Review: Logan Lucky

Posted on August 31, 2017 by Morgan Briarwood
Daniel Craig, Channing Tatum and Adam Driver in Logan Lucky

The plan for getting Joe Bang out of jail is daftly ingenious. When things start to go wrong – we have been primed to expect this by all the talk of the Logan family “curse” – each hitch is hilarious in its own way, and one or two are laugh-out-loud funny. Continue reading Review: Logan Lucky→

Review: An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power

Posted on August 31, 2017 by Morgan Briarwood
An Inconvenient Sequel

The clip in the trailer could have been the opening salvo in a presentation of more and more evidence of what climate change is doing – right now – to the world we live in. Instead it came across more as an “I told you so”. Continue reading Review: An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power→

Review: The Hitman’s Bodyguard

Posted on August 20, 2017 by Morgan Briarwood
The Hitman's Bodyguard - Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L Jackson

I was expecting: action, shooting, explosions, swearing, thin plot, a few laughs and a couple of shots of Ryan Reynold’s backside. I mean that’s his thing, right? Continue reading Review: The Hitman’s Bodyguard→

Amandla Stenberg and Nick Robinson in Everything, Everything

About This Site

This is my 111th attempt (or thereabouts) at blogging properly. I will write about what I’m reading (books and comics), possibly what I’m writing (fiction) and what I’m watching (mostly movies, occasionally TV). I may also say stuff about my day to day life but that’s not all that interesting.
