Black Panther Movie Review

Earlier this week I went to see the Black Panther movie. Some of you may know that I despise comicbook based movies. Just going from the trailers they seem very generic, derivative and not very deep; I like science-fiction but there should be an element of intelligence in the story or plot. However, I do… Continue reading Black Panther Movie Review

3 billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri

I’m on quite a good run of films recently. I wasn’t planning to write another mini-review so quickly after the last one for All The Money In The World but my trip to The Pictures yesterday almost made me feel it was my patrotic duty to do so. Please be aware, if you’re so minded… Continue reading 3 billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri

All The Money In The World – Review

This is the second film of 2018 that I’ve seen at the Pictures and bizarrely, both have featured Michelle Williams, the other being The Greatest Showman. All The Money In The World is a dramatisation of a real life kidnap case involving the family of oil baron John Paul Getty II who at that time… Continue reading All The Money In The World – Review

My thoughts on Star Wars: The Last Jedi (No Spoilers)

I’ve always been a Star Wars fan, it was the first film I saw at the Pictures in 1977 when I was just 3.5 years old. I loved it then and I love it now. You can see my old review for Star Wars : The Force Awakens and also another on some of my favourite… Continue reading My thoughts on Star Wars: The Last Jedi (No Spoilers)

The Death of Stalin – Movie Review

Dear Comrades, it gives me great pleasure, indeed it is behoven on me to introduce to you one of the great cinematic treasures of 2017, The Death of Stalin. As the Presidium is no doubt aware (for they have eyes and ears everywhere) I’ve been waiting to see this film for months. It is black… Continue reading The Death of Stalin – Movie Review

Goodbye Christopher Robin Film Review

Every now and then you come across a film that you know will just turn out to be a classic even if it isn’t initially thought to be such. I am one of the few who went to see Shawshank Redemption at the cinema and even more remarkably, I loved it from the start. … Continue reading Goodbye Christopher Robin Film Review

The Limehouse Golem – Film Review

I haven’t spent much time at the cinema this year, that is mostly because I have been so busy but also due to the proliferation of those dreadful in my opinion comic book movies which rather take over the big screen. It seems I’m not alone as attendances have been way down but in the… Continue reading The Limehouse Golem – Film Review

15 of the best war films of all time.

It’s only a week now until the release of my most anticipated film of the year, Dunkirk. Despite being pivotal to the entire WW2, the brave and often selfless actions of the British Expeditionary Force and allied French and Belgian troops is often forgotten outside these shores. A matter that will be surely changed with… Continue reading 15 of the best war films of all time.

Roger Moore – Nobody Does It Better

We all have our own favourite James Bond actor and the films that go with it. There are always a few who like Timothy Dalton or George Lazenby but when it comes down to it, the choice is usually between Sir Sean Connery and Sir Roger Moore though it is must be said that Daniel… Continue reading Roger Moore – Nobody Does It Better
