Independent Film Review – Bolan’s Shoes
—
I find that films make more of a connection when there is something to connect them to you. I know that sounds laughably trite and obvious but bear with me. If you see a film and it is set in a place that you know very well you will probably feel close to it. It…

Theatre Review – Murder In The Dark
I feel that I need to make a public apology to Susie Blake. I fell in love with her when she was the waspish, right wing continuity announcer on Victoria Wood: As Seen On TV. She was delightfully acidic, spoke with a cut glass, RP accent, and was hilariously funny. If you take a look…

Classic Movie Review – Citizen Kane
—
Given that I list films and the cinema as one of my major passions it is a bit of a mystery why there are some films that I haven’t seen. I don’t mean obscure, arty films that no one has seen, I mean ones that regularly turn up on those lists of best films of…

Independent Film Review – Frankenstein: Legacy
—
I’m sure there must be a term for a story that is an extension of an earlier story. Extended narrative perhaps? Whatever…I’m sure someone could tell me in the comments. Anyway, Frankenstein: Legacy is set in a shared universe with the original Mary Shelley novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus. Basically, it takes up the…

RunPee Dune Hub

—
About a month ago my wife and I went to see, I think, The Beekeeper as a mystery screening. While we were waiting for it to start we saw a trailer for an upcoming British comedy called Wicked Little Letters. Now I know that trailers are designed to make you want to hand over your…

Indie Movie Review – Fortunes Of War
—
Just like the public transport system, you can wait ages for a World War Two based action film and then, before you know it, two come along at once. Last month I got to see War Blade which had a small group of soldiers aided by some resistance fighters attacking a Nazi bunker. This month…
