Check out my interview with Love Witch director Anna Biller here. “Who ARE you?” asks Richard, married to Trish but besotted with Elaine who is lying semi-naked beneath him. “I’m the Love Witch!” she exclaims, “I’m your ultimate fantasy!” Women have long been lusted after and feared in equal measure by men, for their feminine wiles that seem… Love Witch Read More
Sense And Sensibility 4.5 stars
Who doesn’t enjoy looking back to what seem like happier, simpler times, where having a fortune of four thousand a year marked one out as the catch of the season, and treating oneself meant buying some new bonnet ribbons for church on Sunday. Though of course, there were dangers – chest infections were common from wearing… Sense And Sensibility Read More
Atomic Blonde Is Jane Wick But Posh & English
*** Check out my Atomic Blonde review here *** You’d better watch the (restricted) trailer for Atomic Blonde here as currently if you google you get Blondie by Atomic, which I now can’t stop singing. Charlize Theron is a gun-toting, face-smashing British spy called Lorraine Broughton and she almost certainly trained at the same Kick Ass… Atomic Blonde Is Jane Wick But Posh & English Read More
Gerard Butler In A Film About Weather Is All My British Dreams Come True
Check out my Geostorm review here. Plus my article If Gerard Butler Worked In My Office. I’ve just watched this trailer for GerryStorm, sorry I mean Geostorm, with Gerard Butler, and I just had to share it with you. In the film, satellites control the weather but then they start malfunctioning and Earth Weather is about to go really,… Gerard Butler In A Film About Weather Is All My British Dreams Come True Read More
Kong: Skull Island 2.5 stars
The three things you need to know before seeing Kong: Skull Island are that (a) the 3D cinematography really is astonishingly thrilling to watch, (b) your monster enemy’s monster enemy is your monster friend, and (c) sadly none of this entirely makes up for the rest of the movie. “I think he’s losing it!” says tracker James Conrad (Tom… Kong: Skull Island Read More
Wayne’s World 4 stars
Can it really be 25 years since Wayne’s World was released? In some ways at my age it’s easier to remember what happened 25 years ago than what I had for breakfast this morning (until I remember that I’ve forgotten I don’t eat breakfast) but I was still staggered how many of the words and phrases from Wayne’s… Wayne’s World Read More
It’s International Women’s Day! Hear Me Roar Like The T-Rex In Jurassic Park
Yes, it’s that day again when all the mysogynists pop up to ask when International Men’s Day is. So come on over and tell me how to be a feminist. Just kidding, I can google. Once I’ve stopped Hoovering anyway. Also if you remind me I’ll do a post on IMD which is on 19th November. As long… It’s International Women’s Day! Hear Me Roar Like The T-Rex In Jurassic Park Read More
Okja Trailer From Netflix Starring Tilda Swinton As Me
Click here for my Okja review and video review I have a doppelganger! Tilda Swinton you fools, not the giant scaly animal. Not since I started using that cream anyway. This is the new trailer for Okja from Netflix, a South Korean / American film from director Bong Joon-ho. Okja ia a huge animal and Mija, a… Okja Trailer From Netflix Starring Tilda Swinton As Me Read More
No Good Deed Is Definitely NOT a Trailer For Deadpool 2
*** My Deadpool 2 review *** Deadpool was a huge R-rated megahit last year and we’ve just been given a short not-trailer to promote Deadpool 2. In the film, Wade spots an elderly man being threatened by a gunman, so he jumps in a nearby telephone box to get changed into his Deadpool outfit. Sadly he takes… No Good Deed Is Definitely NOT a Trailer For Deadpool 2 Read More
Viceroy’s House 3.5 stars
Gillian Anderson as Lady Mountbatten, last Vicereine of India, does that peculiar shoulder-slouching thing all through Viceroy’s House in the manner of members of the British upper classes who are rather embarrassed by their extreme privilege. This is not a criticism by the way – Anderson is brilliant as the terribly clipped, terribly rich Edwina who nonetheless genuinely tries… Viceroy’s House Read More
The Witch 4 stars
A missing baby, an evil woman lurking in the woods… as a straight-up horror film about witchcraft The Witch is frighteningly effective; though it’s also about the descent into psychological warfare within a previously loving family. Even with its living breathing monsters, it can still be interpreted as solely an allegory birthed from over-fertile imaginations; though whichever view… The Witch Read More
Logan 4.5 stars
Logan isn’t really about superheroes. It’s about ageing and its accompanying vulnerabilities and failing bodies; the fear of death masked as obstinacy and intransigence; about what makes a family, and how families pull you back in whether you want them to or not; about the loss of the old and sacrifice for the young, and also of… Logan Read More
