Ken Who?

31st January 2019 by Sarah Cartland 1 Comment

Kenneth Branagh should have his own edition of the kids’ game Guess Who?

Kean-Who? The Doctor Will See You Now

10th July 2018 by Sarah Cartland Leave a Comment

Cleverer than all of us put together. Immortal. Millions of fans around the world. Immortal. Time travel in a phone box. Immortal. Loves dogs. Immortal. I grew up on Doctor Who. Though I can’t claim superfan status as I was behind the sofa the whole time and probably missed some key plot points. And you know how much… Kean-Who? The Doctor Will See You Now Read More

Severance Pay (NSFL: Not Suitable For Lunchtime)

14th February 2018 by Sarah Cartland Leave a Comment

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

Best WTF Movie Moments

5th February 2017 by Sarah Cartland Leave a Comment

it was a lovely gift but Keanu was sure he'd actually asked for "a bagel"

I can honestly say I have NEVER had so many imaginary exclamation marks whizzing round in my head since I started reviewing films. I LOVE wtf? moments in movies though. Clunky, major plot hole-causing, or simply unexplained and then never spoken of again, they may be caused by simple errors, bad editing, or just someone a bit dim… Best WTF Movie Moments Read More

Seven Films I’ve Only Seen Half Of

30th January 2017 by Sarah Cartland Leave a Comment

'So I've written a story about us and I've called it '50 Shades of Beige'."

Social media LOVES its 7 hashtags. Currently most popular seems to be #7FavHorrorFilms, though #7FavFastAndFuriousFilms is also appearing (okay I may have made that last one up). But sadly I DO have Seven Films I Only Saw Half Of (sorry I mean #7FavFilmsIOnlySawHalfOf). Some of these I do still mean to go back to. When I get time.

NOISE COMPLAINT? Hell Yeah! John Wick’s Symphony Of Violence & A Poem

16th January 2017 by Sarah Cartland Leave a Comment

The Wick is Re-Lit

Want to see John Wick shooting his load over and over again? OF COURSE YOU DO! The new John Wick Symphony of Violence is filled with deaths from the original John Wick, set to Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture Finale. This is NOT another John Wick: Chapter 2 trailer, as let’s face it, if they drop many more trailers we’ll… NOISE COMPLAINT? Hell Yeah! John Wick’s Symphony Of Violence & A Poem Read More

Happy Friday the 13th!

13th January 2017 by Sarah Cartland Leave a Comment

One is a terrifying abomination that haunts my dreams, and the other is Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th

Obviously by happy I don’t actually mean happy. It is Friday the 13th after all. Just make sure you don’t slip over on the ice today perusing my website, and break your neck. Oh.

I’ve Found The Perfect Free Gift For John Wick’s Favourite Magazine

9th January 2017 by Sarah Cartland Leave a Comment

There’s a glossy-yet-shadowy magazine for assassins coming out this month, and I really hope that a pencil is the free gift with the first issue. (A decent quality pencil, tested to ensure each one can kill three people in a bar before breaking*). The new magazine is called Continental Quarterly and is the in-house publication of… I’ve Found The Perfect Free Gift For John Wick’s Favourite Magazine Read More

Hashtag AdviceForAurora

7th January 2017 by Sarah Cartland Leave a Comment

Hashtag Selfies for Aurora

So on Twitter the hashtag #SelfiesForAurora is trying to change the convo around creepy-stalker-in-space movie Passengers! So I thought I’d do mine. Though #EscapePodForAurora or #MaceForAurora might be more use. What can I say, with great age comes great wisdom. You can read my review of Passengers here.

2016’s Best Supporting Props

29th December 2016 by Sarah Cartland Leave a Comment

The new spray tan gun was already malfunctioning. George had asked for "sun kissed glow" but he seemed to have been given "pumpkin spice"

Let’s face it, without props films would just be naked people in a room with no furniture and no carpets. Actually that probably is a film already, but it’ll be Danish with subtitles and probably won an award from some made-up festival somewhere. But we need at least one “Best of 2016” list that doesn’t have… 2016’s Best Supporting Props Read More

He knows when you are sleeping! (as if I’d be asleep). He knows when you’re awake! (hell yes). He knows when you’ve been bad or good (bad John, so very bad).
