Odeon cinemas made Belle the movie of the month. And rightly so! Not only is Belle an(other) compelling stand against our slave trading past, but its cast is simply brilliant. When Captain Sir John Lindsay (Matthew Goode, with way too little screen time) finds out he has a daughter from a liaison with a black … Continue reading
Well if you know Disney then you’ll know that they do enjoy rehashing their former glories every now and then. A new “humanised” version of Cinderella will be released in 2015. A new Lion King sequel and TV show is also in the making. And most of it is hit and miss. Maleficent, it has … Continue reading
Last night I went to see The Other Woman. From the trailer and synopsis, I expected to have a good time, but wasn’t expecting anything extraordinary. How wrong I was. Even though the core of the plot has been done before (think First-Wives Club), it gets a nice do-over. And a lot more humour thrown … Continue reading
Easter Monday I went to see The Love Punch. Starring Pierce Brosnan and Emma Thompson in the lead, with Timothy Spall and Celia Imrie as trusted sidekicks, this movie is another in the growing line of comedies targeted at what’s now being called the “silver economy”, aka people who are 60+. That obviously doesn’t mean … Continue reading
It’s no secret I have a definite thing for the 80s and 90s, so it should come as no surprise to you that I am about to review one of the best Tom Hanks movies. Personally, I find Tom Hanks to have two sides: the more popular one, where he plays attractive and loveable men … Continue reading
If you’re looking for a movie to see on a date night, or just something to go see with friends, this is TOTALLY for you. Think your classic chick-flick, then exchange all the main female characters with guys. Guys in their mid- to late twenties A “dick-flick” (trademark my flatmate). Jason (Zac Efron), Daniel (Miles … Continue reading
This year is seeing an extraordinary amount of books turned into movies. I’d read about this growing phenomenon before, but it seems 2014 is driving the point home: there are no more (or very little) original ideas left. Ergo a growing number of reboots, sequels and prequels and yes, books turned into movies. (Then again, … Continue reading
If you’re a Nick Frost/salsa/comedy/Chris O’Dowd fan, this movie is made for you. Bruce Garrett (Nick Frost) used to be a child salsa sensation with his sister and partner Sam (Olivia Colman). But on the night of the nationals, Bruce decides to give up salsa for good. Years later, Bruce leads a quiet and uneventful … Continue reading
If you’ve ever thought you had a dysfunctional family, think again and go see August: Osage County. Not only will you realise that most likely what you have at home is a hundred times better, but you’ll also see two Oscar-winning actresses fight like mud wrestlers. Based on the play by Tracy Letts, the plot … Continue reading
I know full well that I’m a total weeper. When something is emotional in a movie or a book, the floodgates just open and I cry like a baby. But to be fair, 12 Years A Slave had plenty of scope to make even the most cold-hearted person squirm. Based on the eponymous autobiography by … Continue reading
