Some are frustrated that the sun is gone and that Christmas has not yet arrived; of course others are frustrated that the sun is gone and impending Christmas approaches (there must be some Scrooges out there).

The project of a life time, writer-director Mike Leigh’s Mr Turner opened to much acclaim. The project of a life-time, the reflecting on past works seems worthwhile. Secrets and Lies (1996) would be the obvious choice: much-loved work also featuring Timothy Spall (the titular J.M.W). However, in this Rewind here I want to focus on […]

Ignatius (Ig or Iggy) Perrish (Daniel Radcliffe) is accused of murdering his childhood sweetheart Merrin Williams (Juno Temle). Demonized (the operative word) by the press and looking for support, […]
