The Great Escaper 2025 Movie Review Trailer Poster

The Great Escapee is a drama that tells the story of a World War II veteran who escapes his retirement home to travel to France. He wants to attend the 70th anniversary of the D-Day landings, and what follows is his journey and his memories.

This is a charming and moving drama that touches the heart. The ghosts that haunt Bernard are palpable, and his journey is filled with chilling moments. It's based on a true story that the nation rallied around. Michael Caine and Glenda Jackson are truly fantastic in their roles. I would like to see this film included in the awards season conversation because I think they are two of the best of the year.

Director: Oliver Parker
Writer: William Ivory
Stars: Michael Caine, Graeme Dalling, Myles Olofin

Would the real Bernie Jordan and his family have been proud that he and his wife Reenie were portrayed by British film legends Michael Caine and Glenda Jackson? Undoubtedly, and rightly so: the film is an excellent tribute.

In 2014, Bernie Jordan made headlines when he left his nursing home in Hove, UK, and crossed the English Channel by ferry at the age of 89, without a license plate, to participate in the 70th anniversary celebrations of the D-Day landings in Normandy. His wife, Reenie (Irene), kept his escape a secret, while his caregivers made a public plea to find him. Oliver Parker (AN IDEAL HUSBAND) creates a multifaceted film that celebrates love, care, compassion, and aging with great dignity.

Caine and Jackson come together to create a magic that only the most masterful actors can achieve. While the story is based on true events, creating a couple so genuinely devoted to each other with such conviction requires exceptional skill. Jackson deserved a film like this as his farewell. 10 GUMS

Heated Rivalry 2025 Tv Series Review Trailer Poster

Letterkenny veteran Jacob Tierney wrote and directed the six-part series about two rising hockey stars who fall passionately in love. Sidney Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin entered the NHL in 2005. For more than 20 years, the Canadian star and his Russian counterpart have waged one of the greatest rivalries in the sport. They've won titles, medals, and scoring crowns, and both are still playing (with the same franchises that drafted them), having earned their place among hockey's all-time elite. Creator: Jacob Tierney Stars: Hudson Williams, Connor Storrie, Callan Potter That's the underlying premise at the heart of HBO Max and Crave's new six-part romantic drama, Heated Rivalry, based on the book by Rachel Reid and written and directed by Letterkenny veteran Jacob Tierney. Don't expect many direct similarities to Letterkenny, though. Heated Rivalry may have some comedic elements, as relationships between passionate men are often entertaining, but it's a sincere a...

Dhurandhar 2025 Movie Review Trailer Poster

Dhurandhar's story unfolds against the backdrop of significant terrorist attacks in India, focusing particularly on harrowing incidents such as the hijacking of flight IC-814 in Kandahar in 1999, the Parliament attack in 2001, and the devastating 26/11 Mumbai attacks in 2008. The film depicts a daring covert operation led by the head of India's Intelligence Bureau, Ajay Sanyal, played by R. Madhavan.

The first half successfully intertwines traumatic real-life events with fiction, creating a thought-provoking plot that encourages audience...

Kantara A Legend: Chapter 1 2025 Movie Review Trailer Poster

The ending of Kantara: Chapter 1 returns us to the original film, a sequence in which young Shiva wonders what happened to the well that physically existed there many years ago, when the Naga tribe lived in harmony with nature, only to be forced to endure the invasion and destruction of the land they were supposed to protect. The film is a winding tale of three cultures, two of which seem to drive the story about class and greed similarly to the original film; however, the third element is the Kadapa tribe, a people who seek to appropriate the power of the deities for themselves rather than worship them. At its core, it's a film about unity. It's about bringing people together to merge tradition with contemporary ideology. Kantara: Chapter 1 takes us directly into the heart of the Bangra Kingdom, a prosperous state with trade and all modern amenities, but with a powerful and greedy king. Director: Rishab Shetty Writers: Rishab Shetty, Anirudh Mahesh, Shanil Guru Stars: Rishab ...
