Indie Movie Review – Wickedly Evil
—
Well, sometimes things turn out to be totally different to what you expected! When I was sent the info for Wickedly Evil it was described as a “comedy horror caper”. When the opening credits start any letters that can have them (W,M,V, etc.) have the pointy bits extended to look like canine teeth. So, when…

Movie Review – The Marvels
And so we come to the 33rd film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The Marvels is a bit like a mini-Avengers in that it isn’t single character lead. We have a trio running things under the control of Nick Fury (Samuel L Jackson); Carol Danvers (Brie Larson), Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris), and Kamala Khan (Iman…

RunPee Love Actually Hub
—
in HubTo mark the 20th anniversary of the release of Love Actually we decided to have a look through our articles and see if there was enough to put together a mini-hub.

Indie Movie Review – Werewolf Santa
—
“It never rains but it pours” as the old saying goes. It’s still not Hallowe’en and here I am on my second Christmas film! However, there is nothing, other than the season, that connects Christmas At The Holly Day Inn and Werewolf Santa. One is a heavily seasonal rom-com with a few famous faces, a…

TV Review – Mrs Sidhu Investigates

Indie Movie Review – 8 Found Dead
—
Sometimes you develop expectations about a film without any real justification. A young woman, Jessie (Jenny Tran), is driving out to a holiday home to prepare it for the new tenants. It is. remote, isolated, and so far off the beaten track that you’d need tracker dogs to find the track let alone the cabin.…

Documentary Review – The Pigeon Tunnel
There is a more than somewhat axiomatic saying dished out to aspiring writers…“Write what you know.” This can be good advice. If you wish to write a series about that misadventures of a group of teachers then it is a definite bonus to have spent some time working as a teacher. If you are writing…

20th Anniversary Rewatch Movie Review – Runaway Jury
I’ve said elsewhere that Runaway Jury is one of my go to, no think, easy watch options. Given that it will be twenty years old this year, I thought I’d better have a go at explaining why I enjoy it so much. I suppose it has to be the combination of a great cast and…
