Pippin is back and posing like the poster girl she is — two new posters for Meg 2: The Trench
The sequel to 2018’s $530 million-grossing megalodon movie The Meg is out in UK cinemas on 4 August, just in time for Brits stuck in drizzly Britain to head into the cinema for some warmth and a hot coffee. Those of you heading to boiling hot mainland Europe and hoping for some seaside respite, well,… Pippin is back and posing like the poster girl she is — two new posters for Meg 2: The Trench Read More
The Wham! trailer is here and it’s Fantastic
Dig out that Choose Life! t-shirt, spray some Sun-In through your hair, and remind yourself what the DHSS was… Wham! hold a special place in my heart as it was the first concert I ever went to (December 1984! I can’t remember exactly what I wore but I think it involved white stilettos). So I… The Wham! trailer is here and it’s Fantastic Read More
The Bounty Hunter: how it ends
With a kiss, obviously! Through the bars of two NYPD holding cells. Very spoilery (my review is here). Walter Lilley did not kill himself; he was killed by crooked cop Earl Mahler (the man in the black SUV who has been following Nicole). Walter worked at the NYPD evidence depository and had been letting Earl… The Bounty Hunter: how it ends Read More
The Bounty Hunter 2.5 stars
An investigative journalist jumps bail, only to find the bounty hunter on her trail is her ex-husband. The Bounty Hunter is lazily written, with a stupid plot. He’s a loser. She’s orange. And yet I gave this inanity 2.5 stars. And I’m now so chin-strokingly worthy, I didn’t even lob it an extra half-star for… The Bounty Hunter Read More
INTERVIEW: “We have a very morbid sense of humour here in Ireland…” Adam William Cahill on his Millennial zomcom Follow The Dead
Zombies, lacking any profound intentionality, just create the environment to let us see the worst of ourselves come to the fore. Adam William Cahill Writer-director Adam William Cahill’s first feature, the highly entertaining zomcom Follow The Dead, looks at how a family of soft Millennials in Ireland’s County Offaly cope as unverified viral videos claim that… INTERVIEW: “We have a very morbid sense of humour here in Ireland…” Adam William Cahill on his Millennial zomcom Follow The Dead Read More
Sam and Emma or Emma and Jesse? Actually everybody wins
And no I don’t mean the throuple that Sam’s orchestra got so excited about. In entertainment journo-speak, is it Samma or Jemma? Very spoilery (if you’re looking for my review, it’s here). So to Jesse’s surprise it turns out Emma hasn’t simply been treading water in her new low-key life while he’s been away, a… Sam and Emma or Emma and Jesse? Actually everybody wins Read More
One True Loves 3 stars
Years after he “died” in a helicopter crash, Jesse returns to find his wife Emma about to marry her best friend Sam. I admit that after watching the trailer for this slight, slushy yet just-endearing-enough romcom, I was fully Team Sam (the fiancé of Emma) rather than Team Jesse (her husband who returns after four… One True Loves Read More
New teaser: the sun is shining! Time for the beach and a Barbie-queue
“You’re all individuals!” “Yes, we’re all individuals!” Oops that was Life Of Brian (back in UK cinemas for Easter, folks!) not Barbie, though to be fair Barbie must have done as much hopping as Brian‘s ex-leper, considering how often she’d lose a shoe. Back in the late ’80s, there was a popular boyband called Bros,… New teaser: the sun is shining! Time for the beach and a Barbie-queue Read More
No stoner unturned? Follow The Dead explained (sort of)
Spoilers aplenty so a big blood-soaked “KEEP OUT” sign, grasped by a blotchy hand reaching up from the soil, if you don’t want to know what happens, or how it ends… (If you just want to read my review it’s here.) Zombies facing off with Millennials? As a woman of a certain age I’m still… No stoner unturned? Follow The Dead explained (sort of) Read More
The ending of John Wick (Chapter 4)
Extremely spoilery on the film’s ending, what it means and that end-credits scene. You have been warned, like a minor league hitman in the franchise wanting to make a name for himself. (My review is here.) “All that happens in John Wick is stabby stabby stabby stab someone with a pencil then stabby stabby stabby… The ending of John Wick (Chapter 4) Read More
