    I feel guilty that I'm not reading them quickly enough and yet they still keep multiplying.

    Secret Unlimited Screening 12 – Crawl

    30/07/2019 / 0 Comments

    I’m not sure if you know the drill about what happens at a Cineworld Unlimited Secret Screening.  Those of us who have unlimited passes can book screenings for unreleased films.  Most of which are announced and I try and get to as many of them as possible as usually, the films are fine; there is the odd dud but its a great way to get me to see something outside of my usual milieux. The secret screenings are mostly the same.  It’s just you don’t know what you will end up seeing. This can work to your advantage or not. Generally, I like the surprise – but it helps to…

    Ragged Alice Review

    25/07/2019 / 0 Comments

    Gareth L Powell officially the nicest man on twitter and award winning sci fi author has turned his considerable skills to crime in this wonderful novella. Set in the small welsh town of Pontyrhudd DCI Holly Craig returns to her home town to investigate a murder. Things quickly unravel as a spate of murders threaten to ruin her career but all is not as it seems as the murderer seems to be copying a murder from decades earlier. Ragged Alice is fab.  I love Holly Craig she’s a damaged-yet-brilliant detective with an ability to see someone’s soul and ascertain whether they are lying. How she came by this ability is…

    The Lion King 2019

    24/07/2019 / 0 Comments

    One of my favourite Disney movies is the Lion King. I watched the original to death as a teenager and the music – all of the music – just feels wonderful. When I heard they were doing a ‘live action’ remake I was dubious. For a start its not live action its naturalistic CGI and that is not quite the same thing at all. But the casting sounded amazing, Donald Glover, Queen Bey, Jon Oliver as Zazu I was suddenly on board. The trailer when it was released pretty much gave me shivers.  It was a shot for shot remake of the animated and then all worries were set aside,…

    In the last week I’ve been to see: Blinded by the Light – a lovely coming of age story about a boy of Pakistani heritage finding his place in the world via the music of Bruce Springsteen.  There are moments that feel like gut punches. The use of Springsteen’s music juxtaposed with Javed’s own turmoil.  His desperation of getting out of Luton, the pressure to conform to family expectations.  The reality of what Margaret Thatcher did to people in the 80s and how the music of a guy from New Jersey resonated with Javed and Roops.  This film also contained Hayley Atwell as the English Teacher I would have killed…
