CINEMATIC EXPERIENCE NOT TO BE MISSED
REVIEW: Elvis 4 stars
THE mile-a-minute, never let up pace of the film (along with the myriad OTT Baz Luhrmann stylistic choices) may not be for everyone, but Austin Butler delivers an utterly convincing, enthralling take on the King that screams a cinematic experience that can’t be missed.

MORBIUS REVIEW - 2 STARS
Muddled with flashes of brilliance, but why?
MORIBUS is a film that isn’t so much bad or good, as confusing.
