The Last Bus: the terminus approaches

30th August 2021 by Sarah 1 Comment

Sorry for the bad taste pun but it was that or “end of the road”. Yes, Tom makes it to the end of his journey, literally. This is very spoilery about his past and how the ending plays out, so if you’re just after my review it’s here. Though initially we are led to believe… The Last Bus: the terminus approaches Read More

Nowhere Special – the ending

5th August 2021 by Sarah 3 Comments

Spoilers, and hankies, a go-go. (My four-star review is here.) When I said in my review that there’s a “happy” ending, I meant as happy as it can be, which means the audience too achieving some acceptance of the inevitability of John’s death. But it is happy, because John can now die safe in the… Nowhere Special – the ending Read More

A dying father seeks a new family for his young son. There are times when I want to have my heart broken at the movies and times when I most definitely don’t.

Military Wives 4 stars☆☆☆☆☆

9th March 2020 by Sarah Leave a Comment

A group of women set up a choir on a military base while their partners are on a tour of duty on Afghanistan. I cried so much during Military Wives – to put it in resolutely British terms, a light drizzle turned into a cloudburst and then a solid, steady downpour – I should probably… Military Wives Read More

The Rhythm Section 3 stars☆☆☆☆☆

30th January 2020 by Sarah Leave a Comment

As a baby assassin, Stephanie Patrick (Blake Lively) is rough and not particularly ready, moving either too fast or too slowly.

Invasion Planet Earth 2 stars☆☆☆☆☆

4th December 2019 by Sarah 1 Comment

It never rains but it pours as we like to say in weather-obsessed Britain, and that’s certainly true of Invasion Planet Earth. Not literally. This isn’t Geostorm. But our planet, already on the brink of a world war, is faced with an alien invasion. Simon Cox’s feature (he directed, produced and co-wrote the screenplay) has been… Invasion Planet Earth Read More
