2023 Reviews – Roald Dahl’s Matilda the Musical
Danny DeVito’s 1996 Matilda is my sister’s favourite movie, and therefore, a respected and very familiar movie of mine as well, as it was on in our household all the damn time (!). My sister and I went and saw … Continued
2023 Reviews – A Good Person
A new film directed by Zach Braff – okay. A new film where Zach Braff directs his then-girlfriend, and fledgling superstar, Florence Pugh – hell, yeah! Allison (Florence Pugh) is addicted to oxycontin. Her whole life fell apart when she … Continued

Jumping from one beloved horror franchise to one in bloom. I have been anticipated this movie for months! ‘When will it get here?!’, I’d whinge. ‘Mia Goff is a marvel’, is all I could ever find in response. If only … Continued
2023 Reviews – Scream VI
A sequel to a requel! Let’s do better than Star Wars: The Last Jedi, ey? Of course, I rewatched Scream (2022) again the other night, and I can’t believe how great a job the directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett … Continued
