Indie Movie Review – A Small Fortune
—
Some films are head scratchers. What’s going on? Who are they? Why are they doing that? Usually getting the answers is what is what keeps you gripped until the answers are forthcoming. Sometimes you have questions because you just aren’t sure what’s going on. During A Small Fortune there was a bit of the latter…

Indie Movie Review – The Adventures Of Jurassic Pet 2: The Lost Secret
—
The joy, for me, of independent films is seeing how they make up for the lack of budget. I mean, being serious for a minute, the usual budget for the making of the whole indie films that I see wouldn’t cover the cost of the chap who brews the stagehands’ tea on a Marvel film.…

Movie Review – The Unlikely Pilgrimage Of Harold Fry
Well…good news, bad news! The bad news is that, due to technical problems which I have to sort out before Guardians Of The Galaxy: Vol 3 comes out next week, I couldn’t actually sort out Peetimes for The Unlikely Pilgrimage Of Harold Fry. The good news is that it is, pretty much, the first film…

Movie Review – Ghosted
Apple TV+’s latest offering is, apparently, something of a record breaker. The first two days saw 328,500 people watching Ghosted. Obviously that’s chicken feed compared to something like Avengers: Endgame but in the world of non-theatrical releases it is, apparently, quite a big deal. That’s way more than the first two days of other highly…

Iron Man – 15th Anniversary Rewatch Review
Yet again another reminder that, to quote Andrew Marvell, “But at my back I always hear, Time’s wingèd chariot hurrying near”. I was sitting with my grandson, Theo, and he had put on “an old film” which he quite liked. He’s only four and a half so his idea of what is “old” is somewhat…

Superman: The Movie – 45th Anniversary Rewatch
—
Forty five years!!! One of the things about getting older is that there are so many anniversaries that keep popping up. Only last week one of my FaceBook memories was a posting I made about it being the 40th anniversary of the release of Elton John’s Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. I remembered that being released!…

in HubWelcome to yet another pagan holiday mercilessly plundered by the mainstream religious groups! Yes, all the stuff about rabbits, eggs, hot cross buns, etc. was doing the rounds way before that guy was nailed to a plank for saying it would be a neat idea if we all started being nice to each other. But…

Movie Review – Tetris
I have to admit that when I heard that there was a film based on the Tetris game in the pipeline my heart sank just a little. After all, I remember the farce that was Super Mario Bros and Street Fighter. I couldn’t begin to imagine what the narrative would be but I did have…

Asteroid City – What You Need To Know
There’s no secret about me being a fan of Wes Anderson. I’ve only actually reviewed one of his films (The French Dispatch) but that’s more down to timing than apathy; I may do a rewatch review series one day. Anyway, there’s absolutely no surprise that I’m pleased that there’ll be not one but two new…

Indie Movie Review – Adalynn
—
I’m not sure how widespread the concept of The Curate’s Egg is but, just in case, it is something described as partly bad and partly good. In its original usage, it referred to something that is obviously and entirely bad, but is described out of politeness as nonetheless having good features that redeem it. Adalynn most…
