Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard

Heheh, NOW we’re talking. Basically this film’s just an excuse to team Ryan Reynolds, Salma Hayek, and Samuel L. Jackson up again – does it really MATTER what it’s about?  With Michael Bryce (Reynolds) having lost his AAA rating he’s

Monty Python: The Meaning of Live

Intimate documentary about the reunion of the Monty Python team for their famous Final Concert series at the O2 in 2014 (of which I was very fortunate to attend twice!).  Having seen 20+ years of the Pythons reminiscing about Python,

The Interview

I think I watched this after Liz went to bed, because I was curious about what had prompted the ire of the North Korean Government and a globally-famous computer hack.  I mean, if it HADn’t been for that bit of

Bad Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising

It feels like if 2020 was the year of Dwayne Johnson, then 2021 is the year of Seth Rogen.  Clearly, the word-with-self has not yet been had. Byrne & Rogen – having seen off the fraternity – want to sell

Barb & Star Go to Vista Del Mar

To be honest I’ve absolutely No Idea how we got to this one.  All I can say it is was 107 mins of utter silliness which I genuinely enjoyed.  Notionally a story about two middle-aged best friends from the mid-west,

Bo Burnham: Make Happy

So weird. Watching this was an attempt to find out more about Bo Burnham’s comedy, but aside from some decent silliness all I’m left thinking is that “it’s all about him”.  But, in a different way to other comics.  Rather

Bo Burnham: Inside

Former YouTube musical comedian Bo Burnham put together this lockdown-prompted special, forming my first introduction to his work. Immediately one has to be impressed with the creativity employed to make use of the room he’s limited to. What’s more difficult
