Life 3 stars
When it comes to single-cell organisms that can lie dormant for what seems like hundreds of years before being reanimated with some sugar and then causing complete havoc, I’m something of an expert – but they were at school today so I thought I’d go and watch Life instead. With the action taking place on the International Space Station, there are… Life Read More
It’s International Women’s Day! Hear Me Roar Like The T-Rex In Jurassic Park
Yes, it’s that day again when all the mysogynists pop up to ask when International Men’s Day is. So come on over and tell me how to be a feminist. Just kidding, I can google. Once I’ve stopped Hoovering anyway. Also if you remind me I’ll do a post on IMD which is on 19th November. As long… It’s International Women’s Day!

Arrival What “best of” film list this end-of-year won’t have Arrival at the top? Maybe one written by Cillian Murphy.

10 Cloverfield Lane 4.5 stars
