Little Shop of Horrors – Film Review
Tag: comedy
This movie was a blind streaming pick on a Sunday night; I had no idea what to expect, but a horror sci-fi comedy musical about a sentient bloodthirsty plant from outer space probably wouldn’t have been my first guess. It turned out to be a wacky, campy, satirical and at times even touching delight.
The Banshees of Inisherin – Film Review

Everything Everywhere All at Once – Film Review

The Farewell – Film Review
Beautifully observed and bittersweet drama about the conflict between family ties and cultural values, with an impressive dramatic turn from Awkwafina.
The Station Agent – Film Review
A sweet and quirky comedy-drama about an unlikely trio of lonely souls coming together in a small town… and trains.
Younger – TV Review
I initially found this Stan series too annoyingly hyper and perky for its own good, but in the end it was a (near) perfect light and frothy lockdown watch.
