What do you buy a millionaire for Christmas? Someone who has everything already? Not an easy task. And what kind of film do you make for nerds? I mean, no offence, but your average comic-con nerd prides themselves, almost to a snobbish level, in knowing a gamut of knowledge about almost any cult subject. They Click here to read more…

Word on the street has always been the mainstay of many a movie’s success. Lately social media has played a part helping many a film and tv programmes too. Then fake media came along and people grew sceptical again. Good. A little scepticism is a healthy thing, so says FilmFridays. This movie has been hailed Click here to read more…
Back in 1977 when the first Star Wars film came out they were showing it at the Ruislip Embassy, now a McDonalds. It was a one screen cinema, with tatty old theatre seating plus an upstairs section for an additional price.

Ok so forget Halloween’s 2-5, The Curse Of Michael Myers, H2O, Resurrection and the two Rob Zombie versions. This one is the real, actual, genuine sequel. Of course timed to coincide with the original’s 40th anniversary and therefore the 50th anniversary of original slaughter of his sister. Who’s sister? Why the infamous Michael Myers (of Click here to read more…
In a post apocalyptic world, a family is forced to live in total silence to hide from monsters with ultra sensitive hearing. It’s ok for one of them who is already deaf but not so much for their youngest who, as a demonstration of how dangerous this world is, gets eaten in the first 5 Click here to read more…
I’ve always been a bit of an astronut and so it was a no brainer to check out the film that is one of this years Academy contenders. Based on a true story, Hidden Figures tells the story of three scientists – Katherine Johnson (Taraji P Henson), Dorothy Vaughn (Octavia Spencer) and Mary Jackson (Janelle Click here to read more…

Ever since Metropolis, a great Hollywood mainstay has been aliens from another planet. There are films like ET, Men In Black or Super8 that see it naively with a child’s perspective. There are the sinister visitations such as Independence Day or War Of The Worlds which have a more apocalyptic, threatening feel. And there are Click here to read more…

Yes, it’s been more than a while since the last film review. I haven’t been to the cinema since the new Star Wars last December. So I was hoping for a treat when I booked to see the new Jason Bourne film titled…”Jason Bourne” After the Bourne trilogy, Damon famously stated he would not return Click here to read more…

Anyone who is old enough to remember life before the internet can probably remember a time when James Bond films were fairly formulaic (as I explained in my review of Skyfall) But of late, the movies have matured and become more complex, leaving some pining for the good old days.

I can’t believe it was just over 3 years ago when I reviewed the first Inbetweeners movie. It appeared to be a suitable finale to what was a very popular TV series on UK’s Channel 4. And the film had been a huge success. Then there was rumour and speculation – there was going to Click here to read more…
