Downton Abbey – A British Perspective…Sort Of
This week sees the American release of Downton Abbey 2: A New Era (read review of the first movie here) and I’ve been asked to write about it from a British point of view. This always makes me smile as, while the UK is only the 21st most populous country in the world, there’s still…

Movie review-Love and Monsters
—
Love and Monsters is a delightful movie (Streaming on Amazon Prime Video) that is similar to Zombieland in many respects. The acting in Love and Monsters is refreshingly good, specifically by Dylan O’Brien (Maze Runner) who plays the main character Joel.

Movie Review – Firestarter
—
Luckily, I went in with really low expectations of the new Firestarter. When I found out that Blumhouse was doing it my expectations went a little higher. That was a mistake. This movie was dreadful. Epically dreadful. Zac Ephron is great at acting in certain types of movies, this wasn’t one of them. He wasn’t able…

MCU Disney+ Review – What If…?
Believe it or believe it not, the stuff that gets written here does have the semblance of a plan about it. Despite being spread half way around the world and separated by several time zones we do take the opportunity to chat whenever we can. And we do manage to talk about things other than…
