Disclosure Day ¦ Film Review (4.5*): What the World Needs Now Is A Lot More Empathy… So True!

A One Mann’s Movies review of “Disclosure Day”. (2026, 4.5*, 12A). To say “highly anticipated” for Steven Spielberg’s “Disclosure Day” would be an understatement.

But with “Masters of the Universe” we are in similar fantasy territory here with Mattel trying to pull another … Read more

Power Ballad ¦ Film Review (3*): Dammit, That Ear-Worm Has Been Permanently Installed!

A One Mann’s Movies review of “Power Ballad”. (2026, 3*, 15). This tale of creative differences in the music business isn’t going to set Rotten Tomatoes alight or indeed the box office (given by the three or us in the huge cinema auditorium who were watching it today).
