Australian humour is one that foreigners often find difficult to relate to. However, being a true-blue Kiwi myself, I understand what it’s like to come from a country in which the jokes are understood by pretty much no one. Though there were a few AFL quips that went right over my head in The Merger, the film still had me in fits throughout.
Nick Offerman’s character in Parks and Recreation is just about my favourite thing on television. I’ve never been opposed to him playing a more serious role and I was lucky enough to witness that transition in the feel-good drama Hearts Beat Loud.
Originally titled Amelie Rennt, which loosely (and rather ironically, as you will see after watching the film) translates to ‘Amelie Runs’, Mountain Miracle is right up there on my list of favourite movies from 2018, second only to The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society.
After watching the trailer, you think that you get a real sense of what I Kill Giants is all about. However, I can tell you with total confidence that you’d be wrong. Way wrong.
When they said Crazy Rich Asians, they meant it. Truly, they did. Crazy? Yeah, somewhat. Asian? Very much so. And rich? ABSOLUTELY.
I’ve been a big fan of Nick Offerman ever since those glorious days of old (well, not that old) when he starred in Parks and Recreation as Ron Swanson, the hilariously straight-faced head of the Pawnee Parks and Recreation Department.
This film is definitely one that we should be talking about. Funny, raw, emotional and inspirational, Hannah Gadsby: Nanette will have you jumping out of your seats and sliding into your bright-blue, equality-advocating t-shirts in no time.
There is more to Jack Black than his role in School of Rock (2003) and yet it is the one that I most closely associate with him.
I’m quite the generous reviewer, as you may have noticed. However, I’ve learned that when my inspiration is lacking, it’s usually because the film I’m reviewing isn’t as exceptional as I’d initially believed. Such is the case for Set It Up, directed by Claire Scanlon. A cute film, just not an overly exciting one.
I like to think that I am a child at heart since my eagerness to climb trees and run through sprinklers has not dissipated at all despite me being well into my twenties. However, it seems I’ve got nothing on the guys (and gals) in the new release movie Tag.
Falling in love across continents is the going thing these days, what with technology and travel making it that much easier to maintain long distance relationships. Ibiza captures what new-age romance is all about; an intriguing mix of modern millennialism combined with the more traditional notion of love at first sight.
Searching follows father David Kim (John Cho) as he searches for his missing 16-year-old daughter, Margot (Michelle La).
