Miracle On 34th Street – 1947 vs 1994

December 4, 2020

A good story bears repeating. At least that’s the impression you get if you look into your average film studio’s output. Who knows… maybe there’s a future article in that? Anyhow, as it’s rapidly approaching Christmas, I thought I’d take a look at one of my favourite Christmas stories — and two films — I’m […]

Die Hard and Beyond: Are They Really Christmas Films?

December 1, 2020

There are films that are obviously Christmas films; they only make sense because they’re set at Christmas; it only feels right to watch them at Christmas; they belong to Christmas.

First View Movie Review – Murder on the Orient Express (No Spoilers)

November 7, 2020

I very much enjoyed 2017’s Murder on the Orient Express. As an avid mystery book reader, I’d heard of the 1934 novel in question, of the writer Agatha Christie, and even knew bits and pieces about her recurring eccentric detective Hercule Poirot.

Hobbitses – A Tolkien history – Behind the Lord of the Rings in epic fantasy films

September 27, 2020

Typical! Wait decades for a film with hobbits in, and six come along at the same time! At least, that’s how it felt. Like many teens of the time, I had my copy of the single volume paperback edition of The Lord Of The Rings, shortly after it was first published in 1968, having […]

5 Older Movies We’d Love Remakes Of (And 5 That Are Perfect)

May 24, 2020

It is a truth universally acknowledged: a single movie in possession of a large following must be in want of a remake. At least, that’s how Hollywood executives seem to see things! Love ‘em or hate ‘em, the real truth is that remakes aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. And that’s even understandable, to some extent. […]

But even the Bond “parody” movies do a great job with opening theme songs — both funny and somehow still sounding Bondian. Here are our top three songs from the Bond parody genre. Bond […]

Top 12 James Bond Songs

February 15, 2020

Of course, listing all the BEST James Bond theme songs will be both 1. difficult and 2. subjective. By which I mean there are so very many great Bond theme songs that all manage a Bondian flair… and my own opinion won’t be the same as yours. Hopefully my choices will make your top ten […]
