Well Groomed 3.5 stars☆☆☆☆☆

19th July 2020 by Sarah

A year immersed in the visually-stunning and humorous world of competitive creative dog groomers reveals that, no matter where or how, an innate passion for imaginative expression is universal. The decorated dogs in Well Groomed are like those Magic Eye pictures that were so popular 20 years ago. At first glance they are simply big… Well Groomed 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

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

Dusty & Me 2.5 stars☆☆☆☆☆

26th September 2018 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Dusty & Me is beautifully staged (it’s set in the 1970s, and looks of its time without being drenched in memorabilia), though one design element did grate. It was the Del Monte tinned fruit cocktail the family had for their tea one night, where I spotted a pink cherry in each bowl. No way did one… Dusty & Me Read More

Isle Of Dogs 4 stars☆☆☆☆☆

12th April 2018 by Sarah Leave a Comment

I’ll admit when I first heard about Isle Of Dogs I assumed it was actually set on the Isle of Dogs in London, perhaps starring those famous pooches from Eastenders, Willie, Roly and Wellard. In fact I was so consumed with what director Wes Anderson could possibly be up to on the Thames, I missed the… Isle Of Dogs Read More

LA Vengeance 1.5 stars☆☆☆☆☆

13th January 2018 by Sarah 2 Comments

When I read the brief blurb for LA Vengeance – LA as in Los Angeles, not La Vengeance which sounds like a murderous, bodice-ripping French opera that I would definitely watch – my heart soared. A hard-ass detective’s beloved dog is stolen by gangsters and he’ll go to any lengths to get the pet pooch… LA Vengeance Read More

A Dog’s Purpose 3 stars☆☆☆☆☆

30th April 2017 by Sarah Leave a Comment

it was at times like this he wondered what he'd done wrong in a previous life

“Is there a point to any of this?” muses Bailey, one of many dogs that are actually the same dog in A Dog’s Purpose. And I’d be lying if I denied I hadn’t thought that about the film itself a couple of times. Contrived and emotionally manipulative, with a plot you’ll guess within the first few minutes,… A Dog’s Purpose Read More
