Shaun of the Dead (2004) Review

November 7, 2020 Ben

Its very difficult to launch a whole new movie genre in the modern era but Shaun of the Dead managed it, creating the Zom-Rom-Com and skyrocketing the careers of Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and director Edgar Wright. That is because … Continue reading Shaun of the Dead (2004) Review

Oscars 2018: The Big Sick (2017) Review

March 1, 2018February 28, 2018 Ben

It helps that The Big Sick is a true story as it makes the film feel authentic. This is a romantic-comedy but in the loosest sense. The romance isn’t fabled or fairy tale, the comedy isn’t too broad or stereotypical and … Continue reading Oscars 2018: The Big Sick (2017) Review

Trainwreck (2015) Review

December 15, 2017December 14, 2017 Ben

You could always trust Amy Schumer to write a romantic comedy which bucked the trend and offered something different. Amy Schumer was never going to write a comedy where the female character was dependent on the lead male character to “sort … Continue reading Trainwreck (2015) Review

Bridget Jones’ Baby (2016) Review

September 24, 2016September 24, 2016 Ben

Going back to a franchise after a long gap is always a risky move. Nostalgia will only do so much and paper over so many cracks before the lack of quality (if it’s there) begins to shows. 2016 already gave us … Continue reading Bridget Jones’ Baby (2016) Review

Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason (2004) Review

September 23, 2016September 22, 2016 Ben

Sequels to any movies come with a host of problems to overcome but these are particularly tricky and unique when the first film was a romantic-comedy. Most romantic comedies end in “happy-ever-after” and the idea of finding out what happens next … Continue reading Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason (2004) Review

Mr and Mrs Smith (1941) Review

July 30, 2016July 30, 2016 Ben

Mr and Mrs Smith is Alfred Hitchcock’s attempt at a screwball, romantic comedy. The director who would become known as the master of suspense, thrillers and horror would have a foray into the romantic comedy, with what unfortunately is a fairly … Continue reading Mr and Mrs Smith (1941) Review

Punch-Drunk Love (2002) Review

June 24, 2016June 23, 2016 Ben

Punch-Drunk Love will annoy many people. It won’t be anything to do with the story, which is solid and has some great little aspects to it. It won’t be the characters, which are bizarre but likable and keep you engaged. It … Continue reading Punch-Drunk Love (2002) Review

Bridget Jones’ Diary (2001) Review

May 27, 2016May 27, 2016 Ben

Bridget Jones’ Diary is how you make a romantic-comedy. It has all the key elements mixed-together perfectly. A likable lead character, appealing and believable situations, a romantic story you can get invested in and some very funny moments. The funny moments … Continue reading Bridget Jones’ Diary (2001) Review

Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961) Review

April 8, 2016April 7, 2016 Ben

It feels like Breakfast at Tiffany’s was ahead of it’s time. The central character of Holly Golightly is not your usual 60s female character. She is strong, independent but at the same time disorganised, messy and slightly dumb. She is a … Continue reading Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961) Review
