An investigative journalist jumps bail, only to find the bounty hunter on her trail is her ex-husband. The Bounty Hunter is lazily written, with a stupid plot. He’s a loser. She’s orange. And yet I gave this inanity 2.5 stars. And I’m now so chin-strokingly worthy, I didn’t even lob it an extra half-star for… The Bounty Hunter Read More
Christmas In The Caribbean: Liz Hurley starring in upcoming festive frolic
I don’t think I’ve seen Liz Hurley in a movie since she played Vanessa “Fembot” Kensington in Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, firing bullets out of her “machine gun jugglies”*. I guess after an iconic turn like that you have to think carefully about your next high profile acting gig. *Five minutes ago,… Christmas In The Caribbean: Liz Hurley starring in upcoming festive frolic Read More

Isn’t It Romantic 4 stars
I’m delighted to say that Isn’t It Romantic doesn’t have one original idea in it. You’ll have seen them all before, in a thousand romcoms – but director Todd Strauss-Schulson has taken those ideas, chucked them into the air then watched them fall to the ground in perfect order, a bit like if Rebel Wilson did… Isn’t It Romantic Read More
Crazy Rich Asians 3.5 stars
Oh Nick! Born into a family of billionaires – information he doesn’t share with long-term girlfriend Rachel until they’re flying first class from New York to Singapore – he’s gorgeous but a bit clueless. Frankly I’d be livid if the boyfriend who kept borrowing my Netflix password turned out to be rich enough to actually… Crazy Rich Asians Read More
