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…

Picoreview Round-Up

July 12, 2020

A series of picoreviews for things I’ve watched on streaming lately: The Old Guard: Loved it. Want more. Fave bit: not the Romantic Speech scene, but its aftermath when it cuts back to them.

A great deal could have been forgiven if they’d stuck with the stage show’s method of creating the cockroaches and mice (which is “have the cats dress up as the cockroaches and mice”, which was funny rather than horrifying and mind-bleeding, and as I use those words, I remind you…

Picoreview: Spinning Out

January 2, 2020

Picoreview: Spinning Out: ugh. Ted suggested the new Netflix Spinning Out, which looked like a reverse Cutting Edge, with a young woman skater coming back after an injury to join a playboy pairs skater. Readers, it is *not* like Cutting Edge. It’s a drama with no humor to alleviate the bitchy unhappy characters. I watched all the way through the first episode for the express purpose of trying to make Netflix not suggest I finish watching it. It didn’t work, which is too bad, because if I’d known it wouldn’t,…
