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 […]
Spirited Away
On Friday I had the pleasure of seeing Hayao Miyazaki’s Spirited Away at the cinema, its not my favourite Miyazaki (or Studio Ghibli) movie, that goes to Princess Mononoke, but its not often that many of us get to see these films on the big screen, especially somewhere like Bedford (there’s a showing of Princess […]
“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 […]
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, […]
El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie
As most of the people reading this will be aware, on Friday Netflix released El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie. The movie, released 6 years after the end of the main TV series, follows Jesse Pinkman after his escape from Jack’s compound at the very end of the final episode. Thats not where things start […]
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 […]
