Tim Burton’s Sleepy Hollow (1999). My first time rewatching this one since 2022 (not coincidentally, also on Halloween). One of Tim Burton’s best efforts, for my money, and there’s a good case to be made it’s his best-looking too, thanks to th…

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974). Incredibly gripping, shocking, visceral stuff. Had me hooked from the first minute (pun intended). I’m ashamed to admit it’s a first-time watch, because it’s clearly something I should’ve checked out a long time …

Paul Thomas Anderson’s latest, One Battle After Another. Might be my favourite film of 2025. 162 minutes that just flew by with nary a drag. Terrific performances all-around. A lot of lines and scenes that had myself and the rest of the audience …

Something I just remembered about Knight is that he recently built a new studio in Birmingham (it’s where the Peaky Blinders film was shot). Doubt his writing the new Bond film will mean it’ll shoot there, but if they can’t do everything at Pinewood…

Given it’s World of Reel reporting Kuritzkes is on the shortlist, perhaps a grain of salt should be taken with it, but to give my own opinion he’s not a choice I disapprove of and am definitely curious about. Also worth noting he’s worked with bo…

Given that Villeneuve is opting for a new cinematographer for Dune: Messiah to give it a new look (and so Fraser can do The Batman Part II), it wouldn’t shock me if he decides to work with a new cinematographer for Bond as well for the same reason i…

High Sierra (1941). I’m a sucker for noir and for Humphrey Bogart, so naturally this has been on my list for years, and it didn’t disappoint. Bogart is, of course, magnetic, delivering toughness and poignancy with little effort, and backed by the lo…

Don’t think I’ve seen Pierre in anything at all, though given what everyone’s been saying about Rebel Ridge perhaps I ought to check it out. I doubt the three names listed by Variety are the only actors in contention (if it has credibility, and i…
