This Easter, Watch Watership Down With Your Kids!

Don’t you think it’s weird that Christmas has so many movies but other holidays don’t? Like fine, maybe there isn’t a big enough audience for movies based on local or national holidays, but Easter should be celebrated by more or less the same amount of people as Christmas, right? It just didn't sit right with me that Easter was so neglected, so I naturally had to find the perfect film to watch with your family this Easter, even if the film wasn't technically made for the holiday. Luckily for you

Life Sucks - Have Some Chocolat

Whatever you do, don’t talk to me about the economy right now. Or politics. Or even whatever insane thing is going around on social media. As my mother always tells me, I can’t do anything about it so there’s no point worrying… But in order not to worry, I have to know and think about it as little as possible. One little problem with that, though: I like movies, and every movie coming out these days seems to be either suuuuper political or suuuuper bland, neither of which is really going to give

The Perfect Beatles Movie Already Exists

Look, I don’t think the FOUR new Beatles biopics are going to be any good, but that doesn’t mean I’m not enjoying everyone’s reactions to the casting announcement. From people saying that the actors are too well known (I only recognise two of them) to people getting mad about the racially inaccurate casting (they think Barry Keoghan is Asian???) it’s turning out to be hilarious. But if you ask me, there’s a more important question than whether or not the new biopics will be good, or whether or n

Gal Gadot Isn't a Bad Actress, She's Just Camp

Snow White sure was something, huh? I definitely can’t say it was good, but I’m not sure I’m committed to completely writing it off either. The CGI was weird—really weird—and the story was flimsy and soulless, but I think everyone who was trashing Rachel Zegler has pretty well been proven wrong. I absolutely loved her singing, and her acting wasn’t half bad either, so she was the highlight of the film for me… Or she would have been, if not for Gal Gadot. Don’t get me wrong, she’s terrible, but t

We Need to Talk About Ariana

I know it’s way too late to be writing about the Oscars at this point, and more importantly, I know that there was shockingly little to talk about. And yet, ever since I watched the ceremony, one thing has stuck with me: Ariana Grande. We first saw her come on stage from behind, and I haven’t been able to forget the way her collarbones were visibly jutting out - again, from behind. And to be fair, people did talk about it... For a day or two, at least. Now we’ve moved on, as though that was just

Why Severance’s Second Season Was Good - Not Great

It’s a strange change of tone, I know. The whole time season 2 was airing all I could post about was how much I loved it, how everyone should watch it... And I stand by that. But I’m not going to lie: Severance’s second season was not as good as the first. In theory, the second installment of a mystery trilogy should be the most exciting—you’ve established the world and it’s time for action—yet Severance is far from the only one whose second chapter suffers from metaphorical middle-child syndrom

Past Lives, Materialists, and Paralysis in Modern Love

I’m going to admit to something horrifically embarrassing: I signed up for a matchmaking service earlier this month. It’s old-fashioned, cringe, and a little bit desperate, I know… So imagine my surprise when the trailer for Celine Song’s new film Materialists dropped last week and I saw that the main character was a matchmaker herself. Even better, she’s not just finding love for others, but also being "forced" to choose between two hot and sexy men herself. Honestly? Sign me up. I was so inter

Mickey 17 Isn’t About What You Think It Is

By all accounts, I should have been excited to watch Mickey 17 - and I was! I’m not much of a gamer, but it reminded me of all the Hardspace : Shipbreaker playthroughs and analyses I watched, even though the film is apparently actually based on a book. As a lifelong leftist and anti-cap girlie, seeing the themes of indentured servitude and the darkest version of capitalism explored on screen was a deeply appealing premise... So tell me why I was disappointed. Or at least, I was disappointed at t

Bob Woolsey: It's definitely a bit of a movie stew through the back half there. The kind you make by throwing whatever you have left in the fridge into the pot.

Who is Luigi Mangione?

No matter what the crime is, we’re always desperate for answers, for some way to understand why bad things happen… And yet somehow it feels different this time. If was just the news not being able to shut up about Luigi Mangione, I could understand, but the fact that there are already multiple documentaries about a man who still hasn’t been convicted, well, it’s starting to make me a little uncomfortable. Perhaps this was inevitable from the moment we all realised he was hot. After all, our obse

What is Better Man Really About?

Better Man is the story of a man… Or is it? By the time most people watch the film, they already know that the focus of the new musician biopic, Robbie Williams, doesn’t quite look like himself in the film. To be a little more blunt about it : he’s a chimpanzee. It’s one hell of a creative swing - and it’s one that absolutely hit. But why exactly is Robbie Williams a monkey? What does it all mean? What is Better Man really about? Well, it turns out it’s about all of us. If you don’t know or care

God Give Me a Man Like Andrew Garfield

I’ve always been vocal about how weird parasocial relationships are. Claiming to love someone who doesn’t even know who you exist is pretty insane to me. Even worse is the fact that you’ve never met them, and therefore have no idea who they actually are - every single celebrity who’s ever been cancelled is proof enough of that. People often forget that idolisation is a kinder word for dehumanisation, and the fact that celebrities are being paid for it doesn’t really make it any better. … That be

The Genius of Severance’s Multimedia Universe

Severance is an amazing show. Everyone knows it by now. I don’t know if I should thank Apple TV or Ben Stiller or who, but Severance has turned out to be one of the rare shows that I recommend to literally everyone. I was nervous when season 2 came out, of course - would it live up to the hype? But luckily, it’s been more than meeting expectations so far. The visuals, the story, the acting… Nothing in life is perfect, but Severance is coming pretty damn close. But that’s not what I want to talk

The Grammys vs The Oscars : How We Reward Art

I don’t like awards shows - or so I say, at least. When I think about awards, the first one that comes to mind are the Oscars, and I do in fact dislike the Oscars, but if I think about the Grammys, all of a sudden I absolutely love awards shows. I’ve been watching clips from from this year's Grammys even though they're "old news" now... And yet I fell asleep halfway through the Oscars and just checked the winners the next day. So what gives? How can one ceremony be so good while the other is so…

Despite it all, I still love Captain America

This may be a controversial opinion, but Marvel did okay this time? Don’t get me wrong, I’m absolutely not saying that Captain America : A Brave New World is good, but it was okay, and for Marvel that’s big... Which is honestly a bit embarrassing given the amount of money and beloved characters they have to work with, but that’s not my point today. No, what I’m here to talk about is how even after all of Marvels mistakes, even after Sam Wilson replaced Steve Rogers, and yes, even after everythin

Companion Was The Catharsis I Needed

This year was the first Valentine’s Day I spent alone in two years - and less than a month after the end of a rough relationship, too. It sounds depressing as hell, I know, but thank god for cinema because Companion basically saved me. I didn’t watch it on Valentine’s Day itself - that was reserved for the eternal classic Down With Love - but I did watch it a few days beforehand and I genuinely think it’s changed my brain chemistry over the past few weeks. So to all the recently single, the bitt
