Picoreview: Deadpool & Wolverine

August 28, 2024

Picoreview: Deadpool & Wolverine – did EXACTLY what it said on the tin, which was EVERYTHING I WANTED I generally try to keep my picoreviews spoiler-free, but I’m mentioning that specifically on this post because it’s still a relatively new movie and if you want to veer away entirely, you should, but I won’t be spoiling anything. (I may very well do another post next month with spoilers, but for now, no.) I’m not a particular Deadpool movie fan, tbh. He’s too violent for me, even if it’s borderline cartoonish…

Picoreview: The Blue Beetle

August 19, 2023

Picoreview: The Blue Beetle – Ted and I both really, really liked Blue Beetle & if you’re doing movies in cinemas these days and like superhero films a tall, we think you should see it ASAP bc here, at least, it’s only got 9 showings a day in the largest cineplex (as opposed to Barbie opening with 36 & Oppenheimer with like 16) & it feels like the studio’s way of making sure it fails, at least partially so they can justify having not released Batgirl, another superhero movie with…

Picoreview: Barbie

July 23, 2023

Picoreview: Barbie – I went to Barbie yesterday and left emotionally compromised. It was amazing. I had no idea Helen Mirren was narrating, and she’s incredibly funny. Margot Robbie is perfect, America Ferrera made me want to stand up and cheer, and this is the first movie I’ve ever seen that I liked Ryan Gosling in. Also there were so many people in pink at the cinema!!!! Not just women, either! I haven’t seen that many men in pink since the 80s! 💗💞😍💫💞💗❤️💫✨😍😍💞✨🤩🤩💗😍 It was not, tbh, the movie I…

missed connections

April 11, 2019

It’s been a week of missed connections in the funniest of ways. :) Last week I was going out to work, which my friend Sarah and I have been meeting up to do in this sort of inept way–neither of us has WhatsApp notifications turned on because they’re too distracting, but also neither of us ever thinks to text or call, so we attempt to communicate in what amounts to telephone tag except both of us have the phones with us all the time. In this scenario, I am taking…

Picoreview: Aquaman

December 16, 2018

Aquaman Picoreview: Someone said it was your average Marvel Phase One introductory superhero movie. I don’t think it was as good as any of the Phase One films, which were all tight in terms of storyline, but it was better than I expected. Granted, my expectations were very low, but still: better than I expected. The special effects were good, Amber Heard’s wig was absolute rubbish (why. why. why. do you spend $160 million on a film and use a wig that looks you got it at a Halloween fright…
