Looking at my ever-expanding watchlist it’s chock full of powerful dramas, epics sagas and inspiring biopics that have been recommended by my cinema-going peers, or new releases that have landed on Netflix and the like, but sometimes I just really fancy something silly, stupid and slightly crass and going by my memories of the trailer…

Last Christmas (2019) Film Review
For me, Christmas movies tend to fall into two camps, both of which I’m pretty happy with. We’ve got the watch-a-billion-times classics such as The Holiday, Love Actually and Arthur Christmas that become part of the fabric of our Christmas traditions and then we have the overdosed-on-sugar, over-the-top schmaltzy gems that are so bad that…
Love Hard (2021) Film Review
When the nights start drawing in, the weather turns frosty and the bombardment of Christmas begins in the supermarkets, there’s only one thing to do and that is embrace the Christmas spirit and bust out the festive movies. As well as the good old faithful’s like It’s a Wonderful Life and Love Actually, there’s always a wide variety of gloriously…
Modern Classic: 500 Days Of Summer (2009) Film Review
Hey everyone!! It’s been a little while but I think it is high time for another ‘Modern Classic’. For those of you who are new to the blog, or just need a little reminder, I am trying to work my way through those (retro and modern) classic films that I, rather shamefully, haven’t got around…
Hidden Gem: Zack And Miri Make A Porno (2008)
Zack and Miri has been one of my favourite comedies since it was first released in 2008 but in my opinion it doesn’t get the appreciation it deserves so when it was recently added to Netflix I figured it was the perfect time to review it as my next Hidden Gem. Director: Kevin Smith Starring:…
Series Review: Emily in Paris (2020)
One of the things about having too much choice on the likes of Netflix and Amazon Prime is deciding what to watch. A quick ‘let’s have a look’ turned into a binge watch and a midnight bedtime. When her boss’ unexpected pregnancy presents an opportunity, Emily, a smart young American woman takes her place in…
Film Review: Love Wedding Repeat (2020)
I am a bit of a sucker for a romantic comedy, in fact the cheesier the better, so on of Netflix’s latest offerings Love Wedding Repeat was sure to catch my attention and with Sam Clafin at the helm, it was a no-brainer really. The real question is whether Love Wedding Repeat has the staying…

Review: Love Actually (2003)
Whether they want to admit it or not, most people have a go-to Christmas movie, whether it’s the charming Will Ferrell comedy , Elf, or the timeless classic, It’s a Wonderful Life. For me, my Christmas movie of choice is the 2003 classic by Richard Curtis, Love Actually. Taking place during the lead up to…
Film Review: Falling Inn Love (2019)
In my opinion there is nothing better than a good romantic comedy, I know that’s probably not allowed in this day and age, but I don’t care, stick me in front of a screen with a rom-com and I am one happy damsel. Although I am quite content watching the same soppy film over and…
Review: Long Shot (2019)
There’s been so much great stuff on TV and Netflix lately that I’ve kind of been neglecting the cinema a little bit. Therefore, I’ve told Mark that this month we need to catch up a little and make up for lost time. With the sun coming out and the weather warming up, there’s nothing better…
