When they said Crazy Rich Asians, they meant it. Truly, they did. Crazy? Yeah, somewhat. Asian? Very much so. And rich? ABSOLUTELY.
I’ve been a big fan of Nick Offerman ever since those glorious days of old (well, not that old) when he starred in Parks and Recreation as Ron Swanson, the hilariously straight-faced head of the Pawnee Parks and Recreation Department.
This film is definitely one that we should be talking about. Funny, raw, emotional and inspirational, Hannah Gadsby: Nanette will have you jumping out of your seats and sliding into your bright-blue, equality-advocating t-shirts in no time.
There is more to Jack Black than his role in School of Rock (2003) and yet it is the one that I most closely associate with him.
I’m quite the generous reviewer, as you may have noticed. However, I’ve learned that when my inspiration is lacking, it’s usually because the film I’m reviewing isn’t as exceptional as I’d initially believed. Such is the case for Set It Up, directed by Claire Scanlon. A cute film, just not an overly exciting one.
I like to think that I am a child at heart since my eagerness to climb trees and run through sprinklers has not dissipated at all despite me being well into my twenties. However, it seems I’ve got nothing on the guys (and gals) in the new release movie Tag.
Falling in love across continents is the going thing these days, what with technology and travel making it that much easier to maintain long distance relationships. Ibiza captures what new-age romance is all about; an intriguing mix of modern millennialism combined with the more traditional notion of love at first sight.
Searching follows father David Kim (John Cho) as he searches for his missing 16-year-old daughter, Margot (Michelle La).
It’s always touch and go with Adam Sandler as to whether his films are going to make me laugh or make me cringe. I was especially sceptical about The Week Of and wasn’t expecting anything more than the crass lines that Sandler usually delivers.
I first fell in love with Taron Egerton (along with the rest of the world, I’m sure) in the film Kingsman: The Secret Service (2014).
I think I did high school wrong. Way wrong. I didn’t get up to a tenth of the mischief that the girls in Dude did, and yet they totally rocked it.
“I am underwhelmed,” I said, pushing open the doors to the cinema as the credits for A Wrinkle in Time rolled on behind me. I chose this particular wording because it was a favourite line in the film, stated not once but twice by two different characters, during two completely unrelated scenes with no one connection to the other whatsoever.
Twenty-eighteen may still be in its juvenescence but I already know that The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society will be my favourite film of the year.
Full disclosure: I thought I wasn’t going to like Isle of Dogs. I assumed it would be abstract and weird and that the animation would make me feel uncomfortable, the same way that Barbie dolls used as decorations on cakes makes me feel uncomfortable.
Kevin Hart is a man short in stature and tall in nothing, but luckily for him, he has a mind that excels at hilarity and he uses that talent to make up for any lack of elongation on his part.
Starring Mila Kunis as Audrey and Kate McKinnon as her best friend, Morgan, The Spy Who Dumped Me looks like it’s going to be a doozy.
