Catherine O’ Hara Has Gone
The versatile actor with the lovely voice has passed away at 71 and it’s such a big loss. To a whole generation she’ll forever be Kevin’s mom Kate McCallister in ‘Home Alone’, to another, Moira Rose in ‘Schitt’s Creek’, to older comedy fans she started out on Canadian TV as a sketch comedian, but forContinue reading “Catherine O’ Hara Has Gone”
Film Review: Marcel The Shell With Shoes On
Dean Fleischer Camp and Jenny Slate’s mockumentary is one of the most lovely family films I’ve ever seen. In the hands of Disney, it probably would have been a treacly exercise in trite sentimentality, but leave it to independent filmmakers to create something pithy, poignant and rather beautiful. Marcel (adorably voiced by Slate) is indeedContinue reading “Film Review: Marcel The Shell With Shoes On”
The Film Surprise Of 2025
Yet again, I’m in the minority, it seems. Most sequels, albeit with a few exceptions, are not very successful.

I realise that it’s officially silly season, and that Andy Warhol beat Alan Partridge to the curve with his assertion that “in the future, everyone will be famous for fifteen minutes”, but it seems that the fictional broadcasting dickhead also came up with some prophetic words. Okay, sure, his most recent TV series, ‘How AreContinue reading “Alan Partridge Is A Prophet”
Disney’s The Skeleton Dance

Overlooked Classics: Flowers (Series 1, 2016)
‘ You Don’t…Shoot… Family. Everyone knows that! “ Imagine if Wes Anderson made work that was manic depressive instead of…well, just manic. That’s halfway to understanding the delightfully warped, hermetically – sealed world of Flowers. Whitten by, directed by and starring Will Sharpe, the programme is wonderful, holding up well after nearly a decade, withContinue reading “Overlooked Classics: Flowers (Series 1, 2016)”
