London crew, this Monday has brought some incredibly heavy news for the film world. Today, we are raising a glass to an absolute titan of the screen, Sam Neill, who has sadly passed away at the age of 78. His family announced his sudden and unexpected death in Sydney, sparking an immediate outpouring of love and tributes from fellow actors, directors, and fans across the globe. He was a class act, a true gentleman, and an actor who defined some of our absolute favourite cinema moments.
With a career spanning over five decades, Neill was the kind of performer who made every single frame better just by being in it. While many of us first fell in love with his rugged, raptor-evading charm in Jurassic Park, his versatility knew no bounds. He could terrify us in cult horror masterpieces like Possession, break our hearts in The Piano, or command the screen in prestige television. He brought a dry, laconic, and effortlessly cool energy to everything he touched.
Despite fighting a quiet and incredibly brave battle with a rare blood cancer since 2022, Neill had recently been declared cancer-free earlier this year. His sudden passing is a massive shock, but his legacy is completely set in stone. He was a passionate champion of New Zealand and Australian cinema, and his warmth extended far beyond the screen—whether he was answering reader questions with his trademark self-deprecating wit or managing his vineyard.
If you want to celebrate his life the way it should be celebrated—on the big screen—London has a special treat for you this week. You can catch him in the lovely, heartwarming Australian comedy-drama Red Dog, which is currently showing in 1 cinema across the capital. It is a beautiful, family-friendly reminder of his wonderful ability to ground a film with pure, understated charm and soul.
Let us get out there, support our local screens, and celebrate one of the absolute best to ever do it. Rest in peace, Sam Neill—you will be deeply missed.

Alright, London crew, let's cast our minds back to the sun-drenched Lido di Venezia! We're talking about the 82nd Venice International Film Festival, which took place from August 27 to September 6, 2025. This edition, under the sharp eye of Artistic Director Alberto Barbera and with American filmmaker Alexander Payne heading up the main competition jury, truly served up some cinematic treats. It was a proper celebration of film's enduring power, even as Barbera himself mused on the exciting tension between streaming giants and the irreplaceable magic of the big screen.
The festival kicked off with Paolo Sorrentino’s intriguing La grazia, setting a high bar from the get-go. And what about the big winner? The coveted Golden Lion for Best Film went to Jim Jarmusch’s latest masterpiece, Father Mother Sister Brother. This one had everyone talking, starring a stellar cast including Cate Blanchett, Adam Driver, and Vicky Krieps, as it explored the complex dynamics of an emotionally distant family across multiple countries. Definitely one to add to your 'must-watch' list when it hits our shores! The festival also honoured two legends with Golden Lions for Lifetime Achievement: the inimitable German filmmaker Werner Herzog and the iconic American actress Kim Novak. Pure class, that.
Beyond the top gongs, the 82nd Venice Film Festival was absolutely stacked with incredible cinema from thirty different nations. In the main Venezia 82 competition, we saw some truly electrifying titles. Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein, featuring Oscar Isaac and Christoph Waltz, sounded like a gothic dream come true. Kathryn Bigelow brought her A-game with A House of Dynamite, starring Idris Elba and Rebecca Ferguson, while Yorgos Lanthimos reunited with Emma Stone for the intriguing Bugonia. Park Chan-wook delivered another twisty tale with No Other Choice, and Franco Maresco’s documentary Un film fatto per bene added some fascinating real-world commentary.
But the thrills didn't stop there! The 'Out of Competition' section was just as dazzling. Luca Guadagnino’s After the Hunt, starring Julia Roberts, had us all intrigued, as did Julian Schnabel’s In the Hand of Dante. Gus Van Sant’s Prince of Lies promised a journey into dark corners, and anime fans were buzzing about Mamoru Hosoda’s latest, The Future Is a Memory. Venice truly showcased the breadth and brilliance of global filmmaking.
Now, we know what you're thinking: “When can I actually *see* these incredible films in London?” And here’s the scoop: while the buzz from Venice 2025 is still fresh, none of these specific festival highlights have made their way to London cinemas just yet. The wait can be brutal, we know! But trust us, these are the films you’ll want to experience on the biggest screen possible, from the epic scope of Father Mother Sister Brother to the visionary world of Frankenstein. Keep your eyes peeled on PopcornFinder for updates, because as soon as these cinematic gems arrive, you’ll be the first to know!

Winners
London crew, if you're choosing one film with real soul today, go for Princess Mononoke. Yes, it's a classic — but it doesn't feel old for a second. It's big, emotional, and visually incredible on a cinema screen.
What makes it special is that it's not a simple good-versus-evil story. It's people, nature, fear, pride, and survival all colliding at once. That complexity is exactly why it still hits so hard.
If you've never seen it in cinema, today is the moment. And if you already have, it's one of those films that gets better every rewatch.
Princess Mononoke
If there's one film that defines modern big-screen ambition, it's Inception. Christopher Nolan built it as both a heist thriller and a philosophical puzzle about memory, guilt, and reality — and that balance is exactly why it still hits so hard.
The production famously favored practical effects over pure CGI, giving the film physical weight: rotating corridors, folding-city visuals, and layered dream worlds that still feel premium today.
Hans Zimmer's score became iconic, and Leonardo DiCaprio's performance keeps the emotional core grounded beneath all the spectacle. Inception isn't just a smart blockbuster — it's where concept, craft, and emotion all land at once. If it's on this week, watch it in a cinema.
Inception
Scream 7
La La Land began as Damien Chazelle’s dream to bring classic Hollywood musical magic into a modern love story about ambition and sacrifice.
The script was rejected for years because studios saw it as too risky. After Whiplash succeeded, Chazelle got support, and Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone trained in piano, dance, and vocals to keep performances natural and emotional.
Shot on film with long takes and real Los Angeles locations, it feels warm, alive, and timeless. If it’s showing today, watch it in a cinema — this film is built for the big screen.
