I suppose you would find these any old place, Yet this one was a little different, There were many inside her head, No, not just brain cells (although that was sometimes debatable these days)

âM3GANâ is a light and kooky cautionary tale of our relationships with and reliance on technology and how this tends to get in the way of our much needed human relationships. This comedy/horror seems to be getting way too much acclaim and Iâm not quite sure why. Have you seen itâs score on Rotten Tomatoes?! Itâs at 94%! Yes - it is amusing, but itâs all been done before and possibly better than this.

âThe Whaleâ - Dir. Darren Aronofsky Brendan Fraser stars in the heartfelt âThe Whaleâ - a tale of a morbidly obese English teacher aiming to reconnect with his estranged teenage daughter. The film is based on the play by Samuel D. Hunter (who also wrote the screenplay) which Iâd not heard of prior. The stage origins are not made secret as the film is entirely set in one home - essentially a chamber piece, yet I was never bored.
A film with no symbolism, allegory or even political statements that I can recall.. and PHEW for that! This is simple, clean fun and as such it is a welcome change of pace.

âBig Little Liesâ - Season 2 (only a review of episodes 1-3) âBig Little Liesâ - episodes 1-3 surpass expectations with a focus on characters and themes over story, which is involving for viewers as itâs much more true to the rhythms of life. Season 2 outlines the repercussions and fallout from the events at the end of Season 1. (If you havenât yet seen it then go watch it now). Approximately a year later the effects are still deeply felt, and Celesteâs mother-in-law Mary-Louise (Meryl Streep providing a positively barmy performance) assists Celeste (Nicole Kidman) with her growing boys, whilst endeavouring to put her own niggling mind at ease over her son Perryâs inadequacies as a man.

"Sharp Objects" - Dir. Jean Marc Vallee with a Screenplay by Gillian Flynn Who doesn't enjoy a solid mystery/thriller? Although I responded to some elements of the film adaptation of Gillian Flynn's bestseller "Gone Girl" (2014) - it is definitely overrated. The second adaptation "Dark Places" (2015) starring Charlize Theron was overall lacklustre. "Sharp Objects" is the latest adaptation of a Gillian Flynn novel. This time as a stand alone series for HBO, with the screenplay also adapted by Flynn, directed by Jean Marc Vallee (the director behind "Big Little Lies") and starring Amy Adams and Patricia Clarkson.
"Destroyer" - Dir. Karyn Kusama On paper, âDestroyerâ sounds like something that shouldn't work. Nicole Kidman with a dark and dowdy transformation plays a corrupt detective named Erin Bell. She harbours guilt from a past undercover job gone wrong - almost two decades later she's a walking mess out for justice as Bell tries to reconcile her regrets of the past.
