Movie Breakdown: Birds Of Prey (Noah)

Pre-Screening Stance: I honestly can’t say I have forgiven DC for Batman v. Superman. Or Justice League. Or, well, wow, Suicide Squad. I have a hint of enthusiasm for Wonder Woman, but I’m pretty sure...

Movie Breakdown: Birds Of Prey

Pre-Screening Ramble: Suicide Squad was so bad that I haven’t even bothered to do a “go back and see if it’s as bad as I thought it was” screening, but I can at least applaud...

Movie Breakdown: The Rhythm Section (Noah)

Pre-Screening Ramble: I’ve never seen the Cats musical.  I also think that the cat-people in this adaptation all look fairly creepy.  It is, however, directed by Tom Hooper (The King’s Speech, The Danish Girl), and...

Movie Breakdown: Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker

Pre-Screening Ramble: I like The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi, and I’m expecting to like The Rise Of Skywalker.  Is this weird?  It definitely feels weird, but I think that just goes to show...

Movie Breakdown: Bombshell

Pre-Screening Ramble: It’s weird to me that Bombshell was directed by Jay Roach (the guy behind the Austin Powers series, Meet The Parents/Fockers and other silly movies), but the trailers for it have been pretty...
