Point Blank 2019 is not a remake of the Lee Marvin 1967 film, for a French movie of the same name from 2010, in which the hunted (and innocent) main character comes from an ordinary life and has no combat training. Here, Anthony Mackie (Avengers: Endgame), to save his pregnant wife, plays an emergency room […]
Fifty Shades Darker returned the mismatched pair to the big screen where we learn Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan) had a troubled childhood, similar to how this film series had a troubled history when original director, Sam Taylor-Johnson, left, and James Foley took over, causing the delay in filming. There’s trouble in the state of Denmark […]

1 Comment »Fifty Shades Darker – It’s back. Just accept it. This time round, while Christian wrestles with his inner demons, Anastasia must confront the anger and envy of the women who came before her (f’nar! f’nar!) Along the way, in the trailer, she chances upon another guy who wants a piece of her that says, “Do […]
Fifty Shades Darker – oh, the pain never ends! Literally, as this is the second in the ‘bonkbuster’ trilogy from EL James between business bloke Christian Grey (James Dornan) and his initially-uptight secretary Anastasia Steele (Dekota Johnson). For me, Fifty Shades of Grey started off being a bit of a laugh, but then turned into […]
Grandma, we love you. Grandma, we do. Yes, I couldn’t help but start with with a reference to that track. After all, how many other films am I going to review with this same title, between now and my old age when I’ve reached the same point in my lifespan as grannies? Lily Tomlin is […]

Why do they bother?? Life after college graduation is not exactly going as planned for Will and Jillian (yep, them two) who find themselves lost in a sea of increasingly strange jobs. But […]
Fifty Shades Of Grey is the film I never saw at the cinema, based on the book I never read. But then I don’t read books, anyway. And I didn’t go to see it at the cinema because… well, a single man sat alone in a cinema watching a film about S&M? Especially in one […]

Fifty Shades of Grey is the overhyped film based on the overhyped book for women who’ve got nothing better to do with their lives, and now we have to suffer a second trailer. It stars two of the world’s least heard-of actors – Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson – the former replacing Queer as Folk‘s […]
