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
I’m probably not the right person to write this. No…I’m definitely not the right person to write this! You’d be much better informed if Dan or Jilly had written an introduction to this Dune mini-hub. Perhaps they’ll write something better and just get rid of my nonsense. You see, the problem is that I have…

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…

Indie Movie Review – Midnight Peepshow
—
I’ll admit it…I’m of an age that I can remember life before the internet. My first tentative steps into the mysteries of the cyber world were back in the early eighties on something called JANET or the Joint Academic Network. I remember when I left London to start lecturing in Manchester. As I was saying…

Independent Film Review – Dagr
—
Some years ago, I was given one of those posters with a hundred must see films on it. Each film was covered with that scratch off stuff and the idea was that you scraped off the coverings of all the films you’d seen. It was delightful the way that Dagr threw in so many references…

Indie Movie Review – The Island
—
I have to admit that I was totally unaware of Michael Jai White before I saw The Island. I didn’t know that he was a multiple black belt in a variety of martial arts. I didn’t know that he had over 120 acting credits even though I had actually seen several of his appearances. I…
