Interstellar

April 18, 2020 by NunntheWiser

Interstellar was one of the seemingly very few 100 Greatest Movies that wasn’t a Mafia movie or a dreadful Japanese cartoon. I’m not opposed to a good sci-fi yarn, so with a bag of popcorn, TheBloke (TM) and I settled down for a good two hours and 49 minutes of sci-fi fun. Unfortunately, that’s not … [Read more…]

Spirited Away

March 14, 2020 by NunntheWiser
spirited away

I had never seen Spirited Away, being neither a fan of Japanese animation, nor whimsy. Who needs whimsy? Not me! TheBloke (TM) had discovered that one of the Top 100 Movies – Spirited Away – was now available on Netflix. So, kids at school, popcorn prepared, we sat down to watch it. It started promisingly. … [Read more…]

Joker

Joker Movie poster

Joker was not one of the 100 greatest movies to review on our list, but TheBloke (TM) wanted to watch it for his birthday. So I thought I may as well tell you my thoughts, as I expect the world has been waiting on tenterhooks. I don’t like superhero movies. At all. I know they’re … [Read more…]

The Pianist

January 27, 2020 by NunntheWiser

“I watched The Pianist yesterday, ready for my next review,” I told my Dad. “Oh, another Harvey Keitel movie?” Mr Nunn replied. As previously mentioned, I have face blindness, so genuinely can watch incredibly famous people in movies, and have been completely unaware of their presence. (Case in point, I was just Googling The Pianist … [Read more…]

Reservoir Dogs

January 19, 2020 by NunntheWiser
Reservoir dogs movie poster

So, my Reservoir Dogs review. I have several problems with Reservoir Dogs. Firstly, and perhaps most misleadingly of all, there were no dogs, nor a single reservoir. If you had tuned into this movie, hoping for a wildlife documentary focusing on the canine exploits of dogs gallivanting around a reservoir, you will be, sadly, disappointed. … [Read more…]

Coco

January 18, 2020 by NunntheWiser

Coco was the first of the movies we’ve watched so far that I was actually sort of looking forward to. We made a family event of it; I made the kids some popcorn, and we all settled down together and watched the movie. EldestGirl had seen half of it before, but had given up when … [Read more…]

The Godfather

January 14, 2020 by NunntheWiser
Godfather movie poster

Before I delve any deeper into the world of film reviews, I have a confession to make. I suffer from a weird condition called prosopagnosia – otherwise known as face blindness. This means I have trouble recognising people (often until I have met them several times) and also provides a decent – if fairly true … [Read more…]

The Prestige

January 8, 2020 by NunntheWiser
prestige movie poster

I had literally never heard of The Prestige, but (unlike seemingly the majority of the movies on the 100 Best Movie chart we bought), it appeared to be neither a Mafia movie, nor a Western. That alone sold it to me. And you know what, for the first twenty minutes or so, I quite enjoyed … [Read more…]

New Year – New Challenge

January 1, 2020 by NunntheWiser

It has been beyond ages since I’ve done a blog. There have been several reasons for this. The first – abject laziness – is probably the most compelling. But also, as the children get older, it seems less kind to write about their foibles. All tiny children are absolute dickheads. That goes without saying. Reporting … [Read more…]
