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…

Movie review-The Eternals
The TL;DR review: Not the MCU’s best work. In my book, The Eternals falls in the bottom third of MCU movies. What I liked Overall, really good acting by the entire cast. I especially liked the nuance Angelina Jolie and Richard Madden gave to their characters. They did a great job with expressions. Jolie has…

The app that tells you the best time to run and pee during a movie without missing the best scenes. DUNE I’ve read the Dune series more times than I remember.

No Time To Die Again: Views Following A Bond 25 Re-Watch
Elsewhere there are my initial thoughts on No Time To Die as well as Dan’s first impressions. Maybe because we had slightly different views on Daniel Craig’s final outing as Bond I thought I’d go back and take another look. This wasn’t a hardship to me in the slightest; I knew it would be a…

The Giant James Bond Rewatch – Climax! Casino Royale (1954)
During the course of doing my bit of the Giant James Bond Rewatch, there were references to Climax! Casino Royale which is the very first screen outing for Bond; an episode of Climax! from 1954, less than three years after the novel was written. Seeing as how it was a television episode from the other…

No Time To Die ends with an exclamation point but is filled with question marks
—
Let me say up front that I really enjoyed No Time To Die. At least, I loved parts of it; the most important part: Bond. I want to make that clear because what’s going to follow will make it seem otherwise. I’d recommend to anyone who likes action movies that No Time To Die is a…

The Giant James Bond Rewatch – The World Is Not Enough (1999)
The World Is Not Enough was one of my first choices when we were going through the exercise of divvying up the Bond films for one main reason… Robert Carlyle. The first time I saw him was in Priest back at the end of the last millennium. At the time, the big draw was Linus Roache in…
