There’s a certain poetic nature to this. My personal journey toward Star Trek Beyond began with Star Wars: The Force Awakens some seven months ago, and on the day that I saw Beyond, it was announced filming has wrapped on Episode VIII. The circle continues. This is also a film tinged with sadness. It’s the […]
I swore to myself I wouldn’t be doing this, but every so often I’ll read something from this guy that requires a response. So here goes (be warned, his post contains some,colourful language): This month I have been following up on the controversy surrounding the 2016 “GhostBusters” or should I say “NuBusters” movie. I have […]
Why does the opening to this film always bring a lump to my throat? Always?!
Timey Wimey Confusey Mess. That would be a more appropriate title for the latest installment of a franchise that should have stopped with T2. Why do I feel this way? Read on! Terminator Genisys takes us back to the beginning of the story. Well, in fact, it goes to before the beginning, going right back […]
The aliens are back (both literally and figuratively)! (that’s a big-ass space ship!) It goes without saying that spoilers are likely, so if you don’t wish to know any, stop reading round about now. . . . . . . . . Still here? Then I’ll assume you don’t mind having the major plot points […]
This isn’t going to be a long post. I don’t know enough about Anton Yelchin to write in detail. His life was I fear too short for me to go into detail. I knew him as Chekov in the Star Trek reboot, and also as Kyle Reese in Terminator Salvation. His has been an all-too […]
My stepdaughter bought this film as an early Father’s Day gift, and having watched it, let’s offer up a review! Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (or ‘Hero’ Turtles as the cartoon was back in the 90s) formed a big part of my childhood. The show was huge, and spawned three feature films, and over the years […]
The second of the big ‘superheroes in conflict’ films has landed, hot on the heels of Batman vs Superman – is the MCU’s take on the controversial comic storyline a good film? It’s certainly (in this meerkat’s humble opinion) the most serious installment so far. If you asked me to sum up Civil War in […]
Last night, with a rare ‘just the two of us’ moment on our hands, my wife and I took a trip to the cinema to take advantage of Cheap Tuesdays and enjoy a film. The offering? Batman vs Superman! Following on from 2013’s Man of Steel, BvS is the continuation of DC Comics effort to […]
Breached the 70K mark on my wip! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
This is just sheer absolute, exquisite beauty.
I have eaten too much pizza.
I don't think it's up to you to decide what's best for women, nor whether or not men can find them attractive...
This meerkat gets nervous about a lot of things. In an upcoming Prompt, I’ll talk about tardiness, and that sort of overlaps with this. Picture the scene. It’s a busy London station, and you’ve just bundled off the Tube, and up to the main concourse. You vaguely know when your train is, but you’re in […]
