Christmas – Invented By Charles Dickens, Patented By Scrooge (Probably)
*** Check out my review of The Man Who Invented Christmas *** Of course it was invented by a man, that’s why women do 80% of the bloody work for it. Just kidding guys! I know it’s tough doing the £5 Secret Santa for the person you’ve sat next to in the office for 10… Christmas – Invented By Charles Dickens, Patented By Scrooge (Probably) Read More

Justice League 4 stars
When it comes to superhero films I’ve ploughed a lonely furrow over the years, as try as I might, I can’t get my head round a grown man dressing up as a bat to fight crime. But thanks to Justice League I have finally found someone else like me. Step forward… Aquaman! The man from… Justice League Read More
Marshmallow Movies – That Sinking Feeling, But In A Good Way
Twinsets, bonnets, women behaving appallingly who I’ll make endless excuses for, bearded men in chunky knitwear, spaceships, middle-aged sex, Santa and Satan. These are the ingredients I need in my own marshmallow movies. But a marshmallow movie can be any genre, from tear-stained family drama to zombies in space. They may be sweet but it’s more a… Marshmallow Movies – That Sinking Feeling, But In A Good Way Read More
Film Stars Don’t Die In Liverpool 4 stars
In any 1970s-set movie, it’s easy to rely on the obvious props (though actually wallpaper was hideous, kitchens were green Formica and TVs were fat boxes that you had to walk over to if you wanted to watch another of the three available channels). But often it’s tiny background details that most sum up a… Film Stars Don’t Die In Liverpool Read More
Paddington 2 5 stars
“What’s the worst that can happen?” says the eponymous bear in Paddington 2, recently jailed for 10 years for robbery and “grievous bobbly harm”, and now working in the prison laundry where he has accidentally thrown a red sock in with the whites. At this point just about every mum and granny in the cinema… Paddington 2 Read More
Sweet Virginia 4.5 stars
It’s rare to find such a perfectly poised thriller as Sweet Virginia, where every character is so beautifully frayed by the realities of life and relationships. Almost everyone is at least slightly broken, and makes stupid mistakes. There is no saviour riding into town to save the day, and right to the end the story… Sweet Virginia Read More
The Endless Summer 3.5 stars
Australia may have turned out to be a disappointment wave-wise, and a worry shark-wise for Mike and Robert, but though Endless Summer came out nearly a decade before Jaws, I had to laugh at the locals’ comment: “Jeez Mike, you should’ve been here yesterday. We had a bigger boat!” This is a movie that exists… The Endless Summer Read More
North By Northwest 4 stars
North By Northwest is nearly 60 years old, and is one of those films that demonstrates how much classic storytelling has been narrowed with new technology – I spent the first few minutes of this mistaken identity thriller thinking “Townsend could just google Roger Thornhill, then he’ll know it’s not really George Kaplan!”. But some… North By Northwest Read More
