Indie Movie Review – Dear Elizabeth (2022)
Who amongst us hasnโt had a crush on someone? It might be someone who is actually a part of your daily life or, as in Dear Elizabeth, it could be someone who you can only worship from afar. I have to admit that I have an enormous soft spot for Victoria Coren Mitchell for a…

Christmas Movie Review – Spirited
โ
Same as buses! Wait ages for one and then they all start to arrive at once. So it is with Christmas films. Last week I had a look at Christmas In The Caribbean and now I have to add another to our Christmas film hubโฆSpirited. Apple Studios have produced a new adaptation of A Christmas…

Movie Review – Living
Not every remake of a Japanese film has to be a horror, sci-fi, or action story. Godzilla, The Ring, and The Magnificent Seven may be the best known English language remakes of Japanese films but they donโt have to be loud, brash, and adrenaline fuelled to be considered for a language switch remakeโฆLiving proves the…

Indie Movie Review – The Scottish Play
โ
in IndependentLetโs face itโฆfilms are supposed to be enjoyable. Well, thatโs my opinion anyway. I havenโt done any real research but my guess is that most audiences tend to be fairly evenly divided by those who find Shakespeare enjoyable and those who donโt. Some were put off by having to learn it in school, some were…

โ
Black Panther resonated for a number of reasons and the inevitable sequel was eagerly awaited. Then the real world took over with the untimely death of Chadwick Boseman. Speculation was rife as to the direction that would be taken: would the part of T’Challa be recast or would his absence be addressed in some way.…

Best Of British Biographies – Emma Thompson
โ
in BiographyWho knows who she could have been. God, an FBI trainee, a bunny boiler, and, arguably, the worldโs most famous flasher. Instead sheโs been the Prime Minister, the First Lady, a professor, and a number of queens. โWhat is the daft old fool rabbiting on about now?โ youโre probably wondering. Quite simply, those are some…

Halloween Movie Classics – The Haunting – 1963
โ
As weโre still hurtling towards the spooky season of Halloween I thought it appropriate to write a few words on another of my favourite scary films. This time it is Robert Wiseโs 1963 masterpiece The Haunting. At the risk of being repetitive, it is the 1963 version Iโm talking about NOT the woeful 1999 remake…

Halloween Movie Classics – Night Of The Demon -1957
โ
in HorrorDespite me having said on many occasions that I not a fan of horror films as a genre, there are, however, one or two exceptions to my self imposed rule. Seeing as how it is the Halloween season I thought Iโd have a little watch of one or two. The first one is nearly as…
