Indie Movie Review – Bite Me (2019)
Soโฆyet another vampire film. Whenever you think of a vampire film you automatically start thinking of garlic, holy water, stakes, and factor five hundred sunscreen. Letโs just throw it in the โhorrorโ bin and see what comes up next. But wait a minuteโฆBite Me isnโt really a horror film. Other than the fact there…

Non-Christmas Christmas Movies – Riders Of Justice/Retfรฆrdighedens Ryttere (2020)
โ
Sometimes you review a film because itโs just being released. Another time youโll review a film because itโs part of a season or a theme. And then thereโll be times when you want to review a film for other reasons. Riders Of Justice or Retfรฆrdighedens Ryttere falls into the latter category. I have to admit…

Movie Review – The Tragedy Of Macbeth (2021)
I donโt think there is anyone out there who is unaware of William Shakespeare. You might not have actually been to a theatre to see a production but, paradoxically, that isnโt the only place to see Shakespeareโs words being performed. I donโt think itโs over pushing the point to say that most people havenโt necessarily…

Indie Movie Review – Confession (2022)
โ
I did have to check my CV to make sure that I hadnโt, somehow, ended up as the publicist for Stephen Moyer! It only seemed five minutes ago that I was watching him in Krays: Code Of Silence and here he is again in Confession! Fortunately, as with his turn as Nipper Reed, watching him…

Indie Movie Review – First Date (2021)
โ
You always have to take how the studios describe their new releases with a pinch of salt. Letโs face it, they do have a dog in the fight and want to see it do well. Sometimes they try and claim a link to greatness; written by Robert De Niroโs gardener for instance. Other times theyโll…

Indie Movie Review – An Exquisite Meal
Talk about going in cold! Usually there is a bit of blurb or a summary on IMDb to get an idea of what Iโm about to see. But, for An Exquisite Meal, this time there was nothing other than the genre boxes which said โComedyโ and โThrillerโ. As the running time is only an hour…

Non-Christmas Christmas Movies – First View Review of First Blood
Whenever you hear of a film with Rambo in the title, youโll no doubt think of wall to wall violence, tidal waves of blood, and a soundtrack consisting mainly of gunshots, screams, and explosions. You may also think of bulging biceps as Rambo hauls back on the string of a bow so he can pick…

Best of British Biographies – Anthony Hopkins
โ
There are ways of saying how old you are without saying how old you are. For instance, if you were to say that the first Doctor Who you remember watching is William Hartnell, then youโre of a significantly more mature vintage than if you remember, say, David Tennant. I was thinking thereโd be a similar…

MCU Disney+ Review – WandaVision
โ
And here we go with the MCUโs dive into television. Incidentally, should it still be the MCU? Or should it now be the MCTVU? I guess thatโs one of those questions which doesnโt require looking at too closely. Anyway, WandaVision is the first TV series from Marvel Studios and, also, the introduction to Phase Four,…

Independent Films Reviewed in 2021
โ
in IndependentWhile the mainstream cinema has been hobbled by the necessary restrictions put in place by the pandemic, the smaller, independent producers haven’t been so restrained. In fact, I go as far as to say that some independent producers were actually inspired by the situation and managed to take advantage of empty streets and the high…
