Film review: Lovelace

What’s it about? Lovelace (18) has been the film on everyone’s lips since production on the biopic was first announced. Everyone’s heard about porn star Linda Lovelace and her infamous “talent”, but what do we really know about her story?

If you’ve never watched Deep Throat, read Linda’s tell-all book and or watched any documentaries about the film, you might walk into the cinema expecting a comical Boogie Nights-style film about a pretty girl who made a funny porn film back in the 70s. And at the start you’re led believe the film is exactly that…

Film review - The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones

Lily Collins, Jamie Campbell-Bower and Robert Sheehan star in The Mortal Instruments and here's what we thought about it...



So what’s going on then? The Mortal Instruments follows Clary Fray, whose world gets turned upside down when her mother is kidnapped and she discovers that she can see Shadow Hunters (a group of badass half angel/half human demon hunters). Turns out Clary's mum has been hiding a secret about who she really is, and now Clary is forced to try and discover as much as she can so she can find her mother. Naturally she can't help but begin to fall for the charms of the lead Shadow Hhunter, Jace, much to the disappointment of lovestruck her best friend Simon.

Who’s in it that I’ve heard of? You've been seeing her in awesome outfits as she promotes the film so naturally all eyes are on the stunning Lily Collins who plays Clary, alongside Jamie Campbell-Bower as leading man, Jace.

Film Review: The Heat

There’s been a lot of focus on the fact that Bridesmaids director Paul Feig is once again empowering females in comedy with his new buddy cop film, but that’s not the main reason you should watch it.



The Heat has everything we’ve come to love and expect from classic buddy cop films: incompatible agents with a love-hate relationship are forced to stumble through their investigation with hilariously disastrous effects before slowly bonding to become an unstoppable crime-fighting team. The only difference is that The Heat has two brilliant female leads – Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy.

Bullock plays FBI Agent Ashburn, who’s extremely efficient at her job but whose arrogance means she’s not the best team player around. Keen to get a promotion, she’s forced to prove to her boss that she can work with a partner but, unfortunately for her, she ends up with the brash and outlandish Agent Mullins (McCarthy).

The pair couldn’t be more opposite: Ashburn likes to outsmart people by getting into their heads while Mullins simply prefers to bash in their heads! And so hilarity ensues thanks to Katie Dippold’s perfectly written scenarios that let Bullock and McCarthy do what they do best – be funny!
