Movie Reviews:
- Licorice Pizza – A 70s delight… with caveats.Somehow, all of Paul Thomas Anderson’s movies have completely past me by, I don’t know why. Don’t ask. I’ll rectify it when I have chance.

- West Side Story – Do we really need a remake?Short answer. Yes. 100%. Remakes are necessary. I haven’t seen the original 60s version, and likely never will. I mean with all the brand new content, how the hell am I expected to go back and watch movies from the 60s…? What’s that?
