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
Star Wars: The Force Awakens Review (No blasters, no bla… I mean spoilers)
I distinctly remember going to see the very first Star Wars film all the way back in 1977. It was the first time I had ever gone to The Pictures and I was a little less than 3 and a half years old. I remember being amazed by the special effects even then and the… Continue reading Star Wars: The Force Awakens Review (No blasters, no bla… I mean spoilers)
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?
One of the things I find being an avid cinema and television fan is that remakes are often ultimately disappointing. I’d much rather watch a brand new idea rather than revisit an old one which is likely to be much less enjoyable than the memories, if slightly biased of older classics. You can never… Continue reading Don’t Panic! Don’t Panic! New Dad’s Army film but are remakes worth the risk?
My tribute to James Horner – Movie composer extraordinaire
I was sad to hear last night about the death of composer and musician James Horner who died as a result of the crash of solo plane he was flying. Despite being only 61 years of age, James Horner has a grand back catalogue of music to his name. It’s fair to say that he… Continue reading My tribute to James Horner – Movie composer extraordinaire
Mad Max Fury Road Film Review
Last year I posted one or two film reviews mostly of dramas or historic themes but recently I watch Mad Max Fury Road and thought it was worthy of my attention! I originally posted this review on the wonderful Smorgasbord blog by Sally Cronin. Mad Max Fury Road has been rated as in the Top… Continue reading Mad Max Fury Road Film Review
Kajaki: A True Story – Movie Review
Until a few weeks ago I thought 2014 was turning out to be pretty weak for films but recently having watched the excellent movies The Imitation Game and Mr Turner I became intrigued by a trailer I had seen detailing a true story from the war in Afghanistan. The events depicted in Kajaki are based… Continue reading Kajaki: A True Story – Movie Review
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
The Book Thief
Yesterday I went to the cinema as I often do on a Tuesday morning, one of the benefits of working from home. Usually the cinema is empty with the staff outnumbering the movie-goers but not yesterday. The cinema is exactly 12 minutes walk away and there are usually 15 minutes of trailers before the film… Continue reading The Book Thief
