Beauty pageants are big business in Texas and for Rosie Dixon (Jennifer Aniston) they are everything. Pretty dresses on pretty girls, the definition of picture perfect beauty. But for her daughter Willowdean (Danielle Macdonald), pageants are a showcase of everything that she believes she is not. She’s a plus size girl who loves nothing more…
‘I’m the next criminal mastermind’ – Artemis Fowl (2020) review
Disney plus has been doing a very good job at keeping us all occupied during the lockdown with tonnes of throwback series and lots of films. It is also regularly updated with new content to keep us all going and one of it’s latest new releases is Artemis Fowl. Now, I should probably be honest…
‘I’m putting on my best show!’ – Annie (2014) review
The trend of remaking classic movies has been around for a number of years now, and it was only going to be so long before the trend reached the movie musical genre. We should have expected it really. Annie has already had the remake treatment once, when the original 1982 movie was given the Disney…
‘It could be tomorrow, or it could be today’ – Sunshine On Leith (2013)(review)
If there is a genre of movies that people either love or hate, it’s movie musicals. Now, personally I love them but I can completely understand that some people don’t. You have to have a certain mindset to love and appreciate musicals, otherwise you might just end up thinking ‘why are they singing when they…
‘Back in action! Thank God!’ – The Intern (2015) Review
It was all the way back in 2006 when we saw Anne Hathaway play the nervous newbie intimidated by a powerful female boss in The Devil Wears Prada, and back in 2015, the tables were turned as in The Intern, she plays the female boss that everyone is a little bit weary around. We are…
‘You are Fearless’ – London Town (2016) Review
The idea that music can have a huge influence on someones life isn’t a new one, but is perhaps one that isn’t really touched upon in the movie world. Music is magical, it can completely change your mood and perhaps even take you down a completely different path then the one that you imagined taking….
‘Every day could be an adventure’ – Lady and the Tramp (2019) Review
When it comes to movie making, Disney is a mega beast and a force to be reckoned with. Let’s be honest, Disney (and all of the companies that Disney owns) has already proved ridiculously popular on television and the big screen, and with Disney + now a big part of many lockdown lives, it’s now…
‘You messed with the wrong dude’ – My Spy (2020) Review
15 years after Vin Diesel’s The Pacifier mixed spy work with babysitting duties, My Spy, at first glance, may look like something similar. A big tough guy that looks completely out of place when put into a situation where he has to deal with children, but this one is a little bit different.
‘They ask you what was the high point’ – Jersey Boys (2014) movie review
Jersey Boys has been a hit musical all over the world since it first opened in 2005, and has been seen on Broadway, in the West End and in Melbourne, as well as multiple touring productions. In 2014, Clint Eastwood brought the stage show to the big screen and in a change from the norm…
‘It’s official, old buddy. I’m a has-been.’ – Once Upon A Time In Hollywood (2019) Review
From the mind of director Quentin Tarantino comes Once Upon A Time in Hollywood, a film which both highlights and tears apart the final few years of the golden age of Hollywood, focusing on the story of actor Rick Dalton as he tries to find success in movies in the late 1960’s. With a star…
