I have a day off today and I thought I would go to the cinema this morning but then it struck me how there is absolutely nothing of any merit playing on one of the many, many screens at the local multiplex. I know I’m not the only one who thinks this and even genre… Continue reading When did Cinema become so infantile?

Top 10 movies of 2015
With the end of the year approaching, It’s traditional or as traditional as is possible for my blog, to have a quick look at the top films of 2015. (You can see my list of TV shows here) It was quite a strong year for what I would call ‘proper films’. Not your whizz-bang plotless teenage… Continue reading Top 10 movies of 2015
James Bond – Spectre – Film Review
I’ve been looking forward to Spectre for a long time. I’m a big James Bind fan, I like all the movies except for the Pierce Brosnan films which for some reason I really don’t like at all. I guess I just found him too smarmy and the films too generically action orientated. The Daniel Craig… Continue reading James Bond – Spectre – Film Review
Don’t Panic! Don’t Panic! New Dad’s Army film but are remakes worth the risk?

There was a flurry of interesting films in the spring but with a total lack of big name films such as James Bond or Star Trek, there seemed to be a long period… Continue reading The Top Movies and TV Shows of 2014
The Fault In Our Stars
Today I went out to see a film on the spur of the moment. I didn’t even know that I was going to go out and I certainly didn’t know that I was going to see this particular film. I was minded to go and see the film ‘Chef’ but then I saw that ‘A… Continue reading The Fault In Our Stars
Going To The Cinema Alone…. Specifically For The Great Gatsby (2013 film)
For the last few months whilst being without a job I have made it my business to go to the cinema once a week on a Tuesday during which I get to see films for half price. It may be a surprise but these 2 hours or so at the cinema are the only time… Continue reading Going To The Cinema Alone…. Specifically For The Great Gatsby (2013 film)
