Dagr – What You Need To Know
In the middle of last year I wrote about getting the opportunity to contribute, in a small way, with Matthew and Tori Butler-Hart’s latest project…Dagr. Well, just this week I had an email from Matthew which had some great news…there will be a UK limited cinema release next month followed by a digital release in…

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…

Welcome To January…The Dump Month?
—
Ah January. The start of a new year. Fresh starts, new beginnings, and resolutions that can last as long as a week. Everything is all hunky dory and sparkly bright. That is, until you realise that one of the alternative names for January, in the film industry at least, is the Dump Month. The thinking…

Christmas TV Movie Review – Christmas Carole
—
It seems a bit obvious but, just in case you didn’t get here via the Scrooge/Christmas Carol hub, this is a modern day reinterpretation of A Christmas Carol. Christmas Carole sets the story in the present day with Scrooge being replaced by the eponymous Christmas Carole MacKay (Suranne Jones). The rest of the story is,…

Roald Dahl has proven to be a rich source of stories for film makers: The BFG, Charlie And The Chocolate Factory, Fantastic Mr Fox, Matilda, and The Witches are all Dahl stories that have been filmed during this millennium. Indeed, four of those five titles have been filmed more than once. It can’t be denied…

Rewatch Review – Calendar Girls
During this autumn I’ve had the pleasure of hosting RunPee Jilly. She had had enough of sunny San Diego and came to stay in wet and windy Wallasey for a bit. This time of year, we’re only allowed forty two minutes of sunshine a day so, as you might guess, we’ve spent a lot of…

Captain America: Brave New World – What You Need To Know
—
Ah, yes…Captain America. I don’t pretend to know all the mythology as laid down in the comic books due to never having read them! All I know is what I’ve seen on various screens large and small. Also, the plot is seriously under wraps; I’m guessing that means no part for Tom Holland then! Also,…

Reacher: Season 2 – What You Need To Know
—
I said elsewhere how much I enjoyed the Jack Reacher series whether it was on the page, the cinema screen, or on the TV. So it should come as no surprise to anyone that I am chuffed to bits that the second season has actually started filming. Who is Reacher? Jack Reacher was a major…

Deadpool 3 – What You Need To Know
—
Deadpool is one of those areas of the greater Marvel Universe which is a blank to me. I’ve said elsewhere that I preferred Marvel comics over the DC ones. However, I stopped reading comics of any flavour back in the early seventies. As a result, I’d never heard of Deadpool before the film came out.…
