Luca is 'personal and charming'
If you don't live in Italy, and you don't have a holiday booked there, then watching Luca might be the next best thing. The new Disney-Pixar film is set in and around an idealised Riviera village, a rustic paradise of trattorias, vineyards, and crumbling town squares with fountains in the middle. In fact, celebrating the Italian dolce vita could well be the cartoon's main purpose. A gelato-sweet coming-of-age fantasy, Luca is inspired in part by The Little Mermaid, but mostly by the childhood of its director, Enrico Casarosa, an animation veteran who makes his debut as a feature director here. Instead of aiming for the metaphysical profundity of Pixar's last offering, Soul, or the mythological sprawl of Disney's recent action-epic, Raya and the Last Dragon, Casarosa has crafted a modest and gentle yarn about a few good-natured people in a small area, and their enviably simple way of life. His cartoon is aimed at the heart – and the tastebuds – rather than the brain. And it's no less of a delight for that.

Doctor Who: The Companion Chronicles: Return of the Rocket Men Review
One of the breakaway hits of the Companion Chronicles series was John Dorney's "The Rocket Men", a powerfully emotional tale that introduced a brand new foe for the Doctor in the form of the Rocket Men. The jetpack-wielding pirates were a surprise hit with listeners, as was the story's emotional content, and a sequel was quickly developed. Now with a new writer and a new companion, however, could this sequel capture the same magic as the original, while still offering listeners something new and fresh? In a word - yes. Emphatically. "Return of the Rocket Men" is a perfect sequel, in that it recaptures what you loved about "The Rocket Men", but it also offers a completely new take on what made it a success. It makes, therefore, for a sequel that won't leave you disappointed, no matter what your expectations are for this story.

House of the Dragon episode 8: The uneasy calm before the storm
The latest episode of House of the Dragon paves the way for the real hell that’s about to break loose as King Viserys I (Paddy Considine) has finally passed away. He hasn’t made one single sensible decision on the show, but ironically, he held the House Targaryen and, well, the series somewhat together. We’ve seen his slow decline for the past few episodes, but we weren’t quite so ready to see him rotting away. Once again, the show is taking sides and creating a clearer set of good guys and bad guys.

House of the Dragon
The first season of House of the Dragon starts to come to a close and the fanbase has firmly planted themselves in team black or team green. Now how anyone could be team green is beyond me and I genuinely think that if you are on Alicent’s side in all this you need psychological help. But here we are ready to watch Rhaenyra and Deamon take their rightful places….here we go.

Amsterdam
AMC’s movie pass has really allowed me to see every movie I want to see, kinda want to see, and looks moderately interesting. So in addition to Smile we also went to see Amsterdam. Now I will go see anything that Margot Robbie is in, she is a phenomenal actress and anything she is in is good. Normally with an A list cast you get mediocre movies so the cast of Amsterdam didn’t do any favors in inspiring the general public to see the movie. We as movie going fans also need to stop using rotten tomatoes as a metric for whether or not a film is good. Because, as a rule, the general public is a garbage metric for the quality of anything. Media literacy is dead as is objective analysis. So audience scores really mean nothing. That said, the reality of this movie is that it was good. Nothing spectacular but it was good.

Smile
As a fan of scary movies I believe they can be a perfect vehicle to tackle real world issues, and bring to life societies deepest fears. That said, I also think that they are extremely delicate and easy to screw up. There is an entire franchise built off of the bad and overused horror movie tropes. Smile was something that intrigued and creeped me out from the beginning. The marketing for this film was very well done leaving audiences with an unsettled feeling that only encouraged horror fans to go see it. Having now seen the movie I can say that the trailer was better.

22 films to watch in 2022
A Hero With its intentionally ambiguous title, A Hero is a work from one of today's masters, Asghar Farhadi. Two of his most stirring films, A Separation and The Salesman, each won the Oscar for best foreign language film (before the category was renamed), and this latest is shortlisted for this year's award. Once more his characters embody the clash of tradition, morality, politics and a changing society in today's Iran. With Farhadi's usual eloquence and precise, intimate observation, the story follows Rahim, a flawed but hugely sympathetic man imprisoned for debt. When he gets two days' leave and tries to find a way out of that debt, a small act of dishonesty spirals out of control, and the glare of social media enhances his problems. (Caryn James)
