Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny – What You Need To Know
—
Indiana Jones returns for his fifth adventure…Indiana Jones and The Dial Of Destiny. The fact that Harrison Ford is now eighty years old seems not to be much of a problem. Less of a problem than trying to introduce an Indiana Jones Jr. Jr. in the last film. Which was a mere fourteen years ago when…

Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3 – What You Need To Know
I’ll admit that my first watch of Guardians Of The Galaxy left me quite cold. However, I had another look and got hooked! One theme running through the first two films was that Peter Quill/Star-Lord had a couple of cassettes left to him by his Earthling mother. This meant that there was a brilliant 60s/70s…

I Can’t Be Bothered Thinking, Just Stick This One On
—
I know that I’ve mentioned this on many occasions, but I have a selection of films which I just put on when I can’t be bothered thinking about what I want to watch. By that I mean, I suppose, my favourites which I am happy to watch over and over again. Sometimes I have to…

Movie Review – Prey (2022)
Ah, 1987…I remember it well. I am one of those people that, when someone mentions the eighties, thinks “that’s about ten years ago”. I have to have a sit down when I realise it’s actually over thirty years ago. Back then I was, like a lot of people, on an Arnie high; The Terminator was…

Joker: Folie à Deux – What You Need To Know
When Joker came out in 2019, I held mixed opinions; I liked the film but didn’t feel it fitted in with the DCEU. In short, it could have been about a random psychopath and the city just happened to be called Gotham. Still, if it is as good as the original I’m ready to forgive…

Best Of British Biographies – Danny Boyle
—
I’m sure that I’ve said somewhere else that, way back in the nineties, I bought a house based mainly on the proximity to the Davenport Theatre. It was couple of hundred metres away and I could walk around, get a pint or two, and watch a film. As the name suggests, it was originally a…
