Alright, everyone settle down, John Wick: Chapter 2 is worth the wait. My non spoiler reaction is 🔫🔪💥💀💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💀💀💀💀💀💀💥💀💥💀💥💀💥💥💀💀💥💥💥💀💀💀💀💥💀💥💀💥💥💥💥💥💀💥💥💀💥💀💥💀💥💀💥💀💥🔫💀💀🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫💀💀💀💀💀💥💀💥💀💥💥💥💥💀💀💥💥💀🔪🔪💥💀💀🔪😔😍  7/10. Wanna know more? Feel free to read on, but it will contain spoilers. John Wick: Chapter 2 expands upon the established world of the original film and nicely hints at bigger & badder things to come. As sequels go, it ticks plenty of boxes but falls into a few sophomore pitfalls. In many ways I liken the John Wick franchise to Gareth Evan’s The Raid series; both employ tonnes and tonnes and I dare say tonnes of gratuitous gun-fu/hand-to hand combat, which hey I happen to love, but does tire after a while. With a few niggling gripes that I'll expand upon later, I can happily recommend you get out to catch John Wick: Chapter 2 on the biggest screen available and with the rowd

If I ever needed a game that was wholesome, friendly and cute, Tarsier Studios would be one of my first ports of call. The Swedish developer has since moved from their colourful days as the custodians of the family-friendly festivals of Little Big Planet and Tearaway Unfolded , and is now intent on giving us arresting anxiety in Little Nightmares , a wordless story about a little girl in a yellow raincoat who moves through the bowels of a seaborne den of horror and gluttony, drawing on some of the most primal and deep-rooted fears dredged direct from my childhood. Needless to say, this is something of a gear change. I actually don't want to give much away of the story beyond that little snippet above, since part of the game's engrossing quality is figuring out the story for yourself. You play as a raincoat-clad girl named Six, who wakes up in a suitcase aboard a mammoth waterborne boat/submersible thing called The Maw. Making her way through the bowels of a bad dream bi

While Get Out doesn't get its official Australian release until May 4; it managed to remain at number one for the second month in a row. Surprisingly John Wick: Chapter 2 and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 both failed to crack my top 10. Trust me, I'm more shocked than you are. Rachel Weisz's Denial has crept into tenth place at the expense of The Lego Batman Movie. As always I'd love to hear your thoughts on my list.
