The Odyssey Movie REVIEW
Nolan is back with one of his most ambitious projects yet. The story is 3000 years old. Can it bring new life to cinemas in 2026? Will Matt Damon ever get home and was the pig scene necessary??? Most importantly, will it be a 5 star movie that Jaimie and Albert can finally agree upon?

Hamnet Movie Review
This movie is LAYERED and up for 8 Oscar nominations. Exploring themes of grief, relationships and parenting, we rated this Shakespeare Historical Fiction based on his life from the minds of Chloé Zhao and Maggie O'Farrell. It could very well be a fifth star contender.
