March's Failures
March's failures: films I coulda woulda shoulda watched last month...
As I mentioned at the start of my March review, I’ve spent a lot of time this past month on things that aren’t films. Does that mean my pile of failures is even more shocking than normal? No, not really — I mean, it could scarcely get much bigger, could it? And I actually went to the cinema once this month too, so there’s even one less title in that paragraph than there’d normally be.
In fact,…

The Eggy Monthly Review of March 2024
The Eggy Monthly Review of March 2024. Because it's Easter weekend. That's literally the only reason for the post title.
In case you somehow missed it, it’s Easter weekend. That’s the only reason for the title. There are no eggs involved anywhere else in this post.
In terms of observations actually related to the blog, I only managed to keep one of my two main viewing goals ticking over — that is to say, I hit my “ten new films per month” target, but fell short of keeping my 100 Films Challenge on track (more…

Archive 5, Vol.10
I have a backlog of 520 unreviewed feature films from my 2018 to 2023 viewing. This is where I give those films their day, five at a time, selected by a random number generator.
Today, we’ve got quite the variety, from Oscar nominees to straightforward action entertainment; from super-timely recent documentaries to pioneering animation from almost a century ago. But they’re all connected by… the…

Archive 5, Vol.9
This week's Archive 5 are a couple of Agatha Christie adaptations from very different eras; plus a heist, a horror, and a Hong Kong love story for the ages.

February's Failures
February's failures: films I coulda woulda shoulda watched last month...
We begin this month with a vision of the future — the future being… erm, yesterday? Timelines get confusing when you’re writing about February in early March, but you’re also doing that writing before the post is posting… Anyway, what I’m getting at is, I went to see Dune: Part Two yesterday, which is a March release, but has a bearing on February’s failures insofar as it means this could be the…

The Leaping Monthly Review of February 2024
The Leaping Monthly Review of February 2024
It’s coming up to nine years since I started naming these monthly progress reports, which means this is the third leap year they’ve existed in, and yet it’s the first time I’ve thought to reference that in the name of February’s update. I don’t know if I should be ashamed of that because I didn’t do it sooner, or because it suggests I’m running out of fresh ideas. Either way, clearly it’s not…

Dune: Part One (2021)
aka Dune
Denis Villeneuve | 155 mins | cinema | 2.39:1 | USA & Canada / English | 12A / PG-13
Trying to write about a film like Dune in a critical context over two years after it was released feels a bit… pointless. I mean, the film was a hit (albeit by mid-pandemic standards); and if you did miss it first time round, the hype around the sequel has surely already piqued your interest and/or…

The Kid Detective (2020)
Remember when TV premieres used to mean something? Well, anyway, it's the UK TV premiere of THE KID DETECTIVE tonight on @Film4, so I finally reviewed it...
Evan Morgan | 96 mins | digital (HD) | 2.39:1 | Canada / English | 15 / R
Sometimes a movie (or a book, or a series, or whatever) comes along with a premise that you wonder why someone hasn’t thought of sooner (with the inevitable caveat that, sometimes, someone has and you’re just not aware of it). The Kid Detective is one of those occasions (or was for me, at any rate) — what would a ‘kid…

Dawn of the Nugget
(2023)
Sam Fell | 98 mins | digital (HD) | 2.00:1 | UK, USA & France / English | PG / PG
I wasn’t a massive fan of the original Chicken Run (it’s not bad, but it pales in comparison to some of…

Barbie (2023)
Hey, look, it's another man's thoughts on BARBIE!
Greta Gerwig | 114 mins | Blu-ray (UHD) | 2.00:1 | USA & UK / English | 12 / PG-13
Once upon a time, a movie based on a children’s toy would’ve been IP slop; or, at best, surprisingly entertaining IP slop. Heck, there are dozens of direct-to-video animated Barbie movies that prove exactly that: they look cheap; they’re there to generate money from little girls (primarily) demanding to see the…

January's Failures
January's failures: films I coulda woulda shoulda watched last month...
Let’s start this month with a double failure: having missed Poor Things at FilmBath back in October, I now haven’t seen it on its general release either. It’s still screening near me though, so there’s still a chance I’ll temporarily get over my laziness and head out to see it. Certainly, there’s not been much else on the big screen this month to tempt my out of the house. I’m certain that I’ll…

The Welcome Monthly Review of January 2024
Welcome to 2024 — almost a quarter of a century on from the millennium! Jesus. Think of all those bold predictions they had about how amazing life would be by the year 2000. Imagine what they would’ve thought another quarter-century would bring. And look at the shit we’ve actually got…
But anyway, let’s leave the depression of the wider world aside for a moment, because the new year is actually…

Archive 5, Vol.8
I have a(n insanely huge) backlog of 533 unreviewed feature films from my 2018 to 2023 viewing (not to mention the 77 shorts, but they’re a problem for another day). This is where I give those films their day, five at a time, selected by a random number generator.
Today, it’s killers galore with Korean zombies, comical hitmen, rampaging security robots, and plain ol’ murderers. Plus, dying of…

The Return of Archive 5
Archive 5, Vol.7
Hey, look what else is back! Almost a whole year on from the last instalment in the series, I’ve finally managed to rustle up a new Archive 5. Although, that previous post was also a comeback after a long time off, so I probably shouldn’t celebrate until I mange two in a row.
Being another year on, the pool of possible reviews has increased — quite significantly, as I’ve so far covered hardly…

2024 | Week 2
Hey, look, it’s an actual reviews post! Well I never! Wonders will never cease! Etc.
Yeah — I thought, “new year, new start”, and so here I am with short reviews of the first three films I watched in 2024. I was going to call this “Weeks 1–2”, even though they’re all from Week 2, because beginning the year with a post titled “Week 2” just felt wrong. But then I figured I’d begun the year already…

What Do You Mean You Haven’t Seen All of the IMDb Top 250?
Finishing off (maybe) one of the most famous film lists on the internet...
Ever since I began my 100 Films in a Year Challenge all the way back in 2007, I’ve kept track of my progress in completing one of the best-known “best of” lists on the internet: the IMDb Top 250. At first, I just noted how many I’d seen from the list as it stood at the end of December (21 in my first year, for example). Later, I began to monitor how many that meant I had left (I first noted in…

Blindspot 2024
My Blindspot selections for 2024...
This is my 12th year doing a version of Blindspot, so I’m not sure my customary introduction to the concept is still necessary. But just in case: this is a challenge in which you pick 12 films you’ve never seen but should have (your blindspots) and watch them one per month over the next year. It’s a great way of ensuring you watch films that you might otherwise not get round to. Or intending to…
