Remember Prometheus? Remember how excited all fans of Alien were to hear that there would be a new movie? And how unimpressed they were? The general response seemed to be approximately along the lines of, “huh?” Which is kind of a shame, right? I mean, I wasn’t one of those kids who was really into the… Continue reading Movie review: Alien Covenant
For the past couple of months, I’ve been writing monthly roundups, having stolen the idea from Gordon and Siobhan. So far, I like the idea. It’s a bit like a status report and I do love any opportunity to monitor… well… anything, really. So, without any further ado, here’s my May round up: Financial status: Not bad, given… Continue reading May roundup
My major concern about Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 was that it wouldn’t be as fun as the first movie. For me, the first movie was enjoyable because it didn’t take itself seriously; it was tongue in cheek, silly, whimsical and, as a result, fun. I’ll basically watch anything Marvel produces but I definitely… Continue reading Movie review: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2
Last month I tried writing a round up for the first time, having stolen the idea from Gordon and Siobhan. It worked, I liked writing it, and I think it fits nicely with my Trying New Things posts, so I’m doing it again this month. Without any further ado, here’s my April round up: Financial… Continue reading April round up
When was the last time I had a bad movie night? Judging by the last post I did about it, it was over a year ago. That doesn’t surprise me much. A good bad movie night requires organisation, free time and money for beer and pizza. This time last year, Team Bad Movie Night had… Continue reading Bad movie night with a buddy cop theme
If you watched the most recent series of South Park you’ll be familiar with their lambasting of societies current tendency towards nostalgia. Here, the “member berries” constantly interrupt each other with comforting recollections, “member Chewbacca?”, “member Ghostbusters?” occasionally interspersed with less fun things about the past like, “member when gays couldn’t get married?” As usual,… Continue reading Movie review: Trainspotting 2
When I saw the trailer I thought, “Nah.” When I read the reviews I wasn’t much more interested. When people started talking about it at work, I was surprised. Thing is, La La Land kind of exploded and I couldn’t figure out why, so I decided I had better go see it. I didn’t think… Continue reading Movie review: La La Land
Here’s the premise of Passengers: The Avalon is a spaceship travelling to Homestead II, a colony of humans from Earth, who are heading there for all kinds of reasons. The ship is a bit like a luxury cruise liner, but the journey lasts ~150 years. The passengers spend all but the last 4 months of… Continue reading Movie review: Passengers
What can I say? I have free time again, I’m catching up on watching movies. Who can blame me? Now, even though I lost interest in the Harry Potter series half way through, I was curious about Fantastic Beasts. Honestly, at least part of this was because I’d heard that the costumes were beautiful. Don’t… Continue reading Movie review: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
Note: Hi everyone. Sorry for possible weirdness at the weekend. Sometimes WordPress does strange things when I try to schedule posts ahead of time. If you got an email with a link you can’t follow anymore, don’t worry, it’ll show up soon. In the meantime, I guess I’ll send WordPress another irritable email myself. Ok,… Continue reading Movie review: Assassin’s Creed
