Kiwi Film Review

  IMDB: 7.5 /10 Rotten Tomatoes: 91%(critics), 87%(audience) Director:  Emerald Fennell Writers:  Emerald Fennell Stars: Carey Mulligan, Bo Burnham, Alison Brie, Laverne Cox Release Date:  25 December 2020 Warning: All of the spoilers ahead. Can I just say how incredible it is that this is a debut feature from Emerald Fennell? I think age is a benefit in that fact, because it's so obvious how completely clear of a vision she had in her head for this film, and she executed that vision so brilliantly.  This is definitely my favourite film of 2020, and there is so much to love about it. First of all, it is definitely the best "Me Too" film to come out of the movement so far, there have been a lot of interesting projects out recently that tackle consent and all kinds of other questions around the reckoning of 2017, such as The Assistant, and the absolutely brilliant show, I May Destroy You, but I think that unlike the other movies, this was able to have a particularly satisf

IMDB: 7.1 /10 Rotten Tomatoes: 91%(critics), 88%(audience) Director:  Leigh Whannell Writers:  Leigh Whannell Stars:  Elisabeth Moss, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Harriet Dyer, Aldis Hodge, Storm Reid Release Date:  28 February 2020 It's an absolute tragedy that this movie was released when it was because so many people(myself included) did not get to experience this movie in theatres, and unfortunately, I think a lot of people will miss it altogether because it didn't get the exposure it should have. I personally decided to pay the $20 to watch it on demand at the beginning of the pandemic, and I was glad to have the escape from reality.  I think if I had gone into this film realizing that it was from the team who brought us Paranormal Activity, and other horror movies that were way too scary for me to watch or enjoy, I think I would've run away screaming. But, thankfully my love of Elisabeth Moss and the fact that I assumed it was a thriller, made me comfortable enough to watch

  First of all, I am THRILLED to see Amy and Tina back again this year! Don't get me wrong, I love me some Ricky Gervais but I'm excited to see what these two ladies can bring to the virtual stage. It's that time of year again, we're a week out from the 2021 Golden Globes, and yet again, I have not seen all of the nominees so I'm going to do my best with what I have seen, and what I've heard about this years line up to tell you my predictions of who is going to win, and my pick of who I'd like to see win in each category! Best Motion Picture (Drama) Nomadland Mank The Father Promising Young Woman The Trial of the Chicago 7 Unfortunately I have so far only seen Promising Young Woman and The Trial of the Chicago 7 so far (Where the heck can I see Nomadland and The Father before Sunday? Help a girl out!!) Personally, no matter what else I see from 2020, I know for sure that Promising Young Woman is my favourite film of 2020. It is daring, stunning, funny,

      Let me just start this review by saying, that this film made me so angry that it brought me back from a 5 year hiatus from writing reviews just so I could make a post about it. That is how much I hated it.  (Spoiler Alert: This review is FULL of spoilers, so if you haven't seen the movie yet, skip this review!) IMDb: 6.3/10 Rotten Tomatoes:  81%(critics), 34%(audience) Director:  J Blakeson Writers: J Blakeson Stars:  Rosamund Pike, Peter Dinklage, Dianne Wiest, Eiza Gonzàlez, Chris Messina Release Date:  19 February 2021      I think that I feel so strongly about this because it started out very strongly for me. Within the first 10 minutes I was anxious, and on the edge of my seat, and angry about the absolutely vile things that Marla ( Rosamund Pike ) was doing to these helpless elderly people. Perhaps it hit home particularly hard for me because my grandma is currently in the early stages of dementia, so I can see how easy this could happen, thankfully I think it would be
