“I loved him, but was I in love with him?”
Absolutely not what I was expecting, but all the better for it, honestly. I really loved this film. Intriguing and captivating throughout, a much weirder and wilder experience than I was expecting. Emerald Fennell does such a great job at subverting expectations throughout, moving the film carefully through its twists and turns, making it such an engrossing film.
Written and directed by Fennell, who does a…
“I think you want to become a star.”
“Honey, you don’t become a star. You either are one, or you ain’t. I am.”
This blew me away, totally didn’t expect to like it as much as I did. A perfect blend of chaos, insanity, all tied up in a love letter to not only 1920s/1930s cinema, but the movie medium as a whole. It’s brilliantly funny, insane at times, but it manages to really stick the…
“No such thing as monsters?! We’ve got a bloody Martian in the shed!”
Russell T Davies is certainly back with a bang. This feels straight out of series 4, a big bombastic opener to the 60th, with a lot of great moments, and an almost cinematic feel. I’m giving it a high 3.5 for now, but can see it improving on rewatch. It’s got a lot to do in 60 minutes and that does show with the pacing that at…
”We could grab a drink.”
”Erm, I’m married… and gay.”
”Why’d you have to say two things?!”
A really fun and enjoyable comedy if a little predicable. Held up by its to central leads, Awkwafina and Sandra Oh, both playing against their usual roles but both excelling, brilliantly funny at times, and always having great chemistry together. Will Ferrell plays the straight man well, and Tony Hale injects some silliness in his smaller but memorable role. …
“Can the spider come out and play?!”
Well, guess I got a new favourite film of the year and favourite MCU movie in one go. It was great to see this in a packed out cinema, with plenty of lovely reactions to even the littlest moments here. Spider-Man is my all time favourite hero, and this film, for me, ticked all my boxes. I’m not going to spoil anything but for as much fan service as…
“Did anyone check if the weasel could swim?!”
This is everything the first movie promised and didn’t deliver. A fun, action packed, gore-soaked team up movie with a heavy dose of dark comedy that actually manages to come together. The action is great, and there’s plenty of unexpected moments that came as a pleasant surprise. It’s probably the best DCEU film to date, never a moment that feels dull or slow, it’s fast paced and knows exactly what…
