The Slice Awards! Celebrating 2021-2022
I just want to make a point of Emelia Jones; Emelia Jones is basically playing a unicorn in CODA, and, to prepare for this one role, she had to take 9 months of sign language, and learnt the basics of … Continued
2022 Reviews – Cyrano
And so here’s a movie based upon another classic play, but one which I’ve never even heard anything about. Sure, I’ve seen the comically long nose before, I know Steve Martin’s Roxanne is a thing, but I’ve never heard of … Continued
2022 Reviews – Death on the Nile
Not one of you wanted Rose Leslie (the redhead maid) to lean into Kenneth Branagh during her interrogation, and scold him with, ‘you know nothing, Hercule Poirot’? C’mon! Oh, I’m easily pleased. Kenneth Branagh directs his second movie released in … Continued
