Non-Christmas Christmas Movies – First View Review of First Blood
Whenever you hear of a film with Rambo in the title, youโll no doubt think of wall to wall violence, tidal waves of blood, and a soundtrack consisting mainly of gunshots, screams, and explosions. You may also think of bulging biceps as Rambo hauls back on the string of a bow so he can pick…

Christmas Classic First View Review – A Christmas Carol (1938)
Over the years Iโve seen a fair few versions of A Christmas Carol, or Scrooge as itโs sometimes called, but this 1938 version is a new one on me! Thereโs no point going too deeply into the story because, as both Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes and Simply Red said, โIf you don’t know…

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…

Thoughts on Monster Universe Rewatch before Godzilla vs Kong
I did a rewatch of Godzilla 2014, Kong: Skull Island, and Godzilla: King of the Monsters in preparation for the release of Godzilla vs King Kong this week (March 31st) in theaters and on HBO Max. Godzilla 2014 When Godzilla came out in 2014 I gave it a C. It was enjoyable, but lacking. Upon…

GHD Indie Movie Review –ย The Endless
So where do I begin withย The Endless? It only just squeaks in as a Groundhog Day type film. Not because there isnโt a time loop, more likely because there isnโt just the one. There seem to be dozens of them. Some only seem to last seconds, whereas others last longer. There is a consistency regarding…

GHD Indie Movie Review –ย Blood Punch
โ
Blood Punch is an unusual little film. It starts off with our hero, Milton (Milo Cawthorne) waking up in a wilderness lodge on Tuesday. His first action is to run and throw up in a toilet. While heโs there he finds a screen, a load of wires, and a few other bits and pieces in…

First View Movie Review –ย Triangle (Groundhogs Day… at sea)
โ
Itโs funny how some films never get a chance because of a bit of marketing that doesnโt quite hit the spot, and so you just donโt bother looking past the poster. Thatโs what happened with me and 2009’s Triangle. The poster in question shows a blonde woman wearing a blood smeared top, holding an axe…

First Watch Film Review – Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind
Is Eternal Sunshine a Groundhog Day Loop film? Let’s explore! Here we go with another film that, for some unknown reason, Iโve never seen and am not sure why. At least this oneโs relatively recent; I still havenโt seenย Citizen Kaneย orย The Sound Of Music! Could it have been the sub-par cast? Nope! Any film with…

New Years Eve First View Movie Review: Four Rooms
Thereโs no mistakingย Four Rooms for anything other than a New Year filmโฆ it actually starts to the strains of Auld Lang Syne! Basically, Four Rooms is a quartet of stories set in the Hotel Mon Signor on New Years Eve. Each segment is directed by a different director with a, mainly, different cast. Running through…

First View Movie Review – The Muppet Christmas Carol
Maybe itโs a generational thing. I was starting college for the first time whenย The Muppet Showย was first aired. Iโve never seen Sesame Street. Well, not more than the odd clip on TV; enough to be aware of some of the history of the beasts. Throw into the mix the absence of children to have to…
