No yolks — sorry, jokes — in this article as I came away so unsettled I had to anaesthetise myself by googling where I could buy Florence Pugh’s pinny. This trailer at first looks like more of the same — more weird stuff, more threat, more empty eggs — but it’s also unnerving, and I’m… Don’t Worry Darling second trailer stresses rather than soothes Read More
John Wick 4? John Wick Phwoar more like — teaser & first-look image released
He’s lost his wife. And his dog. And his car. And his finger. And it’s only going to get worse… Yet already they’re underestimating him, saying even he can’t kill everyone, or some such nonsense. Like me faced with eating a jumbo box of Cadbury’s chocolate fingers, he can and he will. And presumably he’s… John Wick 4? John Wick Phwoar more like — teaser & first-look image released Read More
Elliott vs Wentworth: who wins? You decide!
If we’re going to update Jane Austen’s classic with lady hangovers, 21st century slang and house bunnies, then why not consider reworking the ending too. And who better to do this than me? Not only is this my website, but like Anne I am the middle one of three girls and the family dogsbody (don’t… Elliott vs Wentworth: who wins? You decide! Read More
Persuasion re-cap: romance, rabbits and rich relatives
The rich, handsome, strategic William Elliott “could attach himself to a potato if it suited him.” So how does it end? Does her love life remain all mashed up or will one of her suitors get his chips? And how did I write a paragraph about potatoes without including a You Tuber joke? Check out… Persuasion re-cap: romance, rabbits and rich relatives Read More
Persuasion 2 stars
In 19th century England, an unmarried woman whose aristocratic family are falling on (relatively) hard times reconnects with an old flame. Much has been made of the shallow updating in this newest adaptation of Persuasion. When renting out their ancestral home, the cash-strapped Elliots worry that leaving behind the household ledgers leaves them open to… Persuasion Read More

Hell’s belle! That GATLOPP: Hell Of A Game ending
Very spoilery. (If you’re looking for my review, it’s here. My game name-check is here.) You want to know the ending to GATLOPP? P. Just kidding. I’ve spent too long playing Hangman with my 10 year old, I think. So do they all get sent to hell to play that damn (and literally damning) game… Hell’s belle! That GATLOPP: Hell Of A Game ending Read More
GATLOPP: Hell Of A Game 3 stars
Four friends start playing a mysterious board game without reading the rules — rules that state they must have a winner by sunrise or they will all have to play in hell for eternity. An all-night drinking game. A “mistake wall”, papered with polaroids of meet-ups they’d rather forget. A lot of secrets. Actually that’s… GATLOPP: Hell Of A Game Read More
Ahoy there! The Fisherman’s Friends: One And All trailer has sailed into port
There’s only one thing worse than failure and that’s success — or that’s what I tell myself after screwing up once again. In 2019’s smash hit Fisherman’s Friends the Cornish sea shanty singers ended up hitting the big time — but in the soon-to-be-released sequel they are soon finding their new situation trickier than they… Ahoy there! The Fisherman’s Friends: One And All trailer has sailed into port Read More
Jurassic World: Dominion — what happens?
It’s the end of an era! If you’re this franchise. Or a giant locust. Check out my plot re-cap below. (If you’re after my review, it’s here. My article on my favourite doctors — Grant, Wu and Malcolm — is here) Let’s face it, a plot that makes sense isn’t this movie’s strong point. If… Jurassic World: Dominion — what happens? Read More
What’s up, Docs? Chaos, cats and creation in Jurassic World Dominion
Spoilers ahead. If you’re after my review it’s here. My comprehensive plot re-cap is here. I’ve long held a (flaming, waved in front of a hungry dinosaur) torch for Dr Alan Grant. The floppy hair. The red paisley bandana. His Jurassic Park combo of beige chinos and a blue shirt, the uniform of literally any… What’s up, Docs? Chaos, cats and creation in Jurassic World Dominion Read More
Jurassic World: Dominion 2.5 stars
Four years after the destruction of Isla Nublar, dinosaurs now live and hunt alongside humans all over the world. If there’s one thing we learnt from Jurassic Park, surely it’s don’t mix living things from different eras. Yet here we are, in the third Jurassic World instalment, with Ellie Sattler, Alan Grant and Ian Malcolm… Jurassic World: Dominion Read More
