According to friends of mine who attend book clubs, I’m the only woman left not to have not read Paula Hawkins’ novel on which this film is based, which means you will be spared all that tutting when it veers away slightly from the novel and, for example, poor Rachel is wearing a grey frumpy… The Girl On The Train Read More
John Wick 3 Is A Goer And He Probably Shoots People
It’s been a whole two days since the last John Wick news when the trailer for John Wick Chapter 2 dropped at New York Comic Con, and I know we were all starting to get withdrawal symptoms. There’s now been confirmation from director Chad Stahelski that John Wick (Chapter) 3 is on the way, with… John Wick 3 Is A Goer And He Probably Shoots People Read More
BFG, The 3.5 stars
This film made a big impression on my 7 year old, although not without the odd misunderstanding – as I realised when he insisted to me that at the end the Queen had actually adopted the little heroine Sophie, as “Sophie called her Mam”. (It helps to have some northern DNA to truly appreciate that joke.) The best jokes… BFG, The Read More
John Wick’s in Italy but his Holiday Wardrobe is Tactical in New Trailer for Chapter 2
Last week we got a teaser trailer for John Wick Chapter 2 that saw everyone’s favourite reluctant assassin who-once-killed-three-men-in-a-bar-with-a-fucking-pencil being measured up for a new suit for a party (the Tailor Teaser Trailer?). At New York Comic Con a bigger trailer dropped (yes now we get trailers for trailers. Though with John Wick no one’ll be complaining). Check out… John Wick’s in Italy but his Holiday Wardrobe is Tactical in New Trailer for Chapter 2 Read More
Hell or High Water 4.5 stars
Hell or High Water is a film about a criminal (Ben Foster) who commits the ultimate offence of putting his gorgeous and much nicer brother (Chris Pine – we know he’s nice as he’s so handsome) in a ski mask for several minutes of this film. Okay actually it’s about a career criminal brother and his… Hell or High Water Read More
John Wick’s Off to a Party in Chapter 2 Teaser Trailer & Where’s My Invite
There’s a new teaser trailer out for John Wick: Chapter 2, ahead of a 7 minute trailer premiering at New York Comic Con this weekend. John’s off to a party where I imagine he’ll kill most of the guests when they don’t let his dog in. John Wick: Chapter 2 opens on 10 February 2017,… John Wick’s Off to a Party in Chapter 2 Teaser Trailer & Where’s My Invite Read More
Zombeavers 3 stars
When I tire of big screen blockbusters, shark films, or Brit romcoms starring Colin Firth looking awkward, I yearn for something a little more highbrow, something intellectual -something, dare I say, art house? Maybe in French, with subtitles, and smoking. These times are not when I watch Zombeavers. But sometimes, only “Zombeavers” will do. What’s not to love? It’s got cute furry critters,… Zombeavers Read More
Actors With Even Longer Careers Than Kevin Bacon
Sometimes I look at a Hollywood actor and I think “dear god you’ve been around since FOREVER!”. Well you know what, it seems some of them really have. Back in the mists of time, in Ancient Rome, some politicians needed new publicity statues and went for a carving. Several weeks later they emerged, covered in chippings,… Actors With Even Longer Careers Than Kevin Bacon Read More
Martian, The 4 stars
This movie has something for everyone. Matt Damon all alone on Mars. Naked Matt Damon. Matt Damon disco dancing. Learning how to science the shit out of stuff, with Matt Damon. Matt Damon’s video diary. 1,000 Potato Recipes by Matt Damon. And of course, growing your own food in poo (Matt Damon’s poo). Okay, it has… Martian, The Read More
Human (Short Film) Short Film 4 stars
Human won best science fi at the LA Film Awards and I can see why – like the best sci fi there’s a very human story nestling in this tale of lost robots. A young woman called Anna comes across a functioning human-sized android in a junk-filled warehouse and befriends him. She reads to him,… Human (Short Film) Read More
Touch (Short Film) Short Film 4 stars
This film is only about 15 minutes long but in that short time frame it certainly packs an emotional punch. Actually, make that a wallop. I did cry, in fact I ugly-cried, but it’s really worth the resulting puffy red face and soggy tissues. Touch is set in a snowy Canadian town, where Paul working in an appliances store is menaced… Touch (Short Film) Read More
Dragon (Short Film) Short Film 3 stars
At last, the Holy Grail of Sarah films – as it’s about a DRAGON and it’s SHORT. Really short! Like about 5 minutes. It’s the shortest short film I’ve ever seen. (God I was in HEAVEN – only for a very short time, but in a good way). A man has a delivery to his home… Dragon (Short Film) Read More
