I’ve written a lot of film reviews in my time and many of my favourite films have been based upon rather successful novels, none of which I have ever read. I just find that films based on books often are that little bit more deeper and thoughtful than the average film and such is the… Continue reading Where The Crawdads Sing – Movie Review

Top Gun Maverick – Review
I don’t know if like me you’re old enough to remember Top Gun. It was one of a giant wave of 80’s macho films mostly standing out from its crowd by ditching muscles and machine guns for an iconic 80’s soundtrack, fantastic cinematography and a relatively new and up and coming actor by the name… Continue reading Top Gun Maverick – Review
Interview with Life’s A Show Writer & Director – Harvey Puttock
Last week I posted a short review and link to the comedy short Life’s a Show which I was fortunate enough to be given a preview too. Afterwards I got to chat to writer and director Harvey Puttock about the film. If you didn’t get the chance to see the film, you can do so… Continue reading Interview with Life’s A Show Writer & Director – Harvey Puttock
Life’s a show – Film Review
One of the nice things about doing my blog for this long is that I often get invited to review films. I can’t accept every offer so pick those which I think might be fun or interesting and recently one such film came up that caught my attention. We’ve all had times where we feel… Continue reading Life’s a show – Film Review
Going back to the cinema after lockdown to watch The Unholy!
As everyone else has awaited the end of lockdown to go to the shops, pubs, eat out or simply to meet up with someone, for me I have been waiting 17 months to go to the cinema. I’ve always loved going to the cinema since my first outing to see Star Wars when I was… Continue reading Going back to the cinema after lockdown to watch The Unholy!
Roe v. Wade (2021) Movie Review
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
Coronavirus Diary 17 – Social Distancing with Opera, Fräuleins and the low-skilled!
I was reading this morning that the social restrictions the government have put in place a month ago have been so successful that they are worried on how to convince people to come out again once it is safe to do so. I’d go a step further and say except for the whole Coronavirus, I… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 17 – Social Distancing with Opera, Fräuleins and the low-skilled!
Colette – Film Review
It has been a few weeks since I had been to the Pictures and when I got up last Wednesday, I hadn’t planned to be going again on that particular day. Christmas is a bad time to see anything good at the cinema unless your idea of good equates to something like a 10 year… Continue reading Colette – Film Review
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
