I really liked the first Divergent movies, and I’m a mahoosive fan of The Host. If you step away from the young adult genre, I simply adore any adventure/end of the world/let’s save the planet film (The Core, Deep Impact, Armageddon, The Day After Tomorrow, Dante’s Peak, Volcano and so on…). So when my flatmate … Continue reading
I had to wait almost 2 weeks to go see the new Star Wars, because of course it was released in the UK the day before my flight home for Christmas, and as much as I’m a Star Wars fan, I wasn’t going to dump the family to go see it over the festive season. … Continue reading
I’ve never really understood what exactly happened in the 2007 Wall Street crash. Something about banks lying about mortgages… I’ve since found a video that explains it really well. Anyway, after seeing the trailer for The Big Short several times, I though, you know what? Why the hell not, let’s go watch something intelligent. In … Continue reading
As usual, the new (school) year brought with it an avalanche of TV shows that had three months to make or break. Knowing me, knowing you (ahaaaa), we watched a nice selection to see if they were any good. Here’s my take on the ones I’ll tune in again on when they return after Christmas. … Continue reading
Based on a true story, Spielberg’s new movie is powerful, gritty and political. Set during the Cold War, it follows insurance lawyer James Donovan (Tom Hanks) as he’s offered a case unlike any other: defending a convicted Russian spy, Rudolf Abel (Mark Rylance). At first reluctant, Donovan accepts the case as the CIA starts to … Continue reading
Let’s imagine for a second that the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs just passed us by. They’d rule the Earth right? Well at least Pixar thinks so. Set in what would be the USA now (some of it looked like Utah to me), the story revolves around this Apatosaurus family which is peacefully tending … Continue reading
A while back, I saw the trailer for Brooklyn at the cinema. Immediately, I thought “Yes! I’ll go see that”, and wrote it on my extensive list of films to watch. Then one day as I was looking into Waterstone’s, I saw the book lying on a table, and bought it. I read it in … Continue reading
Nancy Meyers does amazing movies. Many of the movies I own and love have been written and/or directed and/or produced by her: It’s Complicated, Something’s Gotta Give, Baby Boom, Jumping Jack Flash, The Holiday, The Parent Trap, What Women Want. She’s very good at showing love stories and friendships between people who are older than … Continue reading
I kinda like Ridley Scott. I prefer the stuff his brother Tony did, but they’ve also worked together so much (see The Good Wife), that you sometimes have to stop and think “which one was that?” I’m a big fan of Kingdom of Heaven, G.I. Jane, 1492: Conquest Of Paradise, Thelma & Louise. Later movies, … Continue reading
Movies about cancer aren’t rare. Good movies about cancer are. Think about it. Either, one of the characters is ill, but it’s left a bit by the wayside, mentioned here and there; or the whole movie is centred around the disease, but it’s more often than not romanticised. Even the hospitals. To be fair, I … Continue reading
