Uninspired and wit free takes on Films, TV, books, music, cats, Queens Park Rangers and more. Letterboxd
The Evil Dead franchise never fails! I wondered if this one might buck the trend given the chat around it but its another bloody banger. Brutal? Mean? Absolutely but if you're telling me you don't see any humour in this I really don't know what to say. Three Stooges shenanigans wont work in 2026.
Off to see Evil Dead Burn finally, wish I hadn't seen so much of the internet discourse, people are profoundly irritating. Every film in this franchise today has been a banger, hoping the trend continues.
Completely forgot to wax lyrical about Olivia Wilde's The Invite. Probably film of the year for me, whipsmart funny, poignant, scary, real and stylishly directed. A genuine adult comedy with brilliant performances, if Seth Rogen isn't normally your cup of tea this might sway you.
Love this from Dale Dickey, what a legend. Pops up in just about everything, always great.
Couple of years ago on our annual Cornwall jaunt we were walking the coast path and as we were coming down into Mullion harbour we passed a film shoot. I couldn't find what it was at the time but now realise it was Mark Jenkins' Rose of Nevada.
Not a bad run and yeah I know Akira at 3 stars is sacrilege but what can I say? Just not really my bag. #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched
@maverick99sback.bsky.social @h0rr0r0fdracula.bsky.social worth keeping an eye on the cinema listings in August. I don't think for one second our Odeon will show this but you never know.
The prophecy has been fulfilled. Thank you gods of physical media @secondsightfilms.bsky.social
Shouldn't the audience for these two films broadly be the same? People should be au fait with the movie universe concept now, I just don't understand why you would watch one and not the other. Are general audiences really put off by critical reception?
Do folks still keep magazines? I used to keep all of mine, at one point I was subscribed to Empire, Total Film, DVD Review, Fangoria and Doctor Who magazine, god knows how I read them all. Having moved house with nearly 10 years worth in tow I vowed to slim it down, probably still have too many tbh.
Been on holiday this week and I always take some easy watching fare to chuck on of an evening. #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched
Back from me hols to find this....er beauty on my doormat. Brilliant film but be warned there's some tough to watch scenes. Incidentally I think this might be my best written review on Letterboxd, I never pretend to be a critic of any sort but I'm happy with this one. #FilmSky
Good new Bruce was defeated and this time Quint survives (just about), the Orca again took an absolute pounding though. #Jaws
Who has the best t-shirt? Correct, it is I, I have the best t-shirt.
Yep lot of fun at the pictures this one, I hope people go and see it. Milly Alcock smashes it. Side note. I've seen a review that describes Gunn's DC Universe as 'incredibly ropey' after *checks notes* two films! Bros gonna bro I guess.
I really want Onslaught to be a stealth sequel to The Guest but more than that I'd like a UK release date please.
Still irritated by this, I didnt even finish this show tbh, it were shite.
Well 3 of my last four were bangers at least. #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday
Slowly collecting Ian Nathan's Iconic filmmakers series. Just Marty and Nolan to go (I think) and then Sofia Coppola out later this year.
Hammer Time pod hammering my bank balance again. Taken @eofftv.bsky.social advice and got Cash on Demand ready for Christmas viewing (nothing like planning ahead). As ever what a joy it is listening to Kev and @bunnydarke.bsky.social.
Who the chuff thinks this film is called 'Interview with A Vampire'? Well I'm clearly the bigger idiot for actually clicking this article, this isnt even the most stupid thing on the list.
Everything fucking wrong with TV in 2026. Halfway through writing you say! I get we cant go back to 20 episode seasons year in year out but it should be possible to do 8 episodes a year surely? Halfway through writing? fuck off.
