Us – Jordan Peele Does It Again

Posted on by Janet Awe

Despite being desperate to see this, when it finally came out in the UK, it turned out that I was too scared. Not because of the potential horror. Bring that on. But more, I reckon, because of the potential disappointment. Well, at midnight, a month after its UK release, I’ve just walked out of a […]

BFI London Film Festival 2017: Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri

Posted on by Janet Awe

As always, I really enjoyed the BFI London Film Festival this year. The list of great films that I saw during the previews include: Filmworker, the wonderful documentary about Stanley Kubrick’s right-hand man, Leon Vitali, who never truly got the recognition that he deserved; Rollerdreams – also a great documentary, this time about the history […]

BFI London Film Festival Preview: Indivisible

Instead of a warm welcome from the childhood friend she adores […]

Celebrity Juice, on ITV2: What a Load of Misogynistic Rubbish

Posted on by Janet Awe

Celebrity Juice, on ITV2: What a load of misogynistic rubbish. To be honest, I don’t mind so much about the Fearne Cotton insults – she’s signed up for the series, she’s knows what she’s letting herself in for and no doubt she’s getting paid lots of money for it (and presumably more than her co-presenter and […]
