Read MoreReview: Nitram – “An uncomfortable watch but an essential one”
Despite the legitimate controversy that surrounded Nitram’s release in its homeland down under back in September, the latest horrifying American mass shooting that took place at Robb elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, just over a month ago, makes the film’s release in the UK eerily poignant and heart-breaking in its timeliness. Australian filmmaker Justin Kurzel (Snowtown, Macbeth, True history of the...

Read MoreBond Blog: For Your Eyes Only – A James Bond Retrospective
For Your Eyes Only was the first James Bond movie I saw at the cinema. I was probably nine. It was the Astra Cinema in Barrow-in-Furness, and I was there with friends rather than with my family. Perhaps, my brother’s friends and my brother, who is two years older than me. We got to the start of the movie, with the helicopter and the projector broke down. I had been so excited and here we were...

Read MoreBlu-ray Review: The Untouchables 4K UHD™ + Blu-ray™ Special Collector’s Edition SteelBook – “A truly stunning piece of cinema”
“What are you prepared to do?” First of all, I was ready to give the new 35th Anniversary of Brian De Palma’s The Untouchables a watch and I was so glad I did.

Read MoreElvis is Baz Luhrmann’s rhinestoned homage to JFK. This is breath-taking cinema.
The dictionary definition of Icon reads: “A person regarded as a representative symbol or as worthy of veneration.” Of course, veneration comes at a price. Hollywood will feast on an icon’s carcass for as long as it can. Hollywood has fixed its beady gaze on Elvis Presley. Luckily, Presley’s story hasn’t yet been adapted out of all recognition. The star’s life is often...
