Elliott vs Wentworth: who wins? You decide!

25th July 2022 by Sarah Leave a Comment

If we’re going to update Jane Austen’s classic with lady hangovers, 21st century slang and house bunnies, then why not consider reworking the ending too. And who better to do this than me? Not only is this my website, but like Anne I am the middle one of three girls and the family dogsbody (don’t… Elliott vs Wentworth: who wins? You decide! Read More

What’s up, Docs? Chaos, cats and creation in Jurassic World Dominion

22nd June 2022 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Spoilers ahead. If you’re after my review it’s here. My comprehensive plot re-cap is here. I’ve long held a (flaming, waved in front of a hungry dinosaur) torch for Dr Alan Grant. The floppy hair. The red paisley bandana. His Jurassic Park combo of beige chinos and a blue shirt, the uniform of literally any… What’s up, Docs? Chaos, cats and creation in Jurassic World Dominion Read More

Old relics assemble! Age and obsolescence in Top Gun: Maverick

31st May 2022 by Sarah

I saw Top Gun at the cinema back in 1986 as a teenager, and its famed homoeroticism, plus added military fetishism, went way over my head like a stealth bomber without the bomber bit. I didn’t even fancy Tom Cruise during that decade, apart from in Risky Business, and that was mainly because of the… Old relics assemble! Age and obsolescence in Top Gun: Maverick Read More

The When The Screaming Starts serial killer table — how did your favourite do?

1st September 2021 by Sarah Leave a Comment

WARNING: VERY SPOILERY. Proceed at your own risk, as if you’ve just been shown round a motel bathroom by Norman Bates (If you’re after my review, it’s here. Or check out my interview with writer-director Conor Boru.) Cults are something of a Family business, albeit in Aidan’s case not a very financially successful one.

Werewolves Within: order of deaths!

5th July 2021 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Who is the Beaverfield werewolf? Is miserable Emerson Flint a misanthrope lycanthrope? What about postperson Cecily, the mythical seventh child? Or Trisha the crazy maple syrup lady (though that would mean she ate her own dog)? Could it actually be ranger Finn, the affable incomer? Only two people and one dog are actually killed by… Werewolves Within: order of deaths! Read More

“It’s just a flesh wound!” Separating Green Knight fact from fiction with Ralph Ineson

24th June 2021 by Sarah

Ineson plays the not-so-jolly green giant in David Lowery’s upcoming movie The Green Knight, which also stars Dev Patel as Sir Gawain. A24 have now released this short film Legends Never Die: An Oral History of ‘Sir Gawain and The Green Knight,’ narrated by Ineson — a crash course on the 14th century epic poem that… “It’s just a flesh wound!” Separating Green Knight fact from fiction with Ralph Ineson Read More

The horror! Something else I’ve been mispronouncing for literally my whole life

19th June 2021 by Sarah

And if that sounds like hyperbole, can I point out that hyperbole is probably one of the few words I have been pronouncing correctly (hi-PERR-bol-ee, bol-eev it or not). “We are so much more than our names,” purrs Gerard Butler’s lusty count sexily in Dracula 2000. I mention him because, well, I always do if… The horror! Something else I’ve been mispronouncing for literally my whole life Read More

Winner or dinner? Army Of The Dead: who dies, who survives, what we know and what we don’t

24th May 2021 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Very spoilery on what happens, plus I talk about those threads left hanging. This is long but not as long as Zack’s movie. Click down to the bottom if you simply want a list of deaths in order… (My four star review is here.) And if you don’t want to read the whole thing, TL,DR:… Winner or dinner?
