Loretta Sage (Sandra Bullock) is my kind of person. A writer, struggling with her new novel, reclusive until her publicist drags her on a book tour. Worse, the cover model (Channing Tatum) from her hugely popular bonk-lit series has been booked for the tour, too. However, Loretta isn't just a 'women's fiction' writer: she's in … Continue reading The Lost City (2022)

Seriously, people are raving about this like it's the best comic … Continue reading The Suicide Squad (2021)

I have a very low tolerance for cheesy Christmas movies, and yet there's still room for something a bit festive. Would Godmothered be able to walk that tightrope?
