Christmas Movie Review – Guardians Of The Galaxy: Holiday Special
This may be a bit late. It was released back in November 2022 but, somehow, we never reviewed it! Now, with all the Guardians Of The Galaxy: Vol 3 kerfuffle. I thought I should take another look and write a few words about it. OK, I know it is a Christmas special but May isn’t…

Movie Review – Guardians Of The Galaxy: Volume 3
I’ve said elsewhere that I was a little late coming to the Guardians Of The Galaxy party. At first I wasn’t a fan but when a pre-Avengers: Endgame rewatch required seeing it again I was won over.

Movie Review – Ghosted
Apple TV+’s latest offering is, apparently, something of a record breaker. The first two days saw 328,500 people watching Ghosted. Obviously that’s chicken feed compared to something like Avengers: Endgame but in the world of non-theatrical releases it is, apparently, quite a big deal. That’s way more than the first two days of other highly…

Iron Man – 15th Anniversary Rewatch Review
Yet again another reminder that, to quote Andrew Marvell, “But at my back I always hear, Time’s wingèd chariot hurrying near”. I was sitting with my grandson, Theo, and he had put on “an old film” which he quite liked. He’s only four and a half so his idea of what is “old” is somewhat…

Movie Review – Tetris
I have to admit that when I heard that there was a film based on the Tetris game in the pipeline my heart sank just a little. After all, I remember the farce that was Super Mario Bros and Street Fighter. I couldn’t begin to imagine what the narrative would be but I did have…

Nobody doubts the effect that the MCU had on the world of blockbuster films. Especially the superhero/comic book/fantasy sub-genre. What was not quite so expected was the studio’s breakthrough into TV. With the assistance of the newly launched Disney+ service, the MCU had a conduit to the home based, TV watching audience. Well, I say…

in Bond 007It’s 2033 and the argument/debate/wrangling/discussions/squabbling over who is going to be the next James Bond still haven’t been resolved. “We have to make sure that we get the right person for this most iconic of roles” has become something of a mantra being heard chanted with the offices of Eon Productions. Personally, I am of…
