Holy BeeGees-us! My journey from eh? to bee

5th January 2021 by Sarah Cartland Leave a Comment

It happened so quickly. One day I was watching Frank Marshall’s new Bee Gees documentary for the first time, coming to it with a rough memory of their disco years coupled with a vague understanding of a half-life before and after, culminating in them walking out of a 1997 interview with hilarious chat show host… Holy BeeGees-us!

2020: That Was The Year That Wasn’t…

3rd January 2021 by Sarah Cartland Leave a Comment

…but also so long they named it twice. One pandemic. Two national lockdowns. Three release dates for No Time To Die. It’s quite fitting that my first and last reviews of 2020 were about family: Little Women, a story about holding on to yourself and your identity, whatever life throws at you; and The Midnight… 2020: That Was The Year That Wasn’t… Read More

Greenland interviews: “It wasn’t your typical hero who’s going up there to punch a comet in the face”

7th December 2020 by Sarah Cartland

Wait, what? Is this a Gerard Butler film or isn’t it? Disasteroid flick Greenland – out in the US on 18 December online, and in the UK early in 2021 [UPDATE: 5 FEB] – is not, it turns out, your typical disaster film.

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

“The idea that these memories could be within this never-ending sinister space, a labyrinth-like space, that was really the first image and the starting point.” Relic director and co-writer Natalie Erika James Natalie Erika James’s bold and shocking horror Relic takes place in an outwardly serene and beautiful family home in Australia, a home that inside… INTERVIEW: writer-director Natalie Erika James on her inter-generational horror story Relic Read More

Director April Wright: “They always say, once a stuntwoman, always a stuntwoman and it’s absolutely true.”

13th October 2020 by Sarah Cartland

“To know [women did these stunts] 100 and something years ago erases the question of ‘can they do it now?’ Well of course they can do it now. Look at what they did back then.” April Wright Women have been jumping from moving motorbikes onto moving trains for our movie pleasure since the 1910s.

INTERVIEW: Tyler Cornack on his movie Butt Boy, the colonic tonic we’ve been waiting for

9th June 2020 by Sarah Cartland Leave a Comment

Tyler Cornack’s thriller-comedy-horror Butt Boy – the film that launched a thousand puns – is deadpan funny with a crazy premise, as detective Russel Fox (Tyler Rice) tries to bring to justice a man he suspects is kidnapping children by absorbing them up his bottom. But it’s also quite moving, in a non-laxative kind of… INTERVIEW: Tyler Cornack on his movie Butt Boy, the colonic tonic we’ve been waiting for Read More

Let’s go (back) to the movies: flashbacks to film memories

5th May 2020 by Sarah Cartland Leave a Comment

Thinking about what to call these lockdown reminiscences – about films and cinemas – I was reduced to googling the full lyrics to Memory as a joke. It turns out they’re worryingly apt, so we may yet find that Cats becomes the voice of cinephiles rather than their punchline. That’s one hell of a “new… Let’s go (back) to the movies: flashbacks to film memories Read More

“You dip so much as a pinky back into this pond, you may well find something reaches out and drags you back into its depths”, says Winston to John in the first John Wick film, but he ignored the warning and so will we.

Gerard Butler’s ‘Fallen’ Oeuvre

24th August 2019 by Sarah Cartland 2 Comments

Less a deep dive, and more – considering the less than philosophical subtexts to the three Has Fallen movies – a shallow bellyflop, it’s time to look back at Butler’s battles as Mike Banning.
