Pixar’s The Good Dinosaur Trailer Has All The Feels

Disney Pixar has released a trailer showing its latest offering The Good Dinosaur. The premise is simple enough. If we remember our history (or pre-history?) the reign of the terrible lizards came to a divisive end about 65 million years ago. The movie supposes that what would have been a knock-out punch was a swing and a miss… Now, the […]

Trailer For Remake Of Point Break Released

Kathryn Bigelow’s 1991 action thriller Point Break is being remade. This is not a prank. Lets start with the obvious; the original film, starring Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze, has gone on to achieve that strange honour of ‘Cult Classic’.

Book Club Review – 2001: A Space Odyssey

I first thought about writing this review when the BBFC re-released Stanley Kubrick‘s classic 2oo1: A Space Odyssey in 2014 and then again following Christopher Nolan‘s Interstellar that same year.

Review: Spooks: The Greater Good

The BBC series Spooks was an amazing success for no less than a decade. By any standard, that is impressive.
