Movie Review – Studio 666
—
I didn’t like it, a lot. To be fair, I’m not the target audience, by a long shot. I don’t like horror movies and before the movie I couldn’t name a single song by the Foo Fighters. Come to think of it, I still can’t. Just because I gave the movie a D/WTF doesn’t mean…

Movie Review – Bigbug (2022)
—
I’ve never hidden the fact that I like modern French cinema. Luc Besson has made at least three of my all time top twenty favourite films. Another director with three in my twenty was Jean-Pierre Jeunet. I say “was” because Bigbug has joined the others to give him four. His previous three entries in my…

Movie Review – Cyrano
—
Peter Dinklage was masterful in expressing the hidden emotions of Cyrano de Bergerac. Cyrano is one of the more difficult characters to perform because he needs to say and express one thing to the characters in the movie, notably Roxanne, while simultaneously expressing to the audience his deep pain and longing for Roxanne. I can’t…

Jack Reacher History – The Short And The Tall Of It
1997 saw the publication of The Killing Floor by Lee Child. It did quite well; it was nominated for five awards and won three. It started a series of twenty-six novels, so far, and around twenty novellas and short stories. To date, Lee Child has sold over a hundred million copies of his Jack…

Indie Movie Review – Caveat (2020)
—
Anybody who’s seen many of my reviews will know by now that horror films are not my most favourite of genres. The jump cuts and use of mood music do little for me and I don’t subscribe to the religious and supernatural mythology that underlie the reasons why things are supposed to be scary. However,…

Is there anything extra during the end credits of Uncharted?
—
There are extras after 2 minutes of the title credits in Uncharted. Ths is a must-see extra scene. You can leave after that. The credits run for approximately 8 minutes.

Movie Review – Uncharted
—
Cute, cute, cute. Stir together several heapings of The Goonies, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Raiders of the Lost Ark, fold in Tom Holland’s Spidey-like chattiness, and Uncharted is a tasty treat hitting the theaters right now. Indiana Jones is personally name-dropped, because, how could it NOT be, when the leads are crawling around ancient…

Themes On A Christmas Carol – Blackadder’s Christmas Carol (1988)
I know that a lot of people outside of the UK only think of Mr Bean when they hear of Rowan Atkinson but, trust me, he is far funnier than that character. As has been alluded to many times, I am getting on a bit and can remember him in Not The Nine O’Clock News…

Indie Movie Review – Echoes Of The Past (2021)
—
Let me get something straight right from the start. Echoes Of The Past was quite hard work. Not because it was badly made or acted but because it was based on a true story that was one of the most appalling examples of humanity or, more accurately, the lack of it: The Kalavryta Massacre (Σφαγή…
