Mosquito bites and water sprites in Barb And Star Go To Vista Del Mar
Entirely spoilery about the whole plot, though nothing was as surprising to me as discovering that culottes are apparently pronounced COO-lots. Who knew? (My four-star review is here.) How could I dislike a comedy about middle-aged women that begins with Barry Gibb and Barbra Streisand singing Guilty?

That’s 2017 the year, not the number of movies. And these are the 10+JW2 I’m most looking forward to seeing – don’t let me down, film makers! As I keep pointing out, it costs me a tenner to go to the cinema and that’s before you factor in the drinks afterwards to help me cope with… 2017 Movies I Want To See Either Side of John Wick 2 Read More
Anthropoid 4 stars
As Czech resistance fighters Josef and Jan try to locate their contact from the raggle-taggle remnants of the Czech Resistance, the constant low level terror at being found out or betrayed to the Gestapo is palpable. Nervousness skitters through every meeting as they all try to work out who can or cannot be trusted. Everyone is a… Anthropoid Read More
