Alternate Endings: Six New Ways to Die in America 3.5 stars☆☆☆☆☆

13th August 2019 by Sarah Leave a Comment

A funeral industry expert in the US predicts significant numbers of closures of traditional funeral homes over the next few years – in the death business, it’s adapt or die. Funerals, like weddings, sure aren’t like they used to be. From tubs of Irish earth so expats can be buried in a part of their… Alternate Endings: Six New Ways to Die in America Read More

Destination: Dewsbury 2 stars☆☆☆☆☆

23rd February 2019 by Sarah 3 Comments

It’s a huge shock when the first one of your generation dies, as delusions of immortality crumble and the reality of middle age looms.

Beast Of Burden 2 stars☆☆☆☆☆

22nd July 2018 by Sarah Leave a Comment

A beast of burden is usually a mule, and that’s actually what pilot Sean Haggerty (Daniel Radcliffe) is; a mule for a violent cartel, running drugs over the Mexican border. He’s also burdened with much more though, and has got himself caught in a mesh of interlocking dangers that are gradually crushing him. Sean is… Beast Of Burden Read More

New Life 2 stars☆☆☆☆☆

29th November 2017 by Sarah Leave a Comment

New Life – the title has several meanings that become clear as the story unfolds – isn’t saying anything new. But it is lifted by a nicely-pitched central performance from an actress who just gets better as her character is tested to the max. As a young boy Ben (Jonathan Patrick Moore) moves to the… New Life Read More

Film Stars Don’t Die In Liverpool 4 stars☆☆☆☆☆

13th November 2017 by Sarah 2 Comments

In any 1970s-set movie, it’s easy to rely on the obvious props (though actually wallpaper was hideous, kitchens were green Formica and TVs were fat boxes that you had to walk over to if you wanted to watch another of the three available channels). But often it’s tiny background details that most sum up a… Film Stars Don’t Die In Liverpool Read More

A Family Man 3 stars☆☆☆☆☆

"Look I ordered an american accent a week ago with Amazon Prime and it's still not here!"

“You made me a mother” says Elise (Gretchen Mol) to her eldest child Ryan, who is being treated for leukaemia, and I know just what she means, but he’s also her husband Dane’s firstborn and becoming a parent doesn’t seem to have made him much of a father. A Family Man was originally called The Headhunter’s… A Family Man Read More

“A Family Man” Trailer Has Everything! (Including Most Of The Plot)

20th March 2017 by Sarah 2 Comments

"Look I ordered an american accent a week ago with Amazon Prime and it's still not here!"

Yes, almost the whole story – including the hero’s life lesson at the end – is in the trailer. Or maybe it’s a short film, not a trailer at all. Still at least it means it’ll be impossible for me to accidentally spoiler as THEY’VE ALREADY DONE IT. Click here for A Family Man full review… “A Family Man” Trailer Has Everything!
