practical magic 2
Practical Magic 2 doesn’t try to reinvent the spell that made the original a cult favorite. It just mixes up another batch. Warm, nostalgic, a little spooky and best enjoyed with great friends and a cheeky midnight margarita.

spider-man: brand new day
Grounded, emotional, but brimming with hope, Spider-Man: Brand New Day is stacked with some of the best Spidey action sequences ever with Holland’s best performance yet as the friendly neighborhood hero.
the odyssey
With swords, sandals, and the occasional mythical creature, The Odyssey is a triumph in every single sense - from its timeless tale to the stacked cast, who all deliver career best performances, to its many and varied technical achievements. Not only should The Odyssey be an Oscar frontrunner, but with this film Nolan continues to carve out a cinematic mythology all his own. My favorite film of the year.

One of the most endearing films to hit cinemas this year, The Sheep Detectives is the warm, cuddly, comforting film that we all need right now.
