It’s been a while since I saw a film this genre-ambiguous. Seemingly a comedy lining up Bradley Cooper, Robert DeNiro & Jackie Weaver in the prime roles, Jennifer Lawrence tangents in and all of a sudden the film switches orbits, resulting in a very odd plot that goes nowhere near where you thought you were…
How in the hell had I not heard of this before? Adam McKay directing Will Ferrell and an excellent ensemble with all the trademark stupidity of situation and dialogue. Inane, and wonderful. 👍👍
Clearly a different style of show to his “wipes”, but at the same time essentially and necessarily similar – so it’s impossible not to invite comparison. Some pretty good stuff in here, albeit with a much slower pace than I’d have liked. And I think it was possibly aimed at a different audience (US/Netflix rather…
Oddball buddy setup with Kevin Hart (former highschool sports hero who became an accountant) and Dwayne Johnson (former overweight dweeb who became The Rock, and works for the CIA). I love a film that barefacedly walks in to a stupid premise. This one did just that, and now I think of it had BOTH a…

Co-starred King Tommen for most of it,…
I couldn’t BELIEVE that the original Zombieland film was 10 years old – hell of a long wait for a seemingly inconsequential sequel, and while it’s true this film isn’t going to change lives, it IS a wonderful & fun extension of the kickass story from the first film. I love Woody Harrelson embracing playing…
Totally didn’t recognise Renee Zellweger in this biopic focus on the latter years of Judy Garland’s life – what a surreal life though… People in the nexus of global adoration can end up leading lives so far detached from “the normal experience” (whatever that is), which Carrie Fisher did an amazing job of describing in…
MASTERPIECE. Liz was convinced we’d already seen this, but as it didn’t appear in my Media Roundups anywhere it’s clear that there’s NO WAY I could have already seen it. Even despite how familiar lots of bits in it were. But in any case, Samuel L. Jackson & Ryan Reynolds having an amazing time in…
