Read MoreView from The Aisle: Male Friendships in Withnail and I
Just before shooting began on Bruce Robinson’s 1987 film Withnail and I, Richard E. Grant received a frantic phone call from his wife Joan. She was going into labour two months prematurely. After tearing across London, Richard picked her up and sped off though traffic to the nearest hospital. Hours of anguished silence passed by. Richard paced the corridor. Eventually, a doctor approached and told him...

Read MoreLate To The Party: To Kill A Mockingbird – “As relevant today is it was when it was released”
Late To The Party is a series of reviews ranging from classical masterpieces to modern-day blockbusters where I look to make my confession for the sin of not having seen them before. I seek absolution from the film universe and hope to never again suffer your disdain for my film faux pas. I am Fredo, in the boat. Hail Mary, full of grace. Read my other Late To The Party reviews This week’s Late To The...

Read MoreReview: An American Pickle – “Absolutely charming”
An American Pickle is absolutely charming. No doubt helped by my casual fascination with Seth Rogen, the trailer just made my jaw drop. It looked otherworldly. Genuinely like nothing I’ve seen before. 2020 being 2020, we were then told it would debut in a limited cinema run and, in the US, on HBO Max. HBO Max seems to be tarred, from what I can see, due to its links to D.C. It doesn’t seem to have the...

Read MoreReview: Spinster – “Avoids typical rom-com tropes”
Get married, buy a house, have children, and live happily ever after. Society seems to have our personal lives mapped out with a predictable path, and no one feels the pressure to match this more than women. While there are certainly examples of women who haven’t fit this mould, once you hit that “certain age” these expectations can start to weigh on you and make you question what is truly supposed to...

Read MoreReview: Waiting For The Barbarians – “A fascinating watch”
Waiting For The Barbarians is directed by Ciro Guerra (Embrace of the Serpent). Based on the 1980 novel of the same name by J. M. Coetzee, it questions the legitimacy of colonialism. This is heavy going stuff. Probably not a Friday night popcorn flick, if and when your local cinema opens up, then. The Magistrate of an isolated frontier settlement on the border of an unnamed empire looks forward to an easy...
