Checked out the Trojan horse in Trafalgar Square before heading over to the BFI IMAX to see The Odyssey!
As a horror fan and a nostalgic repeat watcher of the OG Scary Movie, I jotted down so many references while watching the new Scary Movie (aka Scary Movie 6). For a comprehensive breakdown of the horror parodies and meta references, look no further than here: missflicks.com/2026/06/05/b...
Look at Tom Hanks meeting a lil Woody at the #ToyStory5 UK Launch Event tonight! It was so exciting to see one of my acting heroes in the flesh!
Halle Bailey and Regé-Jean Page both deserve better than You, Me & Tuscany, which revolves around such a contrived, ridiculous story. However, it's quite charming, funny and beautiful to look at, so audiences may still dig it. Take me to Tuscany now! Review: missflicks.com/2026/04/10/y...
The 'found audio' horror Undertone really creeped me out. The brilliant sound design makes this an unsettling immersive experience. It really played on my fears about things that go bump in the night around the house, so I had to hide behind my scarf at times! missflicks.com/2026/04/09/u...
What a picture 🥹 absolutely loved #ProjectHailMary. Full review coming next week.
Today, I had the absolute privilege of attending Pixar's presentation in London. We saw the opening of Toy Story 5!! I sat in the front row and geeked out like the fangirl I am!
Down at the UK premiere of Shelter tonight. Here's Ric Roman Waugh, Bodhi Rae Breathnach and Jason Statham introducing the film before watching it with us.
I've had a lot of back and forth with my Top 10 Films of the Year list, but this is what I've settled on today. UK release dates, as always. Have a Happy New Year everyone!
#TheBoneTemple is really great, Ralph Fiennes and Jack O'Connell are stellar and I already want to see this absolutely batshit scene again. Full review coming in Jan.
Considering where #28YearsLater ends, I'm very intrigued to see how the story continues in The Bone Temple...
Back to regular programming with tonight's screening! #RegrettingYouMovie
That's a wrap on #LFF 2025! I saw 29 films overall. Here's my top 16:
I'm in here somewhere 😂 thanks to @lukehearfield.bsky.social for organising another great #LFF social!
Walked out of Jay Kelly and immediately bought myself a little cheesecake 😂 IYKYK
Listening to Nine Inch Nails' excellent soundtrack waiting for #TronAres to begin!
I had a little pre-LFF afternoon (absolutely loved Twinless) before kicking off properly on Wednesday. Stay tuned for all my reviews!
Americana is an entertaining Western-inspired crime caper with a scene-stealing performance from Halsey. I enjoyed how the various storylines and characters converged for the final showdown. Out on digital platforms now. Review: missflicks.com/2025/09/29/a...
Dwayne Johnson, Emily Blunt & Benny Safdie introducing #TheSmashingMachine (unfortunately I didn't like the film very much)
The only note I wrote down while watching The Thursday Murder Club.
As a huge fan of Freaky Friday, I was so excited to attend the UK premiere of #FreakierFriday tonight. Teenage me would be so damn proud!
