Shocking News: Film based on a song isn’t that great (Last Christmas review)

December 1, 2019December 6, 2019 ~ Daniel Robinson ~ Leave a comment

From director Paul Feig and writer Emma Thompson comes a charming festive rom-com that the title sequence brags is “based on George Michael’s eponymous song”. With great performances but a cliché story, it’s a fun film that fails to fully give cheer to someone special.

Now I long for Yesterday…to be a better film (Yesterday review)

July 2, 2019July 4, 2019 ~ Daniel Robinson ~ 3 Comments

Directed by Danny Boyle! Written by Richard Curtis! Featuring the music of The Beatles! These things coming together (not a Beatles pun) make the most British film that could possibly ever happen. Unfortunately, it confuses a fantastic premise with a dull rom-com plot, and the result is underwhelming.

A hilarious political pairing to rival Trump and Sexism (Long Shot review)

April 30, 2019April 30, 2019 ~ Daniel Robinson ~ 1 Comment

Long Shot is a political Rom-Com starring Seth Rogen and Charlize Theron. I’m a sucker for a good rom com, with Notting Hill and When Harry Met Sally being two of my favourites. What a joy then to say that Long Shot takes the best parts of both films, and makes an equally successful new film out of it.
