What could have been... Sam Neil's screen test for James Bond.
There are so many wonderful Sam Neil performances from The Hunt for the Wilderpeople, Jurassic Park, The Piano, Event Horizon, Dead Calm, The Hunt for Red October and countless others... but there's something quintessentially 'Sam Neil' about The Dish. It's just so... wholesome.
Get ready for The Odyssey by watching some cinematic epics on 35mm at @wshed.bsky.social! - Gladiator (2000) - 12 July - Master and Commander (2003) - 19 July www.watershed.co.uk/whatson/seas... Plus Watershed will be showing The Odyssey on 35mm as well! www.watershed.co.uk/whatson/1411...
When you're just trying to enjoy a beer in Bristol and Chewie and Boushh walk past...
Why oh why is the Master and Commander 70 mins documentary 'The Hundred Days' not featured on any of the Blu Ray or 4K releases? It's one of the best special features/making of docs ever made... and it's only available on the 2-disc DVD?! Pray tell, what is this madness?!
Boorman and the Devil, Danger: Diabolik, Dead Mountineer's Hotel and much, much more. Check out the stacked programme for @cineredis.bsky.social 2026 - 22-26 July at @wshed.bsky.social. www.watershed.co.uk/cinema-redis...
The Hellfire Video Club says goodnight after 15 years of cult weirdness at @cubecinema.com This Friday, get ready for a double bill of psychedelic-Blaxploitation-philosophical-space-Jazz fused with a recruitment film from a Californian UFO cult. cubecinema.com/programme/ev...

If there is one thing we’ve learned from @jamescamerononline.bsky.social and @galeannehurd.bsky.social, it’s that this won’t end well…

The final day of Forbidden Worlds 2026 separates the cinematically casual from the cinematically crazed as we lean into the weirder side of the fantasy genre! What will you be seeing? www.instagram.com/p/DXle7b9goN6/
"For the moment, there is sufficient cowardice, sloth and mendacity down there on Earth to last forever." Alright Zeus! Have a day...
It was wonderful to be joined by Beatie Edney for our 40th anniversary screening of Highlander to discuss filming the cult fantasy with author @jonmelville.bsky.social! www.instagram.com/p/DXi633dgmF...
Forbidden Worlds: Incest and Bestiality Coming soon. www.instagram.com/p/DXfL5ZZAnt...
It's back! With a bit of a re-design... but still as refreshing as ever. New Bristol Brewery X Forbidden Worlds = The Forbidden Sesh.
For 1,000 years, the Sami people have told the story of the Pathfinder - a young warrior that defended his tribe against invaders. In 1987, it became the first film to be made in the Sami language and was nominated for an Oscar! See it in Bristol on 24 April: www.forbiddenworldsfilmfestival.co.uk
Prepare for cinema’s greatest dragon - Vermithrax Pejorative - as we screen DRAGONSLAYER on 24 April - an essential fantasy adventure that brings to life a world of magic, wonder… and light levels of gore and nudity for a Disney family film! www.forbiddenworldsfilmfestival.co.uk
