What I think about films, TV and celebs!
When it was announced that Big Little Lies was coming back for a season two, I criticised the idea on Metro.co.uk, saying it was only meant to be one series, as the action covered all of Liane Moriarty‘s book, and there was no real reason for a continued storyline, except for that little detective tease at the very end. I loved the first season and didn’t want a rushed, half-arsed follow-up to ruin it – and that’s generally what we got.
The issue of gay conversion therapy is certainly one that is important and timely which is probably why two films on the same topic have come out so close together. Luckily, Boy Erased is substantially different to The Miseducation of Cameron Post, but I liked the way the latter was told more.
Everyone is talking about Nicole Kidman‘s transformation in Destroyer and there is a reason for that – it is jaw-droppingly incredible and she looks almost unrecognisable, and her performance is top notch too. However, the film itself is slow, depressing and pretty dull.
I don’t have a very high opinion of the DC Extended Universe (excluding Wonder Woman) so I was expecting another disappointing effort with Aquaman’s standalone debut, so imagine my surprise when I found myself enjoying it.
Last week, Nicole Kidman paid a trip to BAFTA’s London headquarters for their ‘A Life In Pictures’ career retrospective series. She had many movies to delve into, but thankfully she gave time to talk about Moulin Rouge! and Australia, her two collaborations with Baz Luhrmann.
Last night, Nicole Kidman came to BAFTA’s London HQ in Piccadilly for their annual A Life in Pictures series – and here’s all the interesting things she had to say.

How to Talk to Girls at Parties was one of the films I was most excited to watch at the London Film Festival, but I wasn’t alone and every public screening sold out, so I had wait until now to see it. Unfortunately it didn’t quite live up to expectations, even though I had a lot of fun with it.
This awards season, I have been doing the red carpet analysis for all the major awards shows and we’re now at the climax – the Oscars!
On Thursday night, it was another red carpet – the Critics’ Choice Awards – which means more fashion for us to check out!
