As a huge Resident Evil games fan, I went into this with certain expectations. And well, it's a very good movie for general audiences, but as a hardcore fan, I found it just fine. What I absolutely lo...

A surprisingly game-like horror experience that works brilliantly for newcomers, even if hardcore fans may find it a little too goofy.

The Boy and the Heron is gorgeous! Beautiful score, incredible animation and a genuinely good story underneath all the weirdness. Our only problem was the messy structure. It honestly felt all over th...

FILM REVIEW - Gorgeous animation, a beautiful score and a good story come together in a film that sometimes feels all over the place.

I'm genuinely sad my local theatre didn't play this because The Invite would've been SO much fun with an audience. The blocking and staging are spectacular, the screenplay is fantastic, and the punchy...

FILM REVIEW - A brilliantly staged comedy with fantastic writing, sharp dialogue and performances that make every awkward moment land.

Tom Holland finally gets a Spider-Man movie that truly feels like his own. Brand New Day delivers some fantastic action, a surprisingly emotional story, and the strongest portrayal of Peter Parker we'...

FILM REVIEW - Tom Holland's best Spider-Man film delivers heart, action and a true fresh start!

Christopher Nolan has never been a filmmaker who plays it safe and The Odyssey might just be his most ambitious project yet. From being the first feature shot entirely on IMAX cameras to delivering so...

FILM REVIEW - Christopher Nolan transforms Homer's legendary epic into a breathtaking cinematic experience powered by stunning scale and sound.

One of the most divisive films we've covered - atmospheric, uncomfortable and impossible to agree on.

FILM REVIEW - A creepy atmospheric horror film with strong folklore vibes, great tension and a surprisingly Alan Wake-like feel.

GAME REVIEW - An interactive coming-of-age story packed with incredible music and style, even if its gameplay feels too limited.

FILM REVIEW - Brutal action and pure fan-service carry this messy but entertaining Mortal Kombat sequel.

Fun References, Weak Upgrade - A Sequel That Doesn’t Level Up Enough There are definitely some great moments here, especially the game-like set pieces and the way classic Mario music is blended into t...

FILM REVIEW - Fun game references and nostalgic music shine, but the sequel struggles to feel like a true upgrade.

Performance Powerhouse with Razor-Sharp Writing That Hits Hard This one’s all about the performances and writing, and it absolutely delivers. Zendaya and Robert Pattinson are top tier here, carrying t...

A dialogue-driven drama elevated by stellar performances and brilliant writing, making it an early awards contender.

Bigger scale, same concept… but not the same charm as the first one. The first half is pretty slow, mostly spent on introducing characters and the writing feels weaker this time around. Still, it’s en...

FILM REVIEW - A bigger but less charming sequel that entertains, even if it struggles to match the original’s magic.

FILM REVIEW - A smart and emotional sci-fi with a strong adaptation, beautiful visuals, and a familiar tone that makes it an engaging watch.

This ended up being our first ScreenX experience (not exactly by choice lol) but thankfully Project Hail Mary made it worth it. As someone who has read the book, the adaptation here is really well don...

FILM REVIEW - A light-hearted, visually stunning Ghibli film with beautiful hand-drawn animation that makes up for its simple story.

FILM REVIEW - A warm, empathetic drama led by Brendan Fraser that quietly explores loneliness and connection in a deeply human way.

FILM REVIEW - A haunting historical drama elevated by Jessie Buckley’s incredible performance that quietly builds into an emotionally devastating finale.

FILM REVIEW - A weird, funny and surprisingly heartfelt Pixar adventure with adorable animals and fantastic sound design.

A quiet, emotionally layered family drama that looks stunning, sounds incredible and lets silence do the talking.

FILM ESSAY - Some movies don’t hit the first time. They wait for you to come back knowing what’s really going on.

Bigger, Smarter and So Much Fun! This was so freaking good! I had such a blast with this film. Judy and Nick still have amazing chemistry, and the new mystery keeps things engaging throughout. The ref...

Simple Magic That Feels Real My Ghibli marathon continues 🍃 While I didn’t love this as much as Totoro, Kiki’s Delivery Service is still such a sweet and comforting watch. I really liked how simple th...

Homebound absolutely wrecked me. I was in awe of the cinematography and editing throughout, but that final stretch, especially one scene, completely broke me. I cried my eyes out. Phenomenal writing, ...

Good Performances But Nothing to Hold On To The actors really tried and that’s honestly the biggest positive here. They bring sincerity to roles that don’t have much depth on the page. Without them, t...

Went in with zero expectations and was pleasantly surprised. Didn’t see the twist coming and that alone made it more engaging. Matt Damon and Ben Affleck’s dynamic is always fun to watch, easily the b...

The more Studio Ghibli films I watch, the more I find myself appreciating the smaller details. My Neighbor Totoro was such a gentle, comforting experience for me. Nothing loud or dramatic, just pure w...

I honestly had a lot of fun watching this! Send Help is chaotic in the best way and seeing it in 4DX really elevated the experience, especially during the crash sequence. Visually and sonically, the f...

This was really good. The Bone Temple keeps the grim, hopeless energy of the series intact while taking the story in a more thoughtful direction. The atmosphere is excellent, the gore hits hard and th...

I’ve recently started watching Studio Ghibli films and after Grave of the Fireflies, I finally picked up Spirited Away. What a beautiful film. I honestly loved every moment of it; from the story to th...

First watch of 2026 and what a start! 🤩 Marty Supreme is a wild experience and we loved every single minute of it. Timothée Chalamet delivers a generational performance. It’s chaotic, magnetic, and co...

We enjoyed this more than Glass Onion, though the first Knives Out still remains unbeatable for us. This one takes a much darker turn, leaning into themes of faith, deception and morality, which we ac...

🌃 These are the films that hit different after midnight. Quiet, moody and perfect when the world finally slows down. ✍🏼 Our Blog Post 💫 Our Instagram Post 🎞️ Any other films that you feel can be a par...

BOOK REVIEW - A heavy but interesting conclusion to the Grishaverse; ambitious, emotional but not as gripping as I hoped overall.

The Smash Hit Chronicles’s 2025 in review

Here are our favourite movies (& TV) of the year!

A tense, grounded survival drama that captures the terrifying reality of wildfires with strong performances.

A thoughtful Greek myth retelling that’s emotional and slow at times but still rewarding if you love mythology as much as I do.

A visually grand sequel that never finds its emotional or narrative footing.

Here are our favourite games of the year!

A super short but charming cozy sim. A simple, sweet and relaxing game!
