Independent Film Review – Bolan’s Shoes
โ
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…

Movie Review – Wicked Little Letters
โ
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
โ
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…

Independent Film Review – Dagr
โ
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 youโd seen. It was delightful the way that Dagr threw in so many references…

Indie Movie Review – Punch
โ
The great British seaside holiday started in the 18th century when the wealthy and well connected decided that โtaking the watersโ in spa towns such as Bath, Buxton, and Knaresborough was getting too boring and decided to move to the coast. Scarborough, on the Yorkshire coast, already had an inland spa and so was ideally…

Movie Review – The Miracle Club
โ
Two weeks running I have got to see a new film with some old, established faces. Not specifically old as in of advanced years, more a question of having a vast and venerable body of work behind them. Last week it was Michael Caine and Glenda Jackson in The Great Escaper. This week it was…

Movie Review – The Great Escaper
This was one of those films that I went to see with my wife. We had a nice lunch and went for an afternoon showing. Before going we had imagined it was going to be along the same lines as The Last Bus or The Unlikely Pilgrimage Of Harold Fry. To be honest, I had…

Documentary Review – Squaring The Circle
โ
I suppose you have to be of a certain type. You have to be of a certain age, a certain background, and have certain tastes. I saw that there was aย showing of a documentary called Squaring The Circle (The Story of Hipgnosis) and immediately thought โOoohโฆthat sounds interesting!โ I mentioned it to my long…

Movie Review – The Unlikely Pilgrimage Of Harold Fry
Wellโฆgood news, bad news! The bad news is that, due to technical problems which I have to sort out before Guardians Of The Galaxy: Vol 3 comes out next week, I couldnโt actually sort out Peetimes for The Unlikely Pilgrimage Of Harold Fry. The good news is that it is, pretty much, the first film…

Christmas TV Movie Review – Christmas Carole
โ
It seems a bit obvious but, just in case you didnโt get here via the Scrooge/Christmas Carol hub, this is a modern day reinterpretation of A Christmas Carol. Christmas Carole sets the story in the present day with Scrooge being replaced by the eponymous Christmas Carole MacKay (Suranne Jones).ย The rest of the story is,…
