What a wholesome movie! ♥️
This is not your average Twitch stream nor your usual Grand Theft Auto experience either. It’s the story of two mates, out of work during the blasted pandemic, and their production of Hamlet via yours truly, GTA Online. It’s not as barmy as it sounds, and there’s a lot of heart to this one. This is a tale of how Grand Theft Hamlet was birthed from…
It’s one of those movies that elicits a “This can’t be serious, right?!” type of reaction from me. It’s a bittersweet realisation that it’s likely one of those movies I wished I didn’t miss as a kid! Perhaps for the better, as heads will roll (literally) and crotches BE crotch-ing. I fear it hits differently when you watch it for the first time as an adult, but it sure is…
I start by saying, that I would NOT survive if I had to attend THAT ungodly amount of weddings in ONE summer?! I try to escape from gatherings with mates, slipping into the shadows like I was never there, let alone a full-on EVENT. And MULTIPLE ones, at that! My jaw would be sore from my lips pursing upwards; my soul would be crushed from endless small talk; and my soles would be blister-torn. I’d be…
Jason Schwartzman, is that YOU? Talk about keeping it in the family business!
It’s likely that I would’ve forgotten this in a week’s time, but it sure has succeeded in stirring a pondering or two. Perhaps it resonated with me more due to where I’m currently at in life. When you experience a shockwave in an aspect of your life that you’ve tied so closely to your identity, it…
…sighhhhhhhh…
First, I’m miffed that I left before the post-credits teaser to Oz Perkins’ upcoming movie, Keeper. I missed NEON’s PCU memo! Anyway, I hope to see more of Tatiana Maslany, as her role here felt more like an extended cameo. So did Elijah Wood’s part, but that’s the least of the issues I have with The Monkey. I love a horror comedy as much as the next…

Welcome to my 400th review! 🎉 Thank you, LB Wonders 💫, for dropping by, and without further ado, here is what’s Mad About The Boy!
Bridget Jones will always hold a special place in my heart. She is one of the British pillars, an icon that ruled in my formative years. I didn’t expect a fourth follow-up to the 3-movie run, and I’m glad to report back how much…

Anora is 100% locked in as one of my all-time favourites. It still stands as my movie of 2024, so I’m loving how I'm seeing it pick up the Best Picture and Ensemble accolades. As it should! This rewatch brought back the memories that I cherish from watching this at my first BFI…
The Accountant is one of those movies I’ve seen random bits aired on TV. I finally watched this, as it intrigued me what warranted a sequel coming out this year. I thought this might not be my kind of movie, but it turned out to be the perfect watch on a relaxing Sunday morning. It was a decent time, where there were solid action scenes and some semblance of a narrative that I find a few…
Initially, the off-kilter spin on Beauty and the Beast hooked me in, as I love to see a fresh twist on tales as old as time. Unfortunately, the tone never hits the ground running, like, is this a skit? Or a powwow of female empowerment? Is it about theatre kids and a penchant for the dramatics? Or subvert the “monster hidden in our closets”? Final girl vibes? Your Monster is palpable…
Blow Out is a neatly executed thriller, with exhilarating sequences—the slow-mo crowd walk in the finale was a highlight. Shots, beautiful shots, and aerial views in places you least expect it! It’s a unique premise, where a sound engineer accidentally records the right thing at the right time, but in the wrong place. Jack is your “everyday man” caught in an “extraordinary scenario”. He’s just trying to perfect the spine-tingling scream for a B-grade exploitation piece.…

Shuffle your Watchlist three times and choose between the three movies. May the Letterboxd Deities look upon us all favourably! ☘️
🍊If anyone’s curious, my shuffle choices were: Incendies, Calvary, and Night of the Living Dead. This week’s watch also knocks one more off “My Collection First Watches” list too!

Incendies is an incredibly harrowing war piece, which has messed me up, well, forever. It is a movie…
