Ocean’s 8 (2018) – Diamonds and Friends are a Woman’s Best Bet
This was a very fun movie! Not unexpectedly so, because heist movies are always fun, it's the thrill of it and the intelligence and bravery to pull those things off is very appealing. It's escapist and for once it's a cast full of entertainment's most influential women coming together in to this movie is wonderful … Continue reading Ocean’s 8 (2018) – Diamonds and Friends are a Woman’s Best Bet
The Other Boleyn Girl (2008) – Takes Itself Too Seriously
One of my favourite sites is called Frock Flicks where they review movies, TV series etc. and have a passion for historical costumes as well as historical detail. I am now going to borrow one of their most famous lines for this, which I think every person even a little bit knowledgable of history will … Continue reading The Other Boleyn Girl (2008) – Takes Itself Too Seriously
Pournami (2006) – A Silly Movie with One Story That Becomes Another
First things first. I knew that Telugu cinema had this preference of overdramatic presentation and hand waved logic and silliness which I was ready for having seen Eega (2012) whose plot is something that shouldn't work, but the execution is so good you really don't care. Indeed it helped me enjoy this film and not … Continue reading Pournami (2006) – A Silly Movie with One Story That Becomes Another
Kirikou and the Sorceress (1998) – A Charming Story Of A Little Hero

Summary: Somewhere in West Africa a woman is about to give birth when the baby in her stomach decides to birth itself. Coming out in to … Continue reading Kirikou and the Sorceress (1998) – A Charming Story Of A Little Hero
Tapestry of Bronze: Jocasta: The Mother-Wife of Oedipus – Life of The Cursed in Love
We all know the tragic tale of Oedipus, it has been made in to plays in ancient times and in the present. Heck! Freud named a complex after him and in true character to the ancient greek stories this is a tale both of misery and happiness with a squick factor. Summary: Jocasta is to … Continue reading Tapestry of Bronze: Jocasta: The Mother-Wife of Oedipus – Life of The Cursed in Love
Harlequin/Mills & Boon: Least Likely To Marry a Duke – Oh the Anticipation!
Who knew ASDA was a good place to find books? And for cheap? And where I found my first romance novel and read it on the plane before finishing it at home. I've been aware of Mills & Boon of the Harlequin romance novel publishing company for a while, but never have seen their books … Continue reading Harlequin/Mills & Boon: Least Likely To Marry a Duke – Oh the Anticipation!
Tolkien (2019) – NON SPOILERS – Everything You Could Ever Want!
I could really leave the title at that and tell you to go watch the film, but I won't because I want to talk about it. More of course in the Spoiler review that I'll publish only when the film comes out. So some context. I am currently writing this since seeing the film on … Continue reading Tolkien (2019) – NON SPOILERS – Everything You Could Ever Want!
Parinati (1989) – Fate and Greed in Rajasthan A Long Time Ago
This film is so small it would be easily overlooked, the Wikipedia page is small as well as the Imdb. And this is small, filmed in the 80s with what looks like a small but makable budget and still making the most of it. This film even won the National Award for Costuming which is … Continue reading Parinati (1989) – Fate and Greed in Rajasthan A Long Time Ago
Piku (2015) – A Quirky Tale of Family, Heritage and Hierarchies
This is just a lovely film and all too familiar to many of us. It's the perfect combination of everything I would hope for in a film like this and the way the story goes, its not just watching a film, but watching a family. This time with ALL the flaws to go with it … Continue reading Piku (2015) – A Quirky Tale of Family, Heritage and Hierarchies
