AWFJ 2020 EDA Awards winners announced
And the winners are…
Charles Dance
Fanny Lye deliver’d from her own deliverance with the dick-washed US poster for ‘The Delivered’
It’s the dick-washing of The Sapphires all over again.
Fanny Lye Deliver’d (aka The Delivered) movie review: birth of the modern woman (#EIFF2020)
Maxine Peake is stupendous in this deliciously audacious period horror, ambitious in emotional scope and with monsters who feel unexpectedly modern: men who wield religion as a tool of oppression.
Godzilla: King of the Monsters movie review: gives new meaning to the phrase “disaster movie”
An absolute mess, and nowhere near enough monster action. Does not give good disaster. No fun at all. Makes me long for guys in rubber monster suits awkwardly sparring. At least you could see them.
Me Before You movie review: romantic dramedy delusions
This miscalculated romantic dramedy is pathetically simplistic about morally complicated issues, and kind of offensive to those living with disabilities.
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies movie review: ironically, it has no brains
A Mr. Collins of a movie: fatuous, self-important, and nowhere near as smart or as elegant as it thinks it is. There isn’t a lick of wit to be found here.
Dracula Untold movie review: it doesn’t suck
A solid action fantasy more elemental and visceral than I expected, thanks to the potent presence of Luke Evans.
female gazing at: Charles Dance
Reader Bluejay suggested we gaze at Charles Dance, and I think the time for that has arrived.
a few thoughts on a catch-up binge of Game of Thrones: Season 3
I’m not sure anything — TV show or movie — that’s been based on a book has ever felt more like a book than GoT.
