The 77-minute movie has been described as a “part film, part baptism”. I love my Jamaican heritage and love any from of art that exhibits its richness. Black Mother does exactly that.

Of all the Batman films in the DC universe, Returns is still my all-time favourite. In fact, it’s my favourite movie ever. My introduction to it was unorthodox. My estranged father bought me a double VHS Batman/Batman Returns box set for my 3rd birthday. I was too young to remember whether I expressed a love […]

Santa Claus was directed by British film maker and psychic George Albert Smith, and his 66-second production showcases Santa’s present delivering […]
When did you last laugh at a podcast while shopping in Tesco Express? Never? Then you’ve not heard Regretflix. The podcast comprises of three hosts – John Kerrison, Sophie Cowles, and Nicola Robey as review the 100 worst films on IMDB. The trio picks films at random from the list and despite the unordered selection, […]
Some Batman Forever clips crept into my YouTube recommendation feed today so I watched them. I remember going to see it at the cinema back in 1995. I even collected the sticker book that came with it. But the film has not aged well. In my 27-year-old wokeness, I started spotting inaccuracies and considered writing […]
It’s Halloween season but there’s always time for Beetlejuice, right?
