Blade Runner 2049โrewatch review
โ
I rewatched Blade Runner 2049. It is a masterful, though sometimes flawed, movie. Let’s save the discussion of the plot flaws for another day. What I’m interested in is what makes Denis Villeneuve stand apart from so many other directors. I think it’s pretty simple: he lets actors act. Some might scoff at that comment,…

50th Anniversary Rewatch Review – The Wicker Man
โ
Well, weโre into December and it seems appropriate that a religious film should be being watched. But, before we grab our hymn books and rosary beads, we need to remember that, as Hamlet said, โThere are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.โ The religion practised on Summerisle…

Jurassic Park 30th Anniversary Screening
I really do enjoy this new thing of showing classic films in the cinema. Over the last few years Iโve seen Die Hard, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Superman, Cabaret, and others. Not to mention the annual Christmas Eve showing of Itโs A Wonderful Life. Sometimes it brings back memories of seeing films when they first…

Superman: The Movie – 45th Anniversary Rewatch
โ
Forty five years!!! One of the things about getting older is that there are so many anniversaries that keep popping up. Only last week one of my FaceBook memories was a posting I made about it being the 40th anniversary of the release of Elton Johnโs Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. I remembered that being released!…

Thirty Years Just Flies By – Strictly Ballroom – A Rewatch Review
โ
On 10th May 1992 a film was premiered at the Cannes Film Festival and received a fifteen minute standing ovation. Then an agent from the Rank Organisation dashed in to snap up the UK film rights. It was the debut feature from a young Australian auteur who would go on to win awards for theatre,…

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…

Classic Christmas Rewatch – Home Alone (1990)
So I’ve been thinking about my favorite Christmas movie category – the ones I call Non-Christmas Christmas Films. This fun category includes such classics as Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, and Gremlins. Iron Man 3. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. I have a useful list going here. But in that post, I ask if Home Alone deserves…

Movie Rewatch:ย Austin Powers 3 – Goldmember
โ
Just as it took less than a hundred years to go from the first powered flight to flying being an everyday method of commuting like the bus or a train, I wonder if weโll ever see the day when time travel goes from being the latest technological miracle to something we use to fix trivial…

No Time To Die Again: Views Following A Bond 25 Re-Watch
Elsewhere there are my initial thoughts on No Time To Die as well as Danโs first impressions. Maybe because we had slightly different views on Daniel Craigโs final outing as Bond I thought Iโd go back and take another look. This wasnโt a hardship to me in the slightest; I knew it would be a…
