Anyone who was hitting their teens in the mid to late 90s will have stayed up late watching films on the then newly launched Channel 5. Whilst they’ve managed to show some incredibly popular films over the 20-odd years the channel has been in existence, there’s been a lot of turkeys too. Samurai Cop, from […]

I’ve never watched Alfred Hitchcock: The 1940s
It’s been a long time since I last wrote about any movies, but I decided last night that it was confession time. I’ve mentioned this to a few people but I recently came to the realisation that I’d never (knowingly, at least) watched an Alfred Hitchcock film. There are others on this BFI list that […]
“It is what it is” – The Irishman
This week I finally got around to watching Martin Scorsese’s “The Irishman”, I’d be putting it off until after the school holidays had ended, purely because at three and a half hours long it wasn’t a film I’d want to watch once they’d gone to bed and I’m certainly not going to watch it whilst […]
The Rise of Skywalker my spoiler-filled opinions.
Before I go ahead with this, I should enforce the headline of this article, what I am about to write is going to be full of spoilers. That’s not to say that every single moment in the film will be in there, there’s probably tonnes of stuff that I’ve forgotten since my viewing finished at […]
On Review Scores
I’ve seen two people writing about review scores on games recently, its not an uncommon discussion. Brad at Mental Health Gaming (whom you should all keep an eye on) recently wrote about why he will never have review scores on his website. Whilst Lottie Bevan in issue 27 of Wireframe Magazine discussed the correlation between boobs […]
How the Joker plays his ultimate joke
Like everybody else, I recently visited my local cinema to watch Todd Phillips’ “Joker”, I decided to make some notes on the bus home and then return them a few days later once I’d had time to think on them. I’ll get this right out there by stating that I really quite liked the movie, […]
Reservoir Dogs
Imagine living with someone for nearly 18 years and in that time watching many, many movies, some of them your favourites, some of them theirs and some of them movies that neither of you have ever seen before. During that time you’d pretty much know what films each of you haven’t seen and surely there […]
Jurassic Park
Back in June I turned 35, one of the gifts I was given was a posters featuring 100 must see movies and each movie features a scratch off panel with some artwork behind. It’s not proclaiming to be a list of the 100 best movies of all time but its a pretty good list, although […]
The Matrix, a 20th anniversary viewing
People who follow me on Instagram will know that on Monday 29th July I went to a late night showing of The Matrix to mark 20 years since its original release, now that was actually 6 weeks later than its actual anniversary, as it was released on 11 June 1999. I didnt see it until […]
