Recommending…

Last night we sat down to watch Glass Eye: A Knives Out Mystery. As we had enjoyed the original story we thought we’d give this a go. What a lovely piece of fluff it was! A very enjoyable way to … Continue reading →

La La Land

Posted on 29/12/2016 by WeatherGrrrl

Wonderful. From the fabulous colour palette, through the homages to classic Hollywood movies, to the dream-like quality of the story, I loved this movie. Emma Stone is definitely the star of the show, with Ryan Gosling as her dapper support, … Continue reading →

Captain America

Posted on 20/5/2014 by WeatherGrrrl

Oh happy day!!!!!!! Finally, Captain America made it to Morris, mystifyingly after all the students have left town, so there won’t be much of a crowd at each show. (I just don’t understand that decision. There hasn’t exactly been the … Continue reading →

Oz The Great and Powerful

Posted on 12/3/2013 by WeatherGrrrl

Okayish. Yeah, there were problems but there were also highlights too. My two favourite characters were Finley (Zach Braff) and China Girl (Joey King). I’ve got to say I thought Zach Braff was great and I can’t say I’ve liked … Continue reading →

Thor

Posted on 16/5/2011 by WeatherGrrrl

Popcornalicious. This was an absolute hoot and exactly what was needed from a summer blockbuster: lots of energy, explody things, overthetopness, hot guys, and a complete lack of stick-up-arse, as they say in the vernacular. It made me laugh out … Continue reading →

Harry Potter 7 part 1

Posted on 1/12/2010 by WeatherGrrrl

Tense. Despite having read the book and knowing what happens this is an incredibly tense movie that keeps you on the edge of your seat for its entire length. The visuals are quite stunning and the ending left me wanting … Continue reading →

Day and Knight

Posted on 1/12/2010 by WeatherGrrrl

Yawn.  This movie can’t quite make its mind up what it is, there’s just not enough wit involved to pull it above the mediocre level for which it has settled.    The action is not quite spectacular enough to be … Continue reading →

Prince of Persia

Posted on 15/9/2010 by WeatherGrrrl

Hokum.  But deliciously fun hokum.  A pretty boy hero meets a spunky heroine and they do battle with a dastardly bad guy in a plot that makes absolutely no sense.  Gotta say Jake Gyllenhaal is seriously hot and buff and … Continue reading →

Ramona and Beezus

Posted on 15/9/2010 by WeatherGrrrl

Sweet.  It’s not often we get to see young interesting female leads in a movie made primarily for young girls so this was a real treat.  The plot isn’t particularly unexpected but did make me laugh quite frequently.  A very … Continue reading →

Alice in Wonderland

Posted on 6/9/2010 by WeatherGrrrl

Erratic. This was a little like a roller coaster ride, zooming up to brilliantly good and down to ditch water dull. Can’t recommend it really but there are some great little bits and pieces hidden along the way. The visuals … Continue reading →
