First Watch Film Review – Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind
Is Eternal Sunshine a Groundhog Day Loop film? Let’s explore! Here we go with another film that, for some unknown reason, I’ve never seen and am not sure why. At least this one’s relatively recent; I still haven’t seen Citizen Kane or The Sound Of Music! Could it have been the sub-par cast? Nope! Any film with…

Documentary Review – Bruce Springsteen’s Letter To You
—
Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band have been together since October 1972; pretty much continuously and pretty much unchanged.

Indie Movie Review – Paintball Massacre
—
Paintball Massacre begins with Lee Latchford-Evans standing on a bridge overlooking a railway line while we hear a train approaching.

Indie Movie Review – Bright Hill Road
Bright Hill Road is one of those interesting but unsettling films that make you wonder exactly what you’re watching and what you’re in for.

Indie Movie Review – Return To Splatter Farm
Return To Splatter Farm is listed on IMDb as a Horror/Thriller. That worries me a bit, as that indicates that the humour wasn’t intentional. I don’t have the benefit of having seen the original to know whether this is intentional or not but, as is well-known, I’m a bit of a grading softy, so I’ll…

Indie Movie Review – Agent Revelation
Agent Revelation or Agent I — they don’t seem to have settled on a title for it yet, is a sci-fi, action thriller. One of the things it has going for it is a big name. To be honest, in the world of sci-fi, action thrillers it has a BIG name on board… Michael Dorn! Hell’s…

Indie Movie Review – Happy Face
Happy Face is an awesome film. I just had to get that off my chest right from the get go. It’s not a laugh a minute rib tickler, it’s not an edge of the seat thriller, and it’s not a mind bending thought provoker. It’s a drama about the lives of a group of people…

New Years Movie Rewatch Review – Bridget Jones’s Diary
Back in the mid to late nineties there was a publishing phenomenon… Helen Fielding had written a faux diary about a thirty-something singleton called Bridget Jones. Bridget Jones’s Diary went on to become what The Guardian named as one of the ten novels that best defined the 20th century. Inevitably, it was snapped up to become the…
