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

INTERVIEW: Matt & Tori Butler-Hart on their parallel universe lockdown movie

13th April 2021 by Sarah Leave a Comment

I was offered a regular role in a well-known TV soap back in 2004/5 and turned it down… I do wonder what *that Matt* is up to. Read my 4-star review and watch the trailer — and check out my (very spoilery) article on the film. Tori and Matt Butler-Hart, the wife-and-husband team behind Fizz… INTERVIEW: Matt & Tori Butler-Hart on their parallel universe lockdown movie Read More

Locked Down 3 stars☆☆☆☆☆

14th January 2021 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Just as they decide to separate, Linda and Paxton find life has other plans when they are stuck at home in a mandatory lockdown.  It may have more holes than my bubbling sourdough starter, but I enjoyed Locked Down a lot more than I enjoyed lockdown, the claustrophobia-induced frenzy of Doug Liman’s film all too… Locked Down Read More

Songbird: the more things change the more we stay the same

12th December 2020 by Sarah

This is spoilery as I’m delving into some of Songbird’s characters (and John Wick: Chapter 2, for reasons which will become clear). My three-star review, which is here, is no more spoilery than the trailer. Rich people heading out of town, taking the virus with them; sweetly personal stories about the lengths people will go… Songbird: the more things change the more we stay the same Read More

TENET release dates… released

28th July 2020 by Sarah

*** My 4-star review *** If lockdown has taught me anything it’s that TENET release dates should not be considered final.
