October. Halloween month. Some good horror abounded and some not-so-good horror snuck in there too, but the scariest thing about this month was the ...
A fairly enjoyable month where I forewent the watchlist for more impulsive viewing. I also visited the cinema for the first time in five months… pity it was to see...
Boxing and horror were the order of the month it seems, but the quality came from...
The old certainly defeated the new this month with some shamefully unseen classics now under the belt and living up to their reputation, while elsewhere...
A fairly decent month sees a focus on more recent offerings. I must confess, though, I have missed the...
To anyone who thought parenthood would put an abrupt end to my movie-going reputation, to paraphrase Mark Twain: the reports of my demise have been greatly exaggerated. In truth I have ...
April 2018 saw the arrival of my brand spanking new daughter and with her the inevitable changing of my blogging tides. Whilst I readjust to life as a parental unit, I rather expect the movie intake to...
Happy Easter, everyone. Probably should’ve watched something appropriate for the occasion but I haven’t quite been in the mood for films about the resurrection or...
Relatively new to the Broughton/Bonnington landscape, Braw Burgers & Pizzas has occupied the space where the L’Antica takeaway used to be. Itself a take-out place, Braw specialises in...

The fifth and final instalment of my year-end movie round-up looks forward to this year and what wee nuggets I’m most looking forward to. Before that a quick reminder of...
The fifth and final instalment of my year-end movie quartet quintet, I give you ten wee gems that will undoubtedly have gone under the radar. Some are based on US releases so chances are you may get the opportunity to experience on the...
Great year for movies, it has to be said and with still much to see, there is every chance this list could change somewhat in the coming months, so keep an eye on the sidebar (if you’re interested!) as I will maintain the previous year’s...
All in all it’s been a pretty decent year for cinema and I’m very much looking forward to sharing my favourites with you, but first we need to get the chaff out the way. The following are the ...
And so 2017 comes to an end. Look out for the annual Top Tens shortly, and there will might be a new one in there detailing my favourite TV shows of the year. For now, however, there was still some...
Opening the annual year-end round-ups is the newest addition to the collection. It’s no secret that streaming services have changed the face of television as we know it, bolstering pre-established giants such as HBO and AMC… even Sky is getting in on the act now...
And as expected, the latter half of the year continues to glean more quality… it’s as if they know awards season is nigh, eh?! ...
