New Year Rewatch Review – Sunset Boulevard
Sunset Boulevard, if you haven’t already seen it, is a scathing, withering attack on the morals and mores of mid-twentieth century Hollywood. And Hollywood wasn’t best pleased. Following an advance screening for the industry bigwigs, Louis B Meyer was apoplectic and tore into director Billy Wilder thusliwise… “You befouled your own nest. You should be…

Indie Movie Review-Sunny Side Up
Sunny Side Up is a dark comedy with a love story at its center. The movie focuses on Greg (Hunter Davis), a funeral director who is so self-critical that it becomes paralyzing. While on a thirty day leave of absence, he meets a unique woman who may be able to help him cope with his…

Christmas Movie Review – Happiest Season
—
Happiest Season is a Christmas film. I thought I’d better just make that clear given the article elsewhere! Anyway, this is a Christmas film through and through. The essence of it is a couple going away to spend the holidays with one of the families. It’s a fairly standard rom-com where one of the couple…

Movie Review – All My Life
—
All My Life could have been a great movie. Jessica Rothe and Harry Shum Jr did an excellent job in the lead roles, but where it fell flat was the supporting cast. They all felt forced and not properly given enough of a backstory to feel something for them. The story itself was heartbreaking. Rothe…

Miracle On 34th Street – 1947 vs 1994
A good story bears repeating. At least that’s the impression you get if you look into your average film studio’s output. Who knows… maybe there’s a future article in that? Anyhow, as it’s rapidly approaching Christmas, I thought I’d take a look at one of my favourite Christmas stories — and two films — I’m…

Rewatch Review – Love Actually (A Brit Perspective)
Back in October we were talking about articles for the run up to Christmas (yes, this stuff is all actually planned!) and the idea of a rewatch review of Love Actually was mentioned, especially a British take on the film. This took me a little by surprise, as I can’t help thinking that anything written by…

Indie Movie Review: Love In Dangerous Times – A CoVid Rom Com
Now, before the shouts of “there’s the bandwagon, get on board quick” start, let’s just be honest and admit we all knew that a whole pandemic/COVID-19/lockdown-themed genre would be arriving before too long. Love In Dangerous Times isn’t the first one that I’ve seen though; that honour goes to the brilliant Staged, starring the magnificent duo that…

New Movie Review – 2 Hearts
—
I’m compelled have to give 2 Hearts an ‘A’. I can’t think of anything the creators of this movie could have done to make this movie any better. Is it as good as recent A-rated movies like 1917, Ford v Ferrari, or JoJo Rabbit? Certainly not. It’s not that kind of movie. But they took…
