Once Upon A Time In… Hollywood 4 stars☆☆☆☆☆

17th August 2019 by Sarah 2 Comments

Warning: spoilers ahead, so no moaning please (unless of the art film kind) It’s been called a love letter to Hollywood, though with that title, Tarantino’s ninth movie also plays into our – and Hollywood’s –  love of re-booted fairy stories that have lost their original callous brutality and now finish with everyone living happily ever… Once Upon A Time In… Hollywood Read More

Valley Of The Dolls 2 stars☆☆☆☆☆

4th April 2019 by Sarah Leave a Comment

I knew the clothes would be terrific when I spotted Handbags by… in the opening credits. And it’s the outfits (along with the unintentionally fevered atmosphere) which stretches this film up to two stars. Small town girl turned New York secretary turned Hollywood model Anne Welles is elegant in a yellow maxi dress, a tight… Valley Of The Dolls Read More

TEASER TRAILER: Once Upon A Time In…Hollywood looks bright ‘n’ breezy

20th March 2019 by Sarah Leave a Comment

The short and bouncy teaser (below) is (mostly) much more lighthearted than I was expecting – featuring Bruce Lee (Mike Moh) fighting stuntman Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt), Sharon Tate (Margot Robbie) dancing, and a snippet of a joint interview with Cliff and actor Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio). We also get a very brief glimpse of Charles Manson (Damon Herriman). Robbie… TEASER TRAILER: Once Upon A Time In…Hollywood looks bright ‘n’ breezy Read More

Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr Story 4 stars☆☆☆☆☆

11th March 2018 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Technologies based on Hedy Lamarr’s invention are now so ubiquitous, and have had such huge effects on our lives, I rather feel that a little Hedy avatar should pop up before we email, tweet, or indeed go to war, that says “are you SURE you want to do this?” Think how many hot-headed, post-1990s wifi-enabled… Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr Story 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

Matt Damon Starring as Luke Hemsworth in Westworld

3rd November 2016 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Lookalikes - Matt Damon and Luke Hemsworth

I’ve finally started watching Westworld several weeks after everyone else in the whole world. And head of security Ashley Stubbs at the Westward theme park, played by oldest Hemsworth brother Luke, looks remarkably like that intergalactic liability, Matt Damon. If you haven’t seen Westworld yet, it’s a TV show about a wild west theme park… Matt Damon Starring as Luke Hemsworth in Westworld Read More

Actors With Even Longer Careers Than Kevin Bacon

4th October 2016 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Vespasian / Jim Broadbent, Trajan / Daniel Craig, Claudius / Helena Bonham Carter

Sometimes I look at a Hollywood actor and I think “dear god you’ve been around since FOREVER!”. Well you know what, it seems some of them really have. Back in the mists of time, in Ancient Rome, some politicians needed new publicity statues and went for a carving. Several weeks later they emerged, covered in chippings,… Actors With Even Longer Careers Than Kevin Bacon Read More

Don’t Lose your Head Over Henry, Scarlett

2nd October 2016 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Scarlett didn't find her friends' advice to "stay calm and don't lose your head" when marrying Henry VIII very amusing

England’s King Henry VIII married his fifth wife, Scarlett Johansson, in 1540. After sending Ryan Reynolds to the Tower where he languishes to this day, let out only once a year for London Comic Con when he gets to cosplay Ryan Gosling.
