Feline Christmassy? Check out my very spoilery plot recap below. (My review of A Christmas Gift From Bob is here.) In Bob’s new based-on-a-true-story movie, his owner (if any cat can be said to have an owner) James Bowen is nearly caught in a downward spiral as his fragile progress threatens to crumble, through no… James & Bob: cat-astrophe is averted, just in time for Christmas Read More

James looks back at the last Christmas he and Bob spent scraping a living on the streets and how Bob helped him through one of his toughest times – providing strength, friendship and inspiration – and ultimately teaching each other about the true meaning of Christmas spirit along the way. A typical Christmas gift from… A Christmas Gift From Bob Read More
Solitary: did they make it home?
Warning: very spoilery. (You can read my review here.) “Humanity is already dead if they think sending us up here is the way to save it,” says Alana to Isaac, during one of her increasingly frequent revelations of what kind of person she really is. “Killing is my drug,” she admits, as she tries to… Solitary: did they make it home?

Truth Seekers: the truth is out there (I mean in here)
Warning: very spoilery, so if you don’t want to know if ghosts exist (they do!

(my actual review of the series is here.) Truth Seekers, the… Truth Seekers: the truth is out there (I mean in here) Read More
Arctic-meets-space trailer for George Clooney’s The Midnight Sky feels far too close to home
*** The Midnight Sky: read my 3.5/5 review and article *** You can’t get more isolated than space and the arctic, and The Midnight Sky has both – not to mention an unfolding global catastrophe, and quite possibly a loo roll shortage too. I know, I know – but I can’t help life imitating art… Arctic-meets-space trailer for George Clooney’s The Midnight Sky feels far too close to home Read More

Oh Keanu, some buzzes are just bad
Like murder hornets. Or vibrators when the battery is dying. And now… this. 2020 has brought us some terrors. That asteroid. A sinkhole full of rats. The Mummy some “experts” were planning on opening. Trump! THE PANDEMIC! It’s been a bad, bad year. And now what little solace I had – looking at new pictures… Oh Keanu, some buzzes are just bad Read More
The Songbird trailer that’s getting people tweeting
What movies does one watch during a pandemic? Brilliant classics? Dumb comedies? Brilliant comedies? Films about, um, pandemics? There has been a lot of chatter this week on social media about upcoming thriller Songbird, a romantic thriller made during the pandemic and envisaging a world in a few years’ time where the COVID situation has… The Songbird trailer that’s getting people tweeting Read More
Songbird trailer offers a glimpse of a terrifying future, but is it too soon?
*** My Songbird review and article are now I’ve *** Two trailers have been getting attention for all the wrong reasons this week: Stardust, a movie about David Bowie that apparently doesn’t even feature his songs, and Songbird, a “romantic thriller” filmed during, and about, our current pandemic.

INTERVIEW: writer-director Natalie Erika James on her inter-generational horror story Relic

Epic trolling as the film club watches Beowulf & Grendel 4 stars
This is by no means the first fantasy starring Gerard Butler that I’ve enjoyed but I think it’s the first I’ve seen on screen. My Good-Bad Film Club companion Liz adores Game of Thrones, and Beowulf & Grendel – which came out in 2005 – is surely its precursor. I’m always behind the zeitgeist and… Epic trolling as the film club watches Beowulf & Grendel Read More
The Secret Garden 2.5 stars
An orphaned girl discovers a magical garden hidden at her strict uncle’s estate. I was underwhelmed by The Secret Garden but not the secret garden. The film feels soulless, its magic and reality uneasy (flower)bedfellows; while the garden is a gorgeously tangled, artfully curated wilderness housing everything a child, kept captive by an adult world… The Secret Garden Read More
