James & Bob: cat-astrophe is averted, just in time for Christmas

7th November 2020 by Sarah

Feline Christmassy? Check out my very spoilery plot recap below. (My review of A Christmas Gift From Bob is here.) In Bob’s new based-on-a-true-story movie, his owner (if any cat can be said to have an owner) James Bowen is nearly caught in a downward spiral as his fragile progress threatens to crumble, through no… James & Bob: cat-astrophe is averted, just in time for Christmas Read More

Cats – kids’ review! 1 stars☆☆☆☆☆

27th December 2019 by Cassian 1 Comment

This film is a U which means anyone can see it even little kids. It is a little bit scary though because of the cat costumes. I saw the trailer before and I thought the cats would be in a house a lot of the time but when I saw the film they weren’t. It… Cats – kids’ review! Read More

Cats 2 stars☆☆☆☆☆

26th December 2019 by Sarah Leave a Comment

I am very familiar with cats: the Good (cuddly, make great Instagram posts, the bug they can give you that makes you sexier); and the Bad (clawing your tights when sitting on your knee, peeing all over your carpets, making you feel like an intruder in your home when you want to sit on your… Cats Read More

Stardog & Turbocat 3 stars☆☆☆☆☆

5th December 2019 by Sarah Leave a Comment

This movie certainly understands cats and dogs, made up as it is of frenetic activity interspersed with longer periods when not much happens. Then the last 25 minutes really crank up the excitement, like that half hour starting at 6pm when cats go nuts and start running round the living room chasing their tails. Still,… Stardog & Turbocat Read More

Cats trailer: old fashioned yet from the future, not unlike real cats

19th July 2019 by Sarah Leave a Comment

*** my 2-star review is now live… *** Well that was different. I’ve just watched the Cats trailer, which has caused the internet to explode today. I thought it was half creepy & half interesting. Some scenes worked well (I liked the choreography and of course the singing), and some just looked bizarre (the tails of… Cats trailer: old fashioned yet from the future, not unlike real cats Read More

Watch “Cats – A Look Inside” featurette and then tell me you’re not feline excited

18th July 2019 by Sarah Leave a Comment

*** my 2-star review is now live… *** Giant sets. Digital fur. A stellar cast. And Judi Dench’s second chance. I’m not usually one for musicals. I find it hard to suspend disbelief long enough to accept someone breaking into period-inappropriate song while dancing round a lamppost twirling a chimney brush. (See also films about… Watch “Cats – A Look Inside” featurette and then tell me you’re not feline excited Read More

Secret Life Of Pets 2 3 stars☆☆☆☆☆

27th May 2019 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Cute animals in movies often become scene-stealers. Jonesy the ginger cat in Alien. Daisy the floppy-eared beagle in John Wick. Black Phillip the satanic goat in The Witch. Okay, not that last one. In The Secret Life Of Pets 2, it’s Rooster. He’s not actually a rooster, he’s a Welsh sheepdog, wonderfully voiced by Harrison Ford. He… Secret Life Of Pets 2 Read More

Can You Ever Forgive Me? 4.5 stars☆☆☆☆☆

9th February 2019 by Sarah Leave a Comment

There’s a scale for private letters from icons: $75 for a genuine Fanny Brice letter, $350 for a genuine Fanny Brice letter with a fake PS. Lee Israel, failed biographer turned successful forger, has probably stumbled upon one of the few lucrative careers in writing, so it’s a pity it’s illegal. It’s a writer’s job… Can You Ever Forgive Me? Read More

A Street Cat Named Bob 3 stars☆☆☆☆☆

18th November 2016 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Bob was finding that the "so you are a natural ginger" jokes about his naked selfies were starting to wear as bit thin

Based on the international best selling book. The true feel good story of how James Bowen, a busker and recovering drug addict, had his life transformed when he met a stray ginger cat. *** Read my review of the sequel, A Christmas Gift From Bob *** Based on a true story about a young man’s… A Street Cat Named Bob Read More
