#I'mNotDavidNorMargaret, Film Reviews My Way 2015


So Spring has sprung in Sydney and the weather is mega random, from hot one day and dry as a nun's nasty to cold, wet and windy as fuck forcing me indoors on a day off to see the fee good, food porn flick BURNT.



I hate Masterchef, MKR, The Hot Plate and any other food porn reality show on Australian TV, but for some reason on the big screen food porn is OK with me. Particularly at the start of the film with it's electro/soul/jazz pumping music in the background.

Now why I was sold on this film was Amy Schumer, yes Amy Schumer, her SNL intro the other day was fucking brilliant and her comments on Bradley Cooper, well sold me on this film.


So did you laugh? Well like her amazing Live at the Apollo hour set I was beside myself.

So back to Burnt, the cast is strong, Bradley Cooper (as Amy mentioned), Uma Thurman (what has happened to her lately), Omar Sy & Emma Thompson.

It's a melting pot of stars but Cooper is the main focus in this drama with a touch of romance (both gay and straight - CUTE), lots of food porn, redemption, comedy and a bit of self help along the way.

So how does it rate? Well I have had a super run of films lately so you came along at a bad time Burnt, however I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would. Burnt is cute, feel good and perfect on a wet, random and raining cats and dogs Spring Day. Burnt gets 3 Michelin Stars (that is also a major plot point in the film BTW). Laters...
