Baby Driver - Akello

Movie Review: Baby Driver

Look, Baby Driver isn’t for everyone, ok? It certainly wasn’t for me. (super mild spoilers ahead but no direct plot points, just vague exclamations) This is the thing, if you like Edgar Wright movies (the director/writer dude) then there’s a good chance that you will like this one too. He’s the guy who’s behind Scott […]

Movie Review: Wonder Woman

The older I get (I said frailly, balancing on my cane), the less inclined I am to go see a movie with a bunch of other loud, noisy young’uns people. Because part of what ruined Wonder Woman for me (one of the only things, actually) was people talking through it and after it, about it. […]

Film: Deadpool

Deadpool is a perfect movie. Hands down, the best one I have seen this year, in terms of perfect entertainment and a blisteringly perfect script. The humour just keeps coming and doesn’t ever stop from beginning to end. The script and comedy are flawless. Ryan Reynolds is sketch gold. The supporting cast are mostly fantastic […]

Film: Batman – Bad Blood

Movie 2 of the year: Batman – Bad Blood. I’m failing. I feel like I am watching movies really slowly. Anyhue. I liked the first* one better, is the summary. For a couple of reasons – I am REALLY bored of uninventive superhero names. Because you wear the bat, you have to have bat in […]
