May Movies, TV & Books Wrap-Up

Hi Guys, Wrap-Up time. We had some highs and disappointments in film and television this month. And that’s all she wrote. MOVIES Though all not listed here, this month I actually watched thirty movies. Hold the applause – it was now accidental victory as I challenged myself to watch “A Movie a Day in the […]

Movie a Day in the Month of May

Nobody: Me: I might watch a movie a day in May because it rhymes. So I have actually done this once before back in 2017 – last year I forgot, and so here I am, back once more after all my umming and ahhing on Twitter. I find it a great way to have an […]

Finally Watched: Save The Last Dance (2001)

I genuinely thought that I had watched this movie before. In fact, I have it on DVD and it’s not in the cellophane packaging. Turns out I hadn’t. Turns out I’d only watched the first ten minutes year and years ago before apparently getting bored. I decided it was high time to rectify that. After […]

Film Review: Booksmart

You’re either labelled book smart or street smart – but who says you can’t be both? The Synopsis Amy (Kaitlyn Dever) and Molly (Beanie Feldstein) are thrilled to be graduating high school at the top of their class, as well as having ivy league colleges secured for the Fall. But what Molly didn’t expect, is […]

Film Review: Aladdin (2019)

Guy Ritchie’s Aladdin was more often than not, hotter than hot in a lot of good ways. What I mean to say, is that it was more than just another Arabian Night. The Synopsis Smooth criminal and legendary street rat Aladdin (Mena Massoud) has his life changed forever when he helps a woman in the […]

Netflix Review: See You Yesterday

Best friends and genius’ C.J (Eden Duncan-Smith) and Sebastian (Dante Crichlow) have done the impossible – they’ve cracked the space-time continuum and now possess the ability to go back in time. Revolutionary and exciting, but also dangerous to boot, like most things in life, actions have consequences, and when you tamper with time those consequences […]

Rewatched: The Prestige (2006)

The secret impresses no-one. The trick you use it for is everything The Why This used to be one of my favourite movies; the story intrigued me and I remember feeling like I never confirmed the meaning of the ending. Many years have passed since I last watched The Prestige, and as I unfortunately have […]

Film Review: John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum

With every glory and money hungry assassin on his tail, the only thing Mr Wick can do to stay alive, is prepare for war. The Synopsis As a next chapter intends, John Wick Chapter 3, picks up right where Chapter 2 ended; with a $14million bounty placed on Mr Wick’s head, ready to be taken […]

Film Review: Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil And Vile

Extremely interesting, shockingly good acting and actually not that violent. The Synopsis When Ted Bundy is pulled over by the police one night as he drives back to Seattle, it sparks off a chain reaction that has him accused of the murder of numerous young women across multiple states. As an intelligent and charismatic man […]

April Movies, TV & Books Wrap-Up

A third of the way into the year and I think this month really helped up my Movie numbers. However, as per usual, I can only do well in one category at a time. MOVIES Smashed it. Even without my DC Animated Universe watches, I think I did pretty darn well across the board with […]

Film Review: Avengers: Endgame Spoiler Free

If you have watched Avengers: Endgame, check out my previous post for a review that is full of spoilers… If you haven’t… Stay right here! No matter when you embarked on this saga, it’s still the end of an era, the end of the road, the end of the line…. but our heroes still have […]

Film Review: Avengers: Endgame

The Warning This is going to be a spoiler-ridden review. It’s not terrible but I really couldn’t help myself as my first attempt to remain vague and allow a shroud of mystery failed pretty damn quickly. However, I did manage to pull out a Spoiler Free review from this which is the very next post. Now […]

Finally Watched: Speed (1994)

In all honestly aside from John Wick, all I know Keanu Reeves from is The Matrix trilogy (and I think I saw Constantine a few years back?). It’s been in the back of my mind to go back and watch a few of his old movies with John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum coming soon, and so I […]

British TV: Curfew

Created and Written by Matthew Read Broadcast: Sky One Concluded: 12/04/19 Synopsis: England has been infected. Safety means a government implemented curfew and no escape. That is unless you’re crazy or smart enough to take part in the race. Cast: Sean Bean, Adrian Lester, Rose Williams, Miranda Richardson, Malachi Kirby Episodes: Eight There is no escaping the Mooks […]

Film Review: Little

Being Big is so 1988 – now as adults we spend our times wondering what it would be like to be little once more. The Synopsis Jordan Sanders (Regina Hall) is smart, confident and determined. Unfortunately she’s also a terrible person, and therefore the worst boss you could never ask for. Not that it’s entirely […]

Rewatched: About A Boy (2002)

I do not want to spend Christmas with Ms. Granola Suicide and her spawn. The Why After reading that Hugh Grant had been nominated for a BAFTA for his role in A Very English Scandal and that Four Wedding and a Funeral was getting a remake, I started to think about Grant’s older movies. There […]

Netflix Review: Unicorn Store

Kit (Brie Larson) – a disgraced former art school student is back living at home with her parents. Working as a temp she no longer believes in herself or her work, but Kit one day gets the chance to turn it all around and obtain her heart’s desire: A Unicorn. As strange and unexplained as […]
