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…

Riddick 4: Furya – What You Need To Know
—
Pitch Black came out in 2000 and introduced us to the character Riddick played by Vin Diesel. It was a success and so there was the inevitable run of sequels; The Chronicles Of Riddick (2004), and Riddick (2013). The fourth Riddick outing was first announced in 2014 but everything seemed to go quiet for a…

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…

Wakanda Forever – What You Need To Know About Black Panther 2
Of all the films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever may well be one of the most anticipated…possibly even more than the Infinity War/Endgame coupling. This is the first MCU film to be released following the real-world demise of a leading actor. The studio decided not to recast the role; personally, I…

Contact – Silver Anniversary Movie Rewatch
What links French philosopher Voltaire, The Return Of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, an ancient king of Assyria, and Captain Picard’s tea? The link is one of my favourite films. That film hits its 25th anniversary this summer; that film is Contact. One other thing before I get going, there may well be spoilers. All…
