  Dumb Money 2023

  ★★★½ Watched 24 Sep 2023

  The pandemic is still so fresh in many people's minds that a film that directly depicts it feels too soon. The GameStop short squeeze only happened in January 2021, and while it was a strange event that captured meme culture and was wildly talked about doesn't mean it was the perfect true story to adapt. 'Dumb Money' is still a fun little throwback to a time not so long ago that captures how powerful the internet can be.

While ‘Top End Wedding’ does take place in the outback, it’s such a different spin on how we…

  Magic Mike's Last Dance 2023

  ★★ Watched 08 Feb 2023

  Rather than swept up in the heat and spectacle of it all, 'Magic Mike's Last Dance' left me clammy and cold. This is a dull, joyless and boring film, convoluted and almost never sexy. As each minute passed, I found myself willing it to end quicker, but as disappointed as I was for myself as someone who had been excited to see this film, I was most disappointed for the dancers in it. Rather than celebrating their abilities, they exist…
