I remember when I was about seven, Mum took us to Pizza Hut in a nearby town because they were doing a deal where you would buy a large pizza and receive either a VHS copy of the new Julia Roberts rom com “Notting Hill” or the new animated film “Antz”. Mum chose “Notting Hill” […]

The events industry completes the maximum capacity of uncertainty — archyde
It was a sector in a state of effervescence and in constant growth. But the cancellation of the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in mid-February was its turning point. Before, some event agencies had already perceived certain restrictions imposed by American and Asian companies in different meetings where a large number of their professionals met. […]

Blu-ray Review: Billy Liar — Movie Gazette Online
The British New Wave (or “kitchen sink drama movement”) was an innovative, but brief cinematic movement during the late fifties and early sixties. These films, usually in black and white, focused on class and social issues. Billy Liar directed by John Schlesinger, is cited on many best British Films of All Time lists. Billy Fisher […]

The Muppet Movie (1979) — ASSHOLES WATCHING MOVIES
Is it fair to say that the best use of the Muppet Movie (1979) may be as palate cleanser? We found it on Disney+ while in need of something easy, after slogging through The Platform. Instead of three Care Bears seasons, as recommended by Dr. Jay, we opted for one dose of classic Muppets silliness. […]
The Golden Compass — ASSHOLES WATCHING MOVIES
I watched this back in 2007 because I adored the book(s) (by Philip Pullman) and was optimistic. Oh 2007, the days of wild optimism. The movie is…not good. It’s not rotten, there are some attempts at goodness, especially from Nicole Kidman and the visual effects department. But it’s like someone put The Golden Compass through […]

Dolphin Reef — ASSHOLES WATCHING MOVIES
Last week we were discussing Elephant, a brand new nature documentary released on Disney+. Disneynature films are perhaps not the most scientific among documentaries but they are beautifully photographed and extremely family-friendly. During these difficult days of self-quarantine, parents struggling to home-school their children or even just provide for some less junky screen time may […]
Dolittle — ASSHOLES WATCHING MOVIES
I suppose it might entertain very young children. I have meditated on that single sentence above for minutes and even hours, wondering if I should leave it at that. Explaining the why and the how of this movie’s failure is baffling at best yet won’t even make for entertaining reading. The story is weak yet […]
