*** UPDATE – my I, Tonya review! *** We haven’t got I, Tonya on release in the UK yet, but I’m really looking forward to seeing it.

Take That, Mr Getty!

11th January 2018 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Could it be magic? Well could it? I saw All The Money In The World today, the quickly re-shot movie about the 1973 kidnapping of the grandson of miserly billionaire J Paul Getty. Playing Cinquanta, one of the kidnappers, is actor Romain Durias. He’s wonderful in the film – a mix of jerky nerves and… Take That, Mr Getty! Read More

Henry Ford Can Be Played By Anyone As Long As It’s Steve Martin

9th July 2017 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Has Steve Martin played Henry Ford yet in a biopic* and if not why not. *I’m still not sure how to pronounce this. Biopic, not Steve Martin. So don’t bother commenting that “It’s stEEEV MAHtin”.

Ye Olde Lookalikes – It’s A Fair Cop

3rd July 2017 by Sarah Leave a Comment

I thought it was Keanu Reeves who was immortal but it turns out it’s Gerard Butler. I now want to see him wield his truncheon provocatively at me in a Keystone Cops reboot, maybe Scotland Yard Has Fallen. “Police Constable Mike Banning at your service, SIR!” (Found in a pub near me.

Santa’s Soggy Bottom

6th December 2016 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Christmas Lookalikes: As if delivering a billion presents around the world on Christmas Eve wasn’t stressful enough, Steve Claus  – militaristic son of Santa himself in Aardman’s animated Christmas caper “Arthur Christmas” – now has Paul Hollywood’s soggy bottom to contend with too.

Matt Damon Starring as Luke Hemsworth in Westworld

Lookalikes - Matt Damon and Luke Hemsworth

I’ve finally started watching Westworld several weeks after everyone else in the whole world. And head of security Ashley Stubbs at the Westward theme park, played by oldest Hemsworth brother Luke, looks remarkably like that intergalactic liability, Matt Damon. If you haven’t seen Westworld yet, it’s a TV show about a wild west theme park… Matt Damon Starring as Luke Hemsworth in Westworld Read More

One of these repeatedly made the same mistakes in his private life day after day. And the other is Bill Murray, star of Groundhog Day. And the other is Bill Murray, star of Groundhog Day.

Actors With Even Longer Careers Than Kevin Bacon

Vespasian / Jim Broadbent, Trajan / Daniel Craig, Claudius / Helena Bonham Carter

Sometimes I look at a Hollywood actor and I think “dear god you’ve been around since FOREVER!”. Well you know what, it seems some of them really have. Back in the mists of time, in Ancient Rome, some politicians needed new publicity statues and went for a carving. Several weeks later they emerged, covered in chippings,… Actors With Even Longer Careers Than Kevin Bacon Read More

Don’t Lose your Head Over Henry, Scarlett

2nd October 2016 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Scarlett didn't find her friends' advice to "stay calm and don't lose your head" when marrying Henry VIII very amusing

England’s King Henry VIII married his fifth wife, Scarlett Johansson, in 1540. After sending Ryan Reynolds to the Tower where he languishes to this day, let out only once a year for London Comic Con when he gets to cosplay Ryan Gosling.
