*** Read my Sorry To Bother You Review *** Not sorry as this film looks like a hoot. And even if it’s not, any movie that manages to mix sci-fi and telemarketing deserves a watch. In fact if you don’t see it when it comes out, I may have to cold-call you under the pretext… Sorry Not Sorry: The “Sorry To Bother You” Trailer Read More
Peter Rabbit 3 stars
It turns out I’ve been pronouncing radicchio wrong my whole life! Since the 90s anyway, when I realised there was a plant called radicchio. (In my defence, I didn’t eat an avocado til 1987.) This live action/CGI Peter Rabbit is only loosely based on the original – as my 8 year old said authoritatively, “it’s a sequel… Peter Rabbit Read More
THE FINAL Avengers: Infinity War Trailer Is Here…
…and with so much Hollywood Royalty on display, I hope Marvel Studios makes them all travel in separate planes, just in case. The Avengers are pitted against Thanos (Josh Brolin), who wants to wipe out half the universe – depending which half, Thanos, I could be with you on this. And if he gets holds… THE FINAL Avengers: Infinity War Trailer Is Here… Read More
Annihilation 4.5 stars
If there had been a pub in the deserted Area X zone where the all-women group of scientists is sent on a reconnaissance mission, I could have begun this review with “a biologist, a paramedic, a physicist, a psychologist and a geologist turn into a bar…” Annihilation gets under your skin, and leaves lots of unanswered… Annihilation Read More
The Third Murder 3.5 stars
This is a murder mystery with more twists than a 1960s dancefloor. It’s definitely gripping, and superbly acted, though I’ll not deny it is also frustrating; as we try to work out who in the movie is being played before the realisation hits that it could well be us. A man has been murdered on… The Third Murder Read More
Five Fave Mother’s Day Movie Motherfunsters
Happy UK Mother’s Day! (13 May in other countries which means I can re-use this article then; you know how we mums love hand-me-downs.) I hope you all gave yourselves the day off.

Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr Story 4 stars
Technologies based on Hedy Lamarr’s invention are now so ubiquitous, and have had such huge effects on our lives, I rather feel that a little Hedy avatar should pop up before we email, tweet, or indeed go to war, that says “are you SURE you want to do this?” Think how many hot-headed, post-1990s wifi-enabled… Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr Story Read More
Try Not To Pop Your Stitches Watching The New Tully Trailer

Hello (Again) Christopher Robin!
*** Read my Christopher Robin review *** We only said Goodbye Christopher Robin last year and now he’s back, sort of. The 2017 movie looked at the life of AA Milne, the writer of the Winnie The Pooh books, and his own son, the real Christopher Robin whose name was used by his father in… Hello (Again) Christopher Robin!

Red Sparrow 2.5 stars
If you’re a fan of nostalgia, you may well appreciate Red Sparrow, a spy mystery filled with utilitarian buildings, grey skies, and kohl-rimmed eyes peaking out from beneath fur hats and huge fringes. Starting off in Moscow, it then moves to Budapest, Vienna and London, playing out like a traditional Cold War thriller; complete with… Red Sparrow Read More
Sweet Country 4.5 stars
There’s little lighthearted in Warwick Thornton’s tale about Sam, an Aboriginal man on the run for killing a white man in self-defence, though humour does occasionally break through. Archie, brought along by the group of white men hunting Sam, is bemused that he should somehow be able to track someone through a barren landscape miles from… Sweet Country Read More
