Happy Gilmore 2 - Stream on Netflix
Nearly three decades after the original, Happy Gilmore 2 tees off with a surprise sequel that balances nostalgia with new energy. Kyle Newacheck (Workaholics, Game Over, Man!) steps into the director’s chair, reviving Adam Sandler’s iconic hockey-player-turned-golfer with just the right mix of absurdity and heart. Packed with cameos, callbacks, and a few genuinely touching moments, it’s a raucous crowd-pleaser that plays to longtime fans without feeling like a lazy rehash. Golf has never been this fun (or chaotic) since ’96.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps - Available in Cinemas
After several misfires, Marvel hits reset on its first family—and this time, it works. Matt Shakman (WandaVision) brings style, sincerity and sci-fi swagger to The Fantastic Four: First Steps, an origin story that ditches the overly polished vibe for something rawer and more human. Strong performances, retro-futuristic design, and clever world-building make this an unexpectedly moving entry into the MCU. Finally, Reed, Sue, Johnny and Ben get the treatment they deserve.

We Live In Time - Stream on Netflix
This tender, time-hopping romance from John Crowley (Brooklyn) is a slow-burning heartbreaker. Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield deliver quietly devastating performances as lovers whose relationship unfolds in fragments - across dinners, decades and near-misses. With restrained direction and a screenplay that trusts its silences, We Live In Time gently explores love, loss and the bittersweet ache of memory. Bring tissues.

Jackie Brown - Stream on Prime Video
Tarantino’s most underrated gem still holds up, and in some ways feels more timeless than ever. Adapted from Elmore Leonard’s novel Rum Punch, Jackie Brown trades QT’s usual hyper-stylised chaos for a slower, cooler vibe. Pam Grier is magnetic in the lead, backed by Robert Forster, Samuel L. Jackson and Robert De Niro in one of his strangest roles. With its soulful soundtrack, razor-sharp dialogue and subtle emotional stakes, this is Tarantino at his most mature.

The Amateur - Stream on Disney +
Rami Malek stars in this gritty espionage thriller as a CIA cryptographer who finds himself pulled into a deadly global conspiracy after his fiancée is killed in a terrorist attack. Adapted from the 1981 Robert Littell novel, The Amateur is tense, propulsive and surprisingly emotional. James Hawes (Slow Horses) directs with precision, and Malek gives one of his most grounded performances in years. A slick, smart throwback to old-school spy thrillers with modern urgency.
