My Best Friend’s Exorcism
Despite its best efforts, My Best Friend’s Exorcism is a horror-comedy that is neither funny or scary. The latest in a line of 1980s set nostalgia trips, My Best Friend’s Exorcism is ripped straight from the pages of Grady Hendrix’s novel of the same name.

Jackass Forever
Despite all the stunts, pranks and violent mayhem on show in Jackass Forever, there is something fundamentally sweet about this group of idiots getting back together for one final rodeo.

Top Gun: Maverick
It’s been over 30 years sine Top Gun arrived in cinemas and made a superstar of a very young Tom Cruise.
