As someone who never got around to watching Matt Reeves 2022 take on the caped crusader The Batman (you know, the one with Robert Pattinson taking on the titular role in a darker, less polished version of the character), I was worried that I would be a tad lost when I sat down to sample […]
This week’s installment of Rings of Power felt a tad overstuffed – even if it desperately needed to hit on all those plot points and locales in an attempt to draw the various storyline threads together as the series approaches the end of the season. And while that’s not necessarily a bad thing from a […]
I’ll wholly admit to being skeptical about the decision to launch a spin-off of the exceptional – and, frankly, best MCU television series to date – WandaVision centered about Kathryn Hahn’s Agatha Harkness when it was announced. I mean, what was there to say about the character, whose revelation – and snappy song – was […]
Lee Miller was a war photographer who worked for Vogue during the Second World War. Her story gets put to screen with Kate Winslet starring as this remarkable woman and serving as one of the film’s producers. In 1938, Lee Miller was an ex-model and socialite who was a part of the artistic scene in […]
Brethren is the first novel by Robyn Young and the first part of a trilogy of novels set during the Eighth Crusade. In the middle of the 13th Century the Knights Templar has made many enemies, including The Knights Hospitallers and Prince Edward of England. In 1260 a book was stolen from The Knights Templar’s […]
The Substance is the second film from French director Coralie Fargeat. What she provided is the most stomach-churning film of 2024. Elisabeth Sparkle (Demi Moore) is a former movie star who has fallen on hard times. She’s 50 and seen as too old to front a breakfast TV aerobics show. When Elisabeth is at a […]
Charlotte is an indie British thriller that premiered at Frightfest 2024 and is now available on Amazon Prime. Roy (Dean Kilbey) is a man who lives alone in the middle of the Yorkshire Dales. He is on the sex offenders register, banned from internet access, and is spot-checked by the police. One night a young […]
There we go. This week’s episode of Rings of Power may have been heavy on the plot (and light on the fighting), but it centered Sauron – sorry, make that Annatar ::wink:: – which helped to make the talking and plot development go down much smoother. As I mentioned in my overall season review, the […]
When watching the first season of HBO’s huge hit series White Lotus* back in 2021, I remember thinking, “Natasha Rothwell is something special. I can’t wait to see her in a starring role.” Well, with How to Die Alone, the excellent new dark comedy series that premieres later this week on Hulu, the world gets […]
While I might spend a lot of time writing about (and watching) TV, my true passion lies in watching theatre (which I don’t review because I don’t want to turn something I love so deeply into a job – although I’m happy to offer recommendations should anyone want some). So, when I was in London […]
