March In Film

Cocaine Bear My theory was that this film was either going to be magnificent or terrible and it’s something of a disappointment that it turned out to be neither. It’s nice to see Character Actress Margot Martindale on the big screen and she provides the most entertaining performance in the movie as a sassy park ranger. She and the rest of the cast aren’t given a tremendous amount to work with script wise, as jokes about “dusty beavers” demonstrate. Nonetheless, I also enjoyed the film debut of Scott Seiss, whose comedic employment based TikToks have become so popular that even I have heard of them. He and Martindale are involved in by the far the film’s best sequence, a ludicrous vehicle chase that ends in a memorable if somewhat gory fashion. It’s probably the only section where the film truly commits to the ludicrous nature of its premise and the remainder is largely dull by comparison. Phil Lord and Chris Miller have producer credits here and it’s a shame that there’s a lack of...

February In Film

  The Fabelmans The film follows Sammy Fabelman (Gabriel LaBelle), a young aspiring filmmaker dedicated to his craft who must negotiate the challenges posed by familial strife. Any resemblance to a real director is I presume entirely coincidental. One of my issues with the family early on is that they’re almost insufferably twee and not a great deal of interest seems to happen. The film’s central familial conflict feels somewhat implausible and is centred around Sammy’s mother Mitzi (Michelle Williams). I have enjoyed Williams’ work in the past but found her overwrought, hysterical performance here rather offputting.   Thank goodness then that Uncle Boris (Hirsch) arrives to drop a grenade into proceedings, explaining his own history with film and the arts and underlining Sammy’s forthcoming dilemma. He decides to get to work on his highest scale production to date, a war epic. These are the most joyous shots in the movie, teeming with invention especially in the deploym...

I'll See You In My Dreams

 Today is the first day of the 2024/25 English football season. It will be the first season that begins without my Dad, who died four months ago on 9 th April at the age of 76. My Dad and I have shared football together for as long as I can remember. I fell in love with football largely because of Eric Cantona, who I remember thinking was the coolest man alive. I dimly remember him returning to action after being suspended for his infamous kung fu kick on a Crystal Palace fan, scoring an equaliser against Liverpool and swinging around the stanchion behind the goal at Old Trafford. All of this subsequently led to me wanting to follow Manchester United. I am surprised in retrospect that this man from Houghton-le-Spring who spent most Saturdays in his youth at Roker Park to watch Sunderland AFC didn’t object more vehemently to this. Perhaps he saw it as a decent excuse to watch higher quality players than he was used to. Dad always wanted to watch good teams playing good football. ...
