30th Birthday Rewatch – Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves (1991)
—
As an Englishman, you might think that I’d have the story of Robin Hood engraved upon my heart. The sad fact is that, while I can vaguely remember some details of the history of England going back to the Roman Invasion of 55BC led by Gaius Julius Caesar, I don’t remember any facts about Robin…

Disabled and dying children, but still important. Modern movies like Sea…

Movie Review – The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard
If the plot for Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard were a character, it would have been shot in the head and buried in lava within the first 5 minutes. Not only is the plot bad, as the movie goes on it becomes clear that it was bad on purpose, as evidence of a heavy-handed, early 007 approach…
