Detective Enola Holmes heads to Malta, where her aspirations merge in her most complex and dangerous case yet. While the movie has some pretty harsh ratings, I can see why. It’s not as witty and bubbly as the first two, but it makes up with good looking scenery and really good chemistry between the actors. After all, it’s a fun move and it just does this, it entertains. Four popcorns for a great fun watch. Oh, and for a movie set and filmed in Malta, of course one of the actors is called…

Jeff Probst had a cameo in BB28's premiere, which introduced two of the three returnees and Big Brother producers' new way of making the game unfair!

During World War II, Tommy Shelby returns to a bombed Birmingham and becomes involved in secret wartime missions facing new threats as he reckons with his past. Despite what people of the interwebs say, it was a good last effort for the Shelby family. Cillian Murphy is solid as Tommy once more, Tim Roth is pretty underwhelming, Rebecca Ferguson is aaight, and the guy that plays Duke gives some Cillian Murphy from Temu vibes. All in all, the story is good, although the pacing is off at times,…

I’m delighted to see the Mahoning Drive-In Theater, nestled in the scenic Pocono Mountains of Lehighton, Pennsylvania, is once again featuring “The Wild World of David Lynch” this August. On Friday, August 21 and Saturday, August 22, 2026, attendees will take an on-screen trip to Twin Peaks with showings of Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me...

There’s only one recording today, and I’m afraid it’s a little bit of a surprise. And not a good one. It starts with a trail for Easter films, then there’s 60 Seconds of news. But then, I was expecting to watch Doctor Who – The Waters of Mars as that’s what Media Centre told me it was. But in fact, it’s two episodes of The Real Hustle, not a programme I ever deliberately recorded. Not even having Danny Dyer flogging fake BluRay players out the back of a van can make me watch it. Sorry. Here’s a…

I never had the honour of knowing actress Joanna Pettet, who appeared in the movies The Group (1966) and Casino Royale (1967) and several guest appearances on television, but I had many friends who were also friends with her. It is for that reason that I know that she was not only a beautiful and talented actress, but a warm, sweet, and approachable human being. She truly cared about her friends and appreciated her fans. When Sir Alan Bates was dying from pancreatic cancer in 2003, it was Miss…

I like Richard Dix in movies, especially his WHISTLER B pictures, and GHOST SHIP, where he fits in perfectly with Val Lewton’s fondness for understated villainy. Unfortunately some the RKO star vehicles I’ve seen from when Dix was something of a leading man tend towards the lachrymose. ACE OF ACES is not RKO’s best biplane […]

Live From The Warehouse, White Bear Theatre. Photo: Deepan Singh Live From the Warehouse is a multimedia play set, as the title suggests, in a warehouse. Tanmay (Aryaman Krishna Aggarwal) and Riyan (Vrishab Wig) are hiding out after a school prank involving a gun goes wrong. With the police in pursuit, they contemplate their options and find ways to pass the time, flirting recklessly with the idea of becoming social media famous and having all eyes on them. Aryaman Krishna Aggarwal and Vrishab…

As the first season of Netflix’s new Little House on the Prairie reach audiences, I want to say thank you to everyone who brought this beloved story to life for the 21st century audience. Bringing a cherished story to the screen requires the talents of countless people: writers, actors, directors, craftspeople, costumers, and so many […]

WatchingWe got Netflix for the month, pretty much exclusively to watch season 2 of the live action One Piece. I especially love the costumes, hair, and makeup for the characters, including Miss Valentine, who wears a crochet hat. I ended up making a yellow crochet hat myself this month, and even though it's a different design, it felt a little like I was pulling inspiration from the show.Miss Valentine's crochet hat in One PieceReadingIn an unexpected turn of events, I've been reading…

David Lynch’s Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me was released in the United Kingdom on November 20, 1992. As part of publicity for the film, a fantastic Red Room-themed press kit was produced. The kit contained a film synopsis, a chart tracking all the relationships in the film and several black and white publicity photos taken by...

The Russians Are Coming! The Russians Are Coming! (1966)

An original poster promoting 'The Black Pirate' (1926), which I'll accompany on Saturday, July 18 in Brandon, Vt.I hope everyone had a great 4th of July! I'm away from the keyboard for a short stretch, but will be back doing music for silent film screenings starting in mid-July. Here's a round-up of upcoming programs of silent film with live music by me. Hope to see you soon at a silent film screening!• Saturday, July 18, 2026, 7 p.m.: "The Black Pirate" (1926) starring Douglas Fairbanks Sr.;…

This post is mostly photos but I wanted to document a build a did back in February. I was contacted by someone working on a film who needed a prop. A large (202mm x 202mm x 83mm) device with two buttons that would light up when pressed. Banana for scale. This is a laser cut (and etched) banana but it’s approximately banana-sized. US quarter for scale… just in case you don’t like bananas used for scale. Usually (when I build USB devices) the bottom cover is just a flat piece that gets screwed…

Back to May. Aside from Sleeping Beauty, all of these were part of the Super Saturday Movie Club, whose monthly theme this time was "Monstrous-Feminine". June 6 - In My Skin (2002)A good, if understated movie. Not shot very memorably but this sober, almost workmanlike style added up to be greater than the sum of its parts. It deals with femininity in such a relatable fashion that I was quite touched at moments. It deals heavily in self-repression and not showing emotions, though I wasn't very…

Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass brings a slapdash quality to a comedy that opts for a glut of gags that bob on a sea of silliness. Director David Wain (Wet Hot American Summer) delivers a preposterous story, unremitting goofiness, and a disregard for credibility, driving his movie to zany extremes. There's something refreshing about a movie without pretensions, but the problem with a scattershot approach to comedy is that the laughs can be scattershot, as well. Wain and his writing…

A simple act of kindness always sparks another, even in a frozen, faraway place. When Smeerensburg’s new postman, Jesper, befriends toymaker Klaus, their gifts melt an age-old feud and deliver a sleigh full of holiday traditions. I have no idea how this movie flew under the radar for me, but wanting to tick a few more movies from the Top 250 IMDb list, I encounter this, and whoa! Lovely mix of hand-drawn and 3D techniques, a story about friendship, overcoming differences and inclusion without…

Here are all the reality TV shows, docuseries, documentaries, and people nominated for 2026 Emmys—which is very similar to last year with a few differences.

I already knew that Penelope Cruz can be a terrific comic actress, but The Invite, a movie about sex and relationships, reminded me how good she can be. I can’t say I’m a huge Seth Rogen fan, but he gives what might be his best performance in this Olivia Wilde-directed movie. Wilde also has a starring role. Essentially, The Invite is a four-hander with Edward Norton joining the group as a firefighter who has formed a relationship with a psychotherapist (Cruz), who describes herself as a…

Warner Brothers have unveiled the first trailer for Dune: Part Three.Directed and co-written by Denis Villeneuve, the film adapts the second novel in Frank Herbert's Dune series, Dune Messiah (1969). The story takes place some years after the events of the first two movies, with Paul Atreides ruling the galaxy as the Emperor. To solidify his power, he has unleashed the Fremen of Arrakis in a vast holy war, but in the process he has caused arguably far more harm than the old Emperor and the…

Welcome to Summer Workshop 2026. Read here.

Phantom Canyon (2006) is another short animated film by Stacey Steers where many of the backgrounds and other details are collaged pieces from old engravings. There are so many of these films by Steers and older directors like Lawrence Jordan that I’m starting to think they should be considered a sub-genre inside the general body of film animation, just as engraving collage is almost a separate class of paper collage. In Stacey Steers’ The Edge of Alchemy the human character was animated from…

Sally Field is probably one of the most well-known actresses of the last 60-odd years.

Another Luigi Maggi. A couple in old age makeup reminisce about how they first met, and it proves to be a dramatic wartime yarn in flashback. This one tries to get by with as few intertitles and as much acting as possible. We stare, bewildered (or I did — I can’t speak for everyone as […]

Originally posted on Mastodon Some knew in advance that Skynet was growing geometrically. The Cult of the Human Renaissance had spent years (and a lot of political capital) piggybacking Shuttle launches to build a lifeboat that could remain in orbit with a few hundred inhabitants before the inevitable end came for the billions below. When the acute fallout had died back, the theory held, those left above could return to Earth as rulers of the ashes. There were problems with the theory, sure,…

What should we tell people whose commitment to de-Googling is wavering?

William the Conqueror, 1066 – played on the Saxons cruel tricks. I don’t know if you are old enough to remember the first lines of a poem I was forced to learn at school which detailed several important historical dates, beginning with the Norman invasion of England, but this video will help explain the cruel tricks. I for one truly wish this has been around in my childhood! The British Museum (aided and abetted by Hocus Pocus Studio) have created this fantastic, animated explanation of the…
