crime… Movie #8 2021: Blue Velvet (1986) 14 Jan 20218 Jan 2021 Well. This was a fuckin' wild ride. Blue Velvet comes from the somewhat warped yet brilliant mind of David Lynch. Yes, the guy who created cult mystery TV series Twin…
Action… Movie #6 2021: The Long Goodbye (1973) 12 Jan 20216 Jan 2021 Robert Altman is a director that has so far eluded me. Whilst his 1975 musical comedy-drama Nashville is top of my watchlist, it never seems to be available anywhere, so…
Action… Movie #3 2021: Carlito’s Way (1993) 9 Jan 20215 Jan 2021 One day, I will have watched every single Al Pacino film. There's no secret that he's one of my favourite actors of all time, and I gain yet another knot…
Drama Movie #2 2021: A Dog’s Journey (2019) 8 Jan 20214 Jan 2021 Bear with me here. Because I was pleasantly surprised by this average, low budget dog movie. Firstly, this movie is a sequel to 2017's A Dog's Purpose, which I have…
Classics… Movie #367 2020: The Personal History of David Copperfield (2019) 31 Dec 202030 Dec 2020 As we come to the end of the dreaded and not-so-fondly remembered 2020, it's really nice to see a movie that is just nice. It's polite. It's funny. And it…
Action… Movie #366 2020: Tenet (2020) 31 Dec 202030 Dec 2020 Here it is: the only blockbuster of the entire year to be released in cinemas. And what a risk that was. Although it only made a 'modest' $162 million in…
Drama… Movie #362 2020: Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008) 28 Dec 202029 Dec 2020 To begin, let it be known that this is the furthest from a 'festive movie' as you could possibly get. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is arguably more festive than this…
Action… Movie #360 2020: Speed (1994) 26 Dec 202029 Dec 2020 Well, that's Christmas over and done with. I do hope you all had a lovely day considering the circumstances. Does that mean the end of the Christmas film at The…
Comedy… Movie #356 2020: Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990) 21 Dec 202029 Dec 2020 Couldn't resist. I loved Gremlins so much that I had to watch the sequel immediately afterwards. They're infectious!... in more ways than one. As this second instalment took six years…
christmas… Movie #355 2020: Gremlins (1984) 20 Dec 202029 Dec 2020 Gremlins is a Christmas film. Sorry, that's just facts. Gizmo himself is a Christmas present from Billy's father, so put that in your pipe and smoke it. We are immersed…
