Send Help Movie Review

Linda Liddle (Rachel McAdams) is a mousey office worker who tries the patience of all her co-workers with her clumsy attempts at connection and over-the-top positivity. This hides a deeply lonely person who lives by herself, with her only real friend being a pet bird. When the patriarch of the company she works for passes away and she is overlooked for promotion in favour of the arsehole son, her world becomes that much dimmer.   //   With the establishment of that ...

Retro Movie Review – Morning Glory

The humour comes out most strongly when Becky become desperate to raise the show’s ratings and deal with the old school curmudgeon Mike Pomeroy (Harrison Ford) who as a link to the real news reporting of the past stands firmly in the way of her plans. The reel where those plans come to fruition in the film’s funniest twenty minutes.   //   The film has strangely uneven pacing and sometimes lacks direction, so there are times when your interest wanes in the proceedi...

Retro Movie Review – Southpaw

The film also provides further proof (if any more is actually needed) on how fine an actor Jake Gyllenhaal has become. His take on the lead role, that of boxer Billy Hope is absolutely mesmeric. His time in the gym and time spent training to learn the techniques of boxing have paid real dividends.   //   Gyllenhaal fills the screen with electricity and menace and he makes the most out of what is a rather pedestrian screenplay. Sutter’s ability to plumb the depths of ...

Disobedience Movie Review

Her return is an ...

Game Night Movie Review

It throws so many jokes your way, that even when some fall a bit flat, you know more successful ones are just around the corner. The cast is well chosen and the fresh faced Rachel McAdams and the ever sardonic Jason Bateman have good chemistry together and the always weird and wonderful Jesse Plemons plays the creepy cop next door neighbour perfectly.   //   You can’t tell too much of the story without giving away some of the delicious surprises in store, so the best ...

Doctor Strange Movie Review

It's about yet another rich, narcissistic, egotistical twat whose circumstance dictates a seachange to superheroism. It is heavily styled along the lines of Christopher Nolan's Inception but lacks his clever script to make the minutiae work. There are puzzling continuity errors - did nobody proof watch this movie? Equally puzzling are some of the action scenes that are extremely difficult to follow. Other scenes seem clunkily truncated - no doubt to be later expanded upon in a Blu-ray ...
