Senior Year 3 stars☆☆☆☆☆

24th May 2022 by Sarah Leave a Comment

A cheerleader wakes up from a 20 year coma and goes back to school. What the slut! Going from desperate Insta Likes-chaser to putting the woke into woke-up, Stephanie (Rebel Wilson) has quite the journey after being roused from her two-decade coma, even though she never leaves her home town. This is a fairytale of… Senior Year Read More

Finding The Way Back 3 stars☆☆☆☆☆

17th July 2020 by Sarah

Jack Cunningham was an HS basketball phenom who walked away from the game, forfeiting his future. Years later, when he reluctantly accepts a coaching job at his alma mater, he may get one last shot at redemption. Like many redemption-via-sports movies, Finding The Way Back is less about looking outwards at the court, track or… Finding The Way Back Read More

Booksmart 4 stars☆☆☆☆☆

9th June 2019 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Usually the kids in teen comedies leave me feeling incredibly old, but Booksmart‘s Molly (Beanie Feldstein) and Amy (Kaitlyn Dever) seem even more middle-aged than me. They’re very clever, and very hard-working, and only have one day left at high school before graduation. That focus and drive means that even school Principal Brown (Jason Sudeikis)… Booksmart Read More

Look smart, the “Booksmart” trailer is here

11th March 2019 by Sarah Leave a Comment

*** Read my Booksmart review *** Remember girls, if people try to pull you down, “fuck those losers. Fuck them in their stupid fucking faces”. (That’s a metaphor. I think.) Comedy Booksmart has already premiered at the SXSW film festival, and now we’ve got a trailer too. It’s the directoral debut of Olivia Wilde, and judging by… Look smart, the “Booksmart” trailer is here Read More

Massacre At Central High 3 stars☆☆☆☆☆

7th August 2018 by Sarah Leave a Comment

A new student starts at a high school and discovers it’s ruled by a clique of bullies. Luckily he finds a near-kindred spirit in a sweet female classmate. Soon a series of horrific deaths rock the school, but no one realises they are actually murders. And then new bullies move up to fill the vacancies…. Massacre At Central High Read More

Heathers 4.5 stars☆☆☆☆☆

2nd August 2018 by Sarah 1 Comment

The 80s was a blunt decade, designed to disrupt – oversized, brash and brightly-coloured, where the brave and bullish could succeed. In a time defined by red lipstick, shrinking violets need not apply. Everything is over-oversized in Heathers. It’s even bigger, brasher, brighter and more vicious than the decade it satirises. Unsurprisingly in this live-action,… Heathers Read More

Breakfast Club 3.5 stars☆☆☆☆☆

15th November 2016 by Sarah 1 Comment

The Brain, the Athlete, the Basketcase, the Princess and the Criminal. The new version of Cluedo where they all just stayed in the library the whole time wasn't looking too promising

I like to think of Breakfast Club as happening a few hours before Fight Club, a place where everyone gets all the talking they can’t do about Fight Club out of their system, as all anyone seems to do on Breakfast Club – apart from a brief interlude dancing round the study hall to “We… Breakfast Club Read More
