It’s unsure whether it was chance, timing, or simply fate that made the Justin Chadwick movie come out so shortly after Nelson Mandela’s death. What’s certain though, is that it couldn’t have happened at a better time. Those who wished to celebrate his life could do so; and those who didn’t know anything about him … Continue reading

Saving Mr Banks
Hailed as the next big thing, with lead actors already poised for the actors, Saving Mr Banks is indeed a force to be reckoned with. Telling the story behind one of the favourite Disney movies of all times, the story takes us to 1961 London, where author P.L. Travers (Emma Thompson) is bullied by her … Continue reading
Thor: The Dark World
After a meh introduction in the first Thor movie, and a decent appearance in Avengers Assemble, every woman’s favourite God makes his return to our big screens in his latest blockbuster: Thor: The Dark World. Funnier than the first one, largely dependent on what happened in the Avengers universe (and also creating enough material for … Continue reading

Well once I did the first part, I realised there’s an awful lot of movies I own that no one’s ever heard of. Many, and that’s a fair point, because they were made before we were born, or before people started caring for movies. Others simply because they came out and somehow disappeared behind the … Continue reading
The Most Underrated Films You Need To Watch (part 1)
If, like me, you possess an extensive movie library, you will know that some of your favourite movies are completely unknown to everyone else. And it bugs the hell out of you, that a movie you’ve seen twenty five billion times doesn’t even stir a “oh I think I’ve seen the trailer” recognition moment. So … Continue reading
Live Long And Prosper
For those of you who are hardcore Trekkies, be warned: I’m not. I’ve never watched the show and I don’t know any Klingon. BUT, I do appreciate a good sci-fi flick when it’s out and the two Star Trek movies are at least that. Plus they have Chris Pine. I really enjoyed the first Star … Continue reading
Long Live The Tudors!
Well yes, my title is a bold statement. Then again, the Tudor dynasty is one that has remained on everyone’s mind for a long time through stories, novels, movies, TV shows and a constant stream of Tudor events happening at the historic royal palaces. Of course, there weren’t that many Tudors, but they have had … Continue reading
The Host (movie)
Well the release came and I waited for the hordes of screaming teenagers to subside before going to see the movie- hold on. Oh yeah, there were no hordes of screaming teenagers. Well, this should have made me happy, I mean the book was written for (young) adults so the whole Twilight fan sphere was … Continue reading
