I'm a writer/editor who's been at the site since 2015. I cover politics, weird history, video games and... well, anything really. Keep it breezy, keep it light, keep it straightforward.
This political earnestness is rare in modern mainstream cinema, but Pride works from a rock-solid conviction that success lies in cooperation, understanding and empathy.
Hercules is a creaky bit of cheap-looking, inconsequential fluff that squanders any potential and contains not a jot of passion, imagination or creativity. So, in summary, it's a Brett Ratner film.
Pulp: A Film About Life, Death and Supermarkets is a magnificent documentary that fully understands its subject.

Benny & Jolene almost entirely succeeds on the shoulders of Craig Roberts and Charlotte Ritchie, as they have genuine chemistry which saves the film's bacon.
So, futile as it might be, please don't go and see Blended. It's a quasi-racist, deeply boring waste of time, money and talent that makes the world an imperceptibly worse place merely by existing. I suffered through it so you don't have to! Avoid at all costs. I'm not kidding.
