It’s been a long time since I did a film review, understandably so as with so much of public life, film-going has been all but shut down at least in the old-fashioned going to the cinema sort of way. Thankfully there are now streaming services available where we can in some way satisfy our craving… Continue reading Roe v. Wade (2021) Movie Review

Top 10 films of 2018
It’s become tradition that every year I do a blog post listing my favourite television programmes and films of the year. As for the big screen, I don’t think it has been a classic year either. I don’t think anything has quite touched the brilliance of last years Goodbye Christopher Robin or Arrival . Here are the… Continue reading Top 10 films of 2018
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

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
Lion – The Movie Review
I’m not lucky in many ways but one thing I am fortunate in is that I really know what sort of movies I like. What I like is something substantial and thoughtful. The majority of films I see advertised at the cinema do exactly what they are supposed to do… show potential audiences the… Continue reading Lion – The Movie Review
Arrival – Movie Review
It’s a long time since I wrote a film review adn that is partly because I’ve been too busy to watch many and those that I have seen, have not really been worth the effort to write about but Arrival is definitely something very different. Last Sunday afternoon I had spent several hours of it… Continue reading Arrival – Movie Review
Star Trek Beyond Review (Mild Spoilers)
The original Star Trek show was lauded for its starting point of putting a positive vision of the future in the otherwise gloomy world of the late 1960’s. Today, the world in some ways is under more threat than ever. War and dictatorship across the Middle-East, increasingly assertive China and dictatorial Russia, repeated acts terrorism… Continue reading Star Trek Beyond Review (Mild Spoilers)
