Is there anything extra during the end credits of Spider-Man: No Way Home?
There are extras during the end credits of Spider-Man: No Way Home. There are two extra scenes. The first begins about 2 1/2 minutes into the credits and lasts about 1 1/2 minutes. There’s a 7-minute wait until the second extra scene comes after the end credits. It’s honestly not an extra scene but more of…

Movie Review – Spider-Man: No Way Home
—
When I read about the multiverse plot for Spider-Man: No Way Home I thought it would either be awesome, or horrible. I was hugely relieved to see that they landed closer to the side of awesome. The writers—Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers—both wrote the previous two Spider-Man movies together, so fortunately No Way Home maintains the…

Christmas Classic Rewatch Review – Scrooge (1951)
Elsewhere I wrote about how and why A Christmas Carol was written and how it’s been adapted many times on screens both large and small. It’s the most often adapted of all of Dickens’ works, with over thirty film outings. Oliver Twist comes second with a mere eighteen. It’s been faithfully followed from the original,…

Documentary Review – The Beatles: Get Back
The Beatles: Get Back is, quite simply, the edited highlights of The Beatles rehearsing for a new project centred on their latest album. After a disastrous tour of the Far East in 1966 and the infamous “we’re bigger than Jesus” kerfuffle they decided to give up touring and performing live. This leads to them developing…

Christmas Documentary Review – ’Twas The Fight Before Christmas (2021)
—
’Twas The Fight Before Christmas (2021) from Apple TV+ is another of those films that emphasises the difference between the USA and the UK. Over here we’re only vaguely religious in the main. By that I mean that when you go into hospital they always ask your religion. The majority will say C of E…

You Can See My House From Here…Wirral and the UK in Film
There are times when you’re watching a film and you pause a second and think, “that place looks familiar,” and there’s usually a reason for that. The most obvious one is that it is somewhere well known and you are meant to know where the action is taking place. If we’re in Paris, the Eiffel…

Movie Review – West Side Story
I love West Side Story, even though it’s a sad, “bring tissues” type movie. My love, however, seems restricted to the 1961 West Side Story movie, and the play. While I haven’t seen this on Broadway (and there’s a sly nod to Broadway in the first three minutes of the 2021 film — did you…

Non-Christmas Christmas Movies – Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
—
It seems odd, looking back on Kiss Kiss Bang Bang from this side of the first three phases of the Marvel Cinematic Universe — that it was touch and go whether or not Robert Downey Jr would get the lead role of Harry Lockhart. At the time, RDJ was considered to be quite toxic Robert…
