We Live in Time: Movie Review.

I thought I was going to see a romcom, it’s sort of promoted that way, but this is no romcom. Yes it has some laughs, and yes it is romantic. Very, but in a kind of real world way. Director, John Crowley (Brooklyn) pulls off a tremendous feat here. But that’s with the help of an outstanding naturalistic script from Nick Payne and two truly lovely central performances from the inimitable…

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice

Movies watched in 2024

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (2024, USA)

Director: Tim Burton

Writers: Alfred Gough & Miles Millar

Mini-review:

I loved the original Beetlejuice movie so much that I was kinda wary about this one, even after it became such a big hit. Having finally watched it, I'm left feeling somewhat indifferent. It's fun and short enough to never get boring, but it just doesn't reach the level of creativity and surprise that characterized the first one, nor is it as visually interesting. I don't know, at times it was kinda going through the motions and nothing more. The cast does deliver big time, with Catherine O'Hara stealing the spotlight thanks to her pitch perfect one-liner delivery. All in all, it was nice returning to this world for a while, even if it's not a particularly memorable experience.

Black Doves: Christmas thrills and spills galore.

In the fight between Slow Horses, The Day of the Jackal and Black Doves the latter was always destined for the rear end of the race, but surprisingly it came together as possibly the best of the lot, what with Jackal ending so lamely (mind you this padded out the second half of episode 6 quite lengthily too). It shouldn’t have because it has many flaws. Knightley’s lead character (although it’s…

Horror Comedy of the Day: Leprechaun (1993)

1983, North Dakota. Dan O'Grady comes back from a trip overseas with a pot full of gold. Shortly after showing this to his wife, she gets murdered, for the true owner of this treasure followed him all the way. You see, in Ireland there's an old legend that talks of a pot of gold you can find at the end of the rainbow. If you manage to get there, it's yours to keep. But you got to be careful: the fae folk known as the Leprechaun will come for you to take it back.

10 years later, a teenage girl called Tory Redding, who's renting the farm house with her family has to fend this same creature off, as he has escaped the crate he was trapped in.

No, you read that correctly: someone made the old Irish folk tale you most likely associate with the Lucky Charms cereal into a horror film. One where Jennifer Aniston is fighting off Warwick Davis of Willow (1988) fame. And the end result is... kind of a glorious, silly mess.

As the film underwent production, it changed the tone multiple times, going from a more straightforward slasher film to a comedy film that might qualify for a PG rating, only to inject back some gore late in production. The pastiche shows: it's has the same kind of simplistic logic and gags you'd expect from a kids movie down to the musical score, while also being punctuated by (infrequent) blood levels that wouldn't be out of place in Friday the 13th, with the occasional burst of profanity on top.

But of course, we got to talk about the titular character: among an enthusiastic but not very robust cast, Warwick Davis took the role after a slow period in his career to show he had more range than the well meaning Nelwyn; he very clearly had a blast playing the smug, conniving little trickster, chewing the scenery wherever the opportunity arose.

It borders on being infantile but charmingly so, being very much unashamed of its ridiculousness. Fuck you, Lucky Charms indeed.

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice: ...Beetlejuice? 👀

A fun, wacky trip down prosthetic-laden 80s horror/comedy, complete with the return of some OG favorites. Story? What story, lol. It’s your classic “help, I’m trapped and I can’t get out” cube rescue formula, packed with irrelevant characters and way too many subplots. It’s like the writers couldn’t decide who to kill off first, so they just threw everything at the wall to see what stuck. But…
