I’m not a fan of people having bits chopped off onscreen even if they’re really evil, in which case chop off all the bits, just do it in another room. But I’ve noticed a trend in movies that takes giving someone the finger to a whole new level. Yes, digit-docking is a thing. You can see… Severance Pay (NSFL: Not Suitable For Lunchtime) Read More
2018 Movies – The Ones To Watch (And Then Watch)

Top 20 Movie Reviews from 2017

My 2017 Movie Moments
Don’t worry, 2017 is the year, not the amount – there are only 10 on my list. In the cinema I started January with La La Land, and finished December with Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

Marshmallow Movies – That Sinking Feeling, But In A Good Way
Twinsets, bonnets, women behaving appallingly who I’ll make endless excuses for, bearded men in chunky knitwear, spaceships, middle-aged sex, Santa, and Satan.

Once More Onto The Beach Dear Friends… Yes Let’s Talk About Dunkirk
This is a fight for freedom – freedom to diss aspects of Dunkirk! And to rewrite famous Shakespearean quotes for my own nefarious purposes too. It’s okay, I’ve got my flak jacket, I’m lying on the ground with my hands over my ears, and I’m primed for two weeks of fallout.
