Ready or Not 2: Here I Come review – comedy horror sequel goes big and you should stay home

There’s even more screaming, running, swearing and exploding rich people in a follow-up to the 2019 sleeper hit that expands mythology we didn’t need expanded

Project Hail Mary review – Ryan Gosling’s charm carries unserious last-ditch space mission

Tale of a brilliant molecular biologist cast into outer space with only a helpful alien for company is a bit silly, but Gosling’s charisma keeps it watchable

Hoppers review – fun Pixar flick about a teen trying to talk to the animals and save them from an evil developer

Sprightly animation about a student’s attempt to stop the destruction of a woodland leans into Disney’s love of anthropomorphism and riffs amusingly on Avatar

I was underwhelmed by Elaine May's film "Mikey and Nicky", though it's something of a cult favourite, so it took me a while to return to her work. I'm glad I did:

"A New Leaf" and "The Heartbreak Kid" are comedy gems, somehow both goofy and darkish, and filled with great performances – by Walter Matthau, May herself, Jeannie Berlin (May's daughter), Charles Grodin...

Well worth seeking out if you haven't seen them.

How to Make a Killing review – how to make a pointless remake

Kind Hearts and Coronets gets a slick, Glen Powell-led remix that’s stylishly made but entirely redundant

The Blood Countess review – Isabelle Huppert reigns supreme in a surreal vampire fantasia

Vienna turns into a playground of camp, cruelty and aristocratic disdain in a blackly comic take on the Báthory legend – with Huppert gloriously suited to the title role

Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die review – AI is the bad guy in lively yet overstuffed caper

There’s fun to be had in Pirates of the Caribbean director Gore Verbinski’s satisfyingly tech-fearing adventure – but some restraint wouldn’t have gone amiss
