We tootled off to the cinema last night to see our first film of 2019. We did shockingly last year, averaging at just one every twelve days or so. This year we hope to do better. So, we saw Glass and it was a true marvel...

"Widows"--a movie review

GreatMartin @GreatMartin (23670) • Ft. Lauderdale, Florida 27 Nov 18

I became a fan of Viola Davis's in 2008 when she stole her scenes from Meryl Streep in "Doubt" and I am fascinated by what she can do with her face in the "How To Get Away With Murder" television series and I never miss an...

"The Miseducation of Cameron Post"--movie review of a subject that is being discussed in many States right now.

GreatMartin @GreatMartin (23670) • Ft. Lauderdale, Florida 21 Aug 18

With 4 States, 41 counties and municipalities plus the District of Columbia banning gay conversion therapy and others having it on their agenda it was a perfect time for a film dealing with just that subject but “The Miseducation...

the most devastating horror film of the year!

Elizabeth @Poppylicious (11134) • United Kingdom 16 Jun 18

Except, it's not. Terrifying! said some reviews. But it's not. I am of course talking about Hereditary, the most anticipated horror film for a long time. I was disappointed. This isn't to say that I didn't enjoy...

there was a murder

Elizabeth @Poppylicious (11134) • United Kingdom 9 Nov 17

The murder occurred on The Orient Express, and the great detective Hercule Poirot solved the crime, pointed his stodgy little finger and then let the murderer/s go. And thus, this little piggy realised just why it is she doesn't...

We tootled to the cinema last night to see Suburbicon. My goodness, it was good. I do enjoy a bit of Matt Damon. It's a George Clooney and the Coen brothers film. A bit dark, ironic and twisted, funny and sad, with a lot...

I knew nothing about this film when we went to see it, apart from what I'd seen in the trailers. If you haven't seen it, and you want to see it, and you don't want to know what it's about, then please - in the nicest possible...

always sing a little ditty

Elizabeth @Poppylicious (11134) • United Kingdom 2 Aug 17

We watched Last Train to Busan on Netflix at the weekend. Have you seen it? It's a Korean {I think} zombie adventure. I loved it, mostly because it had REALLY FAST zombies. I love fast zombies. They're so much more...

the true horrors of life

Elizabeth @Poppylicious (11134) • United Kingdom 22 Jul 17

I love a good horror film. The best horror films are those that you believe could happen in real life, those based on psychology or mental health rather than supernatural elements. But the most horrific *horror* films are...

One of the perks of paying a monthly subscription to go to the cinema is that occasionally we get to see films a week or so before their actual release date. Last night we were treated to King Arthur: Legend of the Sword...

memories of a different me

Elizabeth @Poppylicious (11134) • United Kingdom 17 Jan 17

I was a different me in 1996. It was the year my Nana {with the long-garden} died, I graduated from university and I met and fell in love with a drug-taking, alcoholic scoundrel. It was also the year that Trainspotting...

The Manager of the local cinema thought that the film wouldn't have a lot of folk wanting to see it. The teeny little screen was jam-packed, mostly with mid-teens enjoying a Friday evening of fright. The Bye-Bye Man and...

Have you seen it yet? You must. You really, really, really must see it. But don't forget to pop some tissues or a trusted embroidered handkerchief in your bag. You will need them, because you will sob uncontrollably...

My evening shenanigans included pub grub, the cinema to see Rogue One, a quick late night excursion to Tesco, Apprentice on the tellybox, bath with a book, and now I'm tucked up in bed. I have to be up in four hours {it's...

Put the weefee on! is my silent cry to Bus Driver. But this post is not about that. It’s also not about that big buffoon who is currently revelling in the joy of being President-elect, despite the title suggesting that it...

Elizabeth @Poppylicious (11134) • United Kingdom 6 Oct 16

The Girl on the Bus went to see The Girl on the Train last night. I shall make the assumption that the book is far superior. Not that the film was poor, but I suspect a lot of the emotions that must have been in the book...

Myself and my Mumsy popped to the cinema today to see Ben-Hur. I haven't seen the original film with Charlton Heston, nor have I read the book upon which it's based, so I went in with no expectations. It was good. I...

Elizabeth @Poppylicious (11134) • United Kingdom 30 May 16

And what I saw there was beautiful, in a nonsensical and ridiculously quirky way. There is a lot to learn from Alice and her many adventures, even in contemporary times. Lewis Carroll was ahead of his times in many respects. But...
