  • I have had a big turn around concerning Dial Of Destiny. I read a review yesterday that nailed all my misgivings about the film, and suddenly I don't know if I'll ever watch it again. Indy should not have been separated from Marion, and she should …
  • Master And Commander: The Far Side Of The World (2003). Today was the first time I'd seen it, it was very, very good. Epic & emotional. A level of realism rarely achieved in these kind of movies.
  • Frankenstein: The True Story (1973). Wow, I got the blu ray and was all ready for a crazy ride again after not seeing it since I was 13, but it kinda sucked. Seeing Jane Seymour in it was the only good thing here. My memory of it was so much better…

  • Give us an animated series of films and/or more novels. Deep Fake or AI will look & feel terrible. Re-casting will not go down well with us old timers. Just my opinion...
  • Just got and watched SPECTRE on 4K. Noticeable improvement over the Blu ray, but needed to push the colour on my TV up just a bit. Also, this movie is better than I remembered.

  • Watched Snowpiercer last night. I saw it when it came out on DVD, but I didn't remember much about it except that I disliked it. This time I felt like it was masterful at what it was trying to do. It had very funny dark dry humour (Tilda is a gem) a…

  • Just watched The Marvels. Much fun to be had here! Nothing particularly deep or epic, just a great girl's night out. Plus, re-watch value....

  • I just bought my favourite Craig Bond on 4K (SPECTRE). I felt the Blu ray was (more than) a bit lacking. Most of my other Bond blu rays look pretty great, so even though I don't *need* them upgraded, it'd be rather fun to get a few like GF, YOLT &am…
