Fall Movie Review

I’ve seen quite a few good films so far this year though perhaps not as many as I would like due to work commitments and indeed release schedules being in tatters after Covid. On Sunday I went to see Fall, partly as I liked the trailer but also because Jeffrey Dean Morgan is in it,… Continue reading Fall Movie Review

Where The Crawdads Sing – Movie Review

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

Last Night In Soho Movie Review

I have been waiting for this film for a year or so but it has been long delayed due to Covid. I really liked the look of it from the trailers and though those elements are very enticing and didn’t disappoint, the actual film is so much better. I’ve written before how I often experienced… Continue reading Last Night In Soho Movie Review

No Time To Die – James Bond Movie Review

This review does contain some unusually massive spoilers for the new James Bond film, please consider yourselves warned or as Q would say…. pay attention 007! It’s interesting that this is the first James Bond film where in the famous intro 007 shoots an assassin and there is no blood that covers up the sight,… Continue reading No Time To Die – James Bond Movie 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!

Coronavirus Diary 65 – Social Distancing at the Cinema with a blockbuster (Tenet) movie review

Just before moving, I got myself an annual cinema card as going to the Pictures is my favourite pastime. I thought I’d move house and finally get to go to unlimited movies, cricket matches, Theatre productions.  None of that is likely to really happen until after the winter I am sure,  Now, one way or… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 65 – Social Distancing at the Cinema with a blockbuster (Tenet) 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
