- DirectorChristian RiversStarsHera HilmarRobert SheehanHugo WeavingIn a post-apocalyptic world where cities ride on wheels and consume each other to survive, two people meet in London and try to stop a conspiracy.(01-01-19) (K).
- DirectorJon S. BairdStarsSteve CooganJohn C. ReillyShirley HendersonLaurel and Hardy, the world's most famous comedy duo, attempt to reignite their film careers as they embark on what becomes their swan song: a grueling theatre tour of post-war Britain.(14-01-19) (L). Seen on the 14th of January, which, by pure chance and coincidence, would have been Hall Roachs' 127th birthday too.
- DirectorM. Night ShyamalanStarsJames McAvoyBruce WillisSamuel L. JacksonSecurity guard David Dunn uses his supernatural abilities to track Kevin Wendell Crumb, a disturbed man who has twenty-four personalities.(22-01) (K).
- DirectorAdam RobitelStarsTaylor RussellLogan MillerJay EllisSix strangers find themselves in a maze of deadly mystery rooms and must use their wits to survive.(08-02) (H).
- DirectorDean DeBloisStarsJay BaruchelAmerica FerreraF. Murray AbrahamWhen Hiccup discovers Toothless isn't the only Night Fury, he must seek the Hidden World, a secret Dragon Utopia before a hired tyrant named Grimmel finds it first.(16-02) (K) (wL). The kids love it and the grown-ups should not, then least, be too unimpressed at this half-decent movie.
- DirectorJoe CornishStarsLouis Ashbourne SerkisDenise GoughDean ChaumooAlex, a 12-year-old boy, and his friends fight an evil sorceress with the help of Excalibur, the sword of King Arthur, in a bid to save the world from her atrocities.(25-02) (L). Whilst it does have its moments of fun and humour, it can, at times, feel a little flat, though not dull, but just a tad weary. Worth rewatching but bring wine & cheese.
- DirectorPeter FarrellyStarsViggo MortensenMahershala AliLinda CardelliniA working-class Italian-American bouncer becomes the driver for an African-American classical pianist on a tour of venues through the 1960s American South.(25-02) (L). Simply an average road movie that contains an after-taste of racist ignorance. Steady and not too taxing, but an interesting insight of a time that really should not have been. Okay, and nothing more.
- DirectorRidley ScottStarsSigourney WeaverTom SkerrittJohn HurtThe crew of a commercial spacecraft encounters a deadly lifeform after investigating a mysterious transmission of unknown origin.(03-03) (L) (40th anniversary release). It can only be seen as the theatrical release as no added scene's were shown, with what, too, seems a little grainy. Great to see this on the big screen.
- DirectorRobert RodriguezStarsRosa SalazarChristoph WaltzJennifer ConnellyA deactivated cyborg's revived, but can't remember anything of her past and goes on a quest to find out who she is.(04-03) (H). Awful in everyway. The rating of one Star explains it all.
- DirectorStephen MerchantStarsDwayne JohnsonLena HeadeyVince VaughnA former wrestler and his family make a living performing at small venues around the country while his kids dream of joining World Wrestling Entertainment.(04-03) (H). With its "winks & nods" toward is finale, this semi kicthen-sink movie feel's a overly nice and cheesey production. Funny, as expected, in part, it is a little charmer of the human-touch that brings these two worlds together.
- DirectorAnna BodenRyan FleckStarsBrie LarsonSamuel L. JacksonBen MendelsohnCarol Danvers becomes one of the universe's most powerful heroes when Earth is caught in the middle of a galactic war between two alien races.(14-03) (S) (VIP).

- DirectorQuentin TarantinoStarsLeonardo DiCaprioBrad PittMargot RobbieA faded television actor and his stunt double strive to achieve fame and success in the final years of Hollywood's Golden Age in 1969 Los Angeles.(03-09) (H). Wouldn't have been a too poor a movie if it were not for the lack of something, literary, something. A fair play to the theme of the film, but, overall, what was the point here? Not so much a flatliner but it really felt like a whole-lot-of-nothing in-between; too much packaging with only half a content, or less. Shame really.
