It constantly feels like I’m a million weeks behind, but then I check out how many movies I’ve seen and the numbers are dismayingly small. Fact: it’s been less than 0.5 movies/day this year, which is a record low. Fact: there’s no obvious reason for it. Fact: what am I doing writing this in the… Read more

As this week will most likely have a negligible amount of film in it, I dare doing another split. I’ve kept traveling, so that’s my excuse, but there’s still been time for a couple of notches on the old cinematic belt. Movie of the Week The Big Sick (2017) It was a Monday An (2015): On… Read more

My long holiday has lead to this reviews penury, but I’m back in the saddle, being dragged by a loose wild horse. Which, I guess, I’ve been doing for over 3000 movies now. Yay! I haven’t spent too much time watching stuff, but you’ll still find a few worthwhile mentions in this summary. Movie of… Read more

I knew the day would come for me to squeeze in two weeks in one without writing excessively. Well, here it is. The day.

And it is a shame indeed, because a lot of the stuff was talk-worthy, even watch-worthy, but now they’ll seep through the cracks of overpopulation. So I’ll just split the last two weeks… Read more

Most of my movie-watching time this week was spent with a new series: GLOW. I can only assume the pitch for the show went something like this: Creator: I have this brilliant idea for a new show. Producer: Tell me. Creator: Think of Orange is the New Black – set in the 80s and with… Read more

The notable premiere for this couple of weeks is my first ever 4DX movie. Taking all precautions, I had gone to see Baby Driver under normal circumstances in advance. Having liked it, and given the nature of the movie, it made sense that if ever-then now, so 4DX it was. Perhaps it’s a gimmick I… Read more

Movie of the Week: The Babushkas of Chernobyl (2015) Monday The Babushkas of Chernobyl (2015): It’s my not so hidden secret that I want to visit Chernobyl one of these days. In preparation for the event, I thought some lessons of wisdom from radiation ridden old ladies might do me good. Babushkas turned out to… Read more
