Let The Wrong One In 3.5 stars☆☆☆☆☆

7th April 2022 by Sarah

A young man tries to help his sibling who has been turned into a vampire in modern-day Dublin. Trainspotter-turned-staker Henry might not be John Wick but he did once kill three vampires in a taxi with a sharpened stick, and if that isn’t nearly a pencil I don’t know what is. He’s on a mission… Let The Wrong One In Read More

Moonfall 3 stars☆☆☆☆☆

6th February 2022 by Sarah

The Moon is out of orbit, and heading on a collision course with Earth. There is one pet in Moonfall, but it is never in real peril. Otherwise Roland Emmerich’s old-fashioned, entertainingly silly sci-fi blockbuster ticks many of the genre’s boxes: an underdog no one listens to, government conspiracies, iconic buildings washed hundreds of miles… Moonfall Read More

Home Sweet Home Alone recap

14th November 2021 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Very spoilery, though most of it you’ve probably seen before… (My 2/5 review is here.) Pam and Jeff Mackenzie are selling their family home at an open house viewing day. Their children Abby and Chris don’t know they are moving, but since Jeff lost his IT job they can’t survive in the house on Pam’s… Home Sweet Home Alone recap Read More

Home Sweet Home Alone 2 stars☆☆☆☆☆

13th November 2021 by Sarah Leave a Comment

A young boy is left alone over Christmas, while a couple try to steal back from him a valuable heirloom. I watched this and civilisation did not collapse. Great nations did not fall. Untranslatable ancient scrolls did not crumble to dust. Also, parts of it I actually quite enjoyed. When Home Sweet Home Alone was… Home Sweet Home Alone Read More

Finch 4 stars☆☆☆☆☆

3rd November 2021 by Sarah

A man, a robot and a dog form an unlikely family in a dead world. There’s a scene in Finch where lanky robot companion Jeff, wearing a massive parka he’s found on a scavenging trip, stands alone in the rain — while his maker, Finch, stomps off angrily to the RV in which they are… Finch Read More

Gunpowder Milkshake ending explained

18th September 2021 by Sarah 2 Comments

Spoilers ahead (and to the sides, and behind you). My review is here. By the end of Gunpowder Milkshake, Sam’s aim is to end this violent tit-for-tat situation so 8 year old Emily has a future, which means getting The Firm off her back. Jim McAlester’s mob is now off the scene, after Sam, her… Gunpowder Milkshake ending explained Read More

The Last Bus 2.5 stars☆☆☆☆☆

30th August 2021 by Sarah 4 Comments

An elderly man takes his wife’s ashes from Scotland to Cornwall, by bus. Tom Harper, the old man at the centre of The Last Bus, is one of those people who says little while conveying a lot. Part-way through his long journey from John O’Groats to Land’s End he’s staying overnight in a scruffy hotel,… The Last Bus Read More

The Nest 5 stars☆☆☆☆☆

29th August 2021 by Sarah 2 Comments

An insecure British trader in New York relocates his family back to the UK at the start of the ’80s financial boom. Back in 1987 a Volkswagen Golf advertisement showed a beautiful blonde woman in London striding away in anger from her presumably feckless husband towards her reliable old VW, while literally throwing away the… The Nest Read More

The Man At The Bottom Of The Garden (short film) Short Film 3.5 stars☆☆☆☆☆

10th July 2021 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Jessica’s parents have been married for decades, but lockdown is proving difficult. And now mum has a plan to get dad out of the house. Made in and of a pandemic — a Zoom call set-up and a snappy 10 minute running time — this isn’t a horror, despite first appearances (and the plethora of… The Man At The Bottom Of The Garden (short film) Read More

Peter Rabbit 2 4 stars☆☆☆☆☆

21st May 2021 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Bea, Thomas, and the rabbits have created a makeshift family, but despite his best efforts, Peter can’t seem to shake his mischievous reputation. Slapstick, farmers’ market mockery and the benefits of a plant-based diet — Peter Rabbit 2 is the perfect blend of tradition and modern concerns. It certainly made me think about pet ownership… Peter Rabbit 2 Read More

30 years on, the newly-crowned Akeem discovers he has a long-lost son living in Queens.

An elderly man whose memory is failing struggles to hold on to his life and his memories, while his daughter is torn over how best to help him.
