing his particular brand of psychological unease to a story where the horrors of the…
Thanks to Paramount Pictures Australia, we have 5 double in-season passes (Admit 2) to Street Fighter, where the battle moves from the arcade to the big screen with Hadoukens, roundhouses, and all your favorite characters! Set in 1993, estranged Street Fighters Ryu (Andrew Koji) and Ken Masters (Noah Centineo) are thrown back into combat when…
There is something inherently unsettling about the idea that the person you trust most in the world could be replaced by something altogether more sinister. It’s a simple but effective premise, one that has fuelled countless horror stories built around identity, parental protection and the terrifying uncertainty of childhood. In Other Mommy, director Rob Savage…
