The Giant James Bond Rewatch –ย Tomorrow Never Dies (1997)
Of all the things thatย Tomorrow Never Diesย has going for it something that, perhaps, doesnโt spring immediately to mind is the sheer weight of originality. This is the first film in the franchise to have no relationship with anything written by Ian Fleming outside of the character names. Licence To Killย was a virtual pick and mix…

The Giant James Bond Rewatch – Quantum of Solace (2008)
I think itโs fair to say thatย Quantum Of Solaceย came in for a fair bit of stick. To be brutally frank it started getting stick before it had even been seen. The cat started peeping out of the bag in September 2007 as people noticed that Sony had registered the domain nameย quantumofsolacemovie.com. When the title…

Indie Movie Review –ย Repeat
I know that the big studios have been panicking about their health and, indeed, long-term future, which explains why so many blockbusting tent poles were withheld and all the fuss over Tenet ย actually being released. The main fear is, presumably, that people will get out of the habit of getting out of their comfy armchairs…

Noโฆ Time To Die?
โ
This weekend itโll all be over. No, I havenโt got an appointment with Dignitas and a one-way ticket to Switzerland. What I mean is that I have my tickets booked for Daniel Craigโs last outing as James Bond in No Time To Die and by this time next week Iโll have watched it, written the…

The Giant James Bond Rewatch –ย Skyfall (2012)
Iโm doing this review last of all despite it being my first pickโฆย Skyfallย is definitely my favourite Bond film, just edging outย Casino Royale. Iโll admit that in this regard Iโm at odds with the voters of IMDb.comโฆ they have Casino Royale at 8.0/10 with Skyfall and Goldfinger tying for second on 7.7/10. I havenโt hidden my…

A Groundhog Day Perspective on Ryan Reynold’sย Free Guy
โ
We all know that things have been all over the place, thanks to the devastation caused by Plague 2.0. There used to be an order to things; films came out in the cinema for a few weeks or months, depending on how popular it was assessed they would be. The phrase โreleased directly to videoโ…

Indie Movie Review –ย My Best Worst Adventure
My Best Worst Adventure is a story thatโs been told before; a troubled teen is sent away and realises that things can actually be worseโฆ but then, somehow, get better.ย ย In this case the troubled teen is Jenny (Lily Patra), who refuses to speak since the death of her mother. Her step-father Mark (Eoin OโBrien) sends…

GHD Indie Movie Review –ย Infinitum: Subject Unknown
โ
Sometimes you find things because you go looking for them, other times you find things because you go looking for something else! What I was doing was a bio piece on the wonderful Ian McKellen and I noticed that, on his IMDb list, there was a finished film which was new to me so…

Groundhog Day Themed Film Short –ย 12:01 PM
Itโs always nice to be able to tick off a few categories in one go. Short feature – tick,ย Groundhog Dayย theme – tick, another chance to watch the awesome Kurtwood Smith – tick, tick, tick!ย ย 12:01 PMย ticks all the boxes. Wellโฆ sort of. The โsort ofโ comes from the fact thatย 12:01 PMย was made in 1990 andย Groundhog Dayย came…

Indie Documentary Review –ย Last Call: The Shutdown Of NYC Bars
โ
We all know about COVID-19. Weโve all been affected by it one way or another. Similarly, everybody has a viewpoint ranging from those informed by science and history to the bizarre and delusional. My own viewpoint was one of enforced isolation as, due to pre-existing medical conditions, I was recommended to isolate from, pretty much,…
