Phil’s Quick Capsule Review: Cult of Chucky is a fun 7th entry into the never ending Child’s Play/ Chucky series, working as a direct sequel to 2013’s Curse Of Chucky but revisiting characters from the original Childs Play all those years ago. Set most in an asylum and focusing on Fiona Dourif’s Nica it’s pretty much more of the same ... Read More »

Phil’s Quick Capsule Review: Whitney Can I Be Me asks you to believe that a person has limited control over their own choices, that others, that fame, that family, that a lack of support is at the heart of their own destruction.

Phil’s Quick Capsule Review: Let’s get this out the way first – The Minion’s are the best thing about Despicable Me 3 which is odd as , in a movie of their own, the joke wore thin pretty quick.

Phil’s Quick Capsule Review: Damn IT was scary. Genuinely scary. But those scares ONLY work because you believe & care for the Losers Club who are some of the most expertly drawn and directed characters I’ve seen on screen this year. IT is a top notch King adaptation (certainly Top 5 worthy) and an even better horror, leaving you crying out ... Read More »
Phil’s Quick Capsule Review: There was a moment, just briefly, that I started to convince myself during the near epic runtime of Transformers The Last Knight that it wasn’t actually the worst Transformers film I’d seen. Yes a low bar granted but still… small things. After all it lacked the now (in)famous Michael Bay voyeurism that has haunted the ... Read More »
