Golden Globes: more frocks than shocks
The Golden Globes took place last night, though I couldn’t find any way to watch them from the UK so I just critiqued the dresses online instead, and as it’s now 2020 I’m simply going to assume that every single one had pockets. It was therefore vaguely exciting waking up this morning to find out who… Golden Globes: more frocks than shocks Read More
Gretel And Hansel: final trailer has a demon in the kitchen

Little Women 3.5 stars
If you’re a struggling writer, don’t google what Jo March’s $20 payment for her short story, offered by a publisher who thinks all literary heroines should end up married or dead, works out as in today’s money. You’ll only start crying, and as an author you need to save those tears for Beth dying, I… Little Women Read More
A Quiet Place Part 2: the first trailer!
This time the Abbott family (what’s left of them, anyway) go looking for more survivors, and they aren’t that friendly: “The people that are left [ominous pause] are not the kind of people worth saving”. It won’t just be your nerves jangling as you watch the first proper trailer for A Quiet Place: Part II… A Quiet Place Part 2: the first trailer! Read More
2020 vision – 2019 in review
I’ll be making that joke all year so you’d better get used to it. But what a year it’s been! (It’s actually the law that all annual round-up articles start like that so don’t email me.) During 2019 several things happened: Like, you know, stuff. But most importantly, I was in the same room as… 2020 vision – 2019 in review Read More

Cats 2 stars
I am very familiar with cats: the Good (cuddly, make great Instagram posts, the bug they can give you that makes you sexier); and the Bad (clawing your tights when sitting on your knee, peeing all over your carpets, making you feel like an intruder in your home when you want to sit on your… Cats Read More
Jumanji: The Next Level 4 stars
Like Olympians declaring on camera after winning Gold that they’re never going to run / row / swim again, the four teens who ended up in the Jumanji video game two years ago were adamant that was it.
