From the classroom to the couch - a former teacher dives headfirst into the world of film. Occasionally insightful, but frequently full of existential dread and dry humour.

BRING HER BACK is the second feature film from the twin filmmaking duo Danny and Michael Philippou, following their successful 2022 debut, TALK TO ME.

With Sally Hawkins delivering the creepiest performance of the year, BRING HER BACK is one of the top horror films of 2025.

BRING HER BACK - Film Review

FRIENDSHIP is Andrew DeYoung's directorial debut and features a stellar cast that includes Tim Robinson, Paul Rudd, and Kate Mara.

The film follows Craig (Tim Robinson) as he attempts to befriend his new neighbour, Austin (Paul Rudd), while also trying to save his marriage with his wife, Tami (Kate Mara).

On the surface, FRIENDSHIP plays like a classic "buddy-comedy" but is much more than that. DeYoung has drawn inspiration from brilliant dramas like THE MASTER to separate his work from so many other comedy films.

The TOP 10 FILMS Playing at CANNES 2025

SINNERS stars Michael B. Jordan in dual roles as twin brothers Elijah and Elias Moore, who return to their hometown in 1930s Mississippi with hopes of starting over, only to confront a haunting supernatural evil rooted in the land, their bloodline, and their past.

Directed by Ryan Coogler from his first original screenplay, Sinners blends period drama, vampire horror, musical set pieces, and explosive action into one of the most ambitious studio films in recent memory. Shot on IMAX film by Autumn Durald Arkapaw and featuring a stunning original score by Ludwig Göransson, the film features a breakout supporting performance from Miles Caton and a showstopping juke joint sequence already being called the best scene of the year.

The cast includes Michael B. Jordan, Hailee Steinfeld, Miles Caton, Jack O'Connell, Wunmi Mosaku, Jayme Lawson, Omar Miller, and Delroy Lindo.

Sinners premiered on April 3, 2025, and was released theatrically by Warner Bros. Pictures on April 18. It has grossed over $70 million worldwide and is the highest-grossing original film since Us (2019).
