  2. Exploring The World Of James Bond In St James’s (Living London History)

    James Bond, also known as Agent 007, is one of the world’s most recognisable cultural creations, spawning a blockbuster film franchise and immortal catchphrases such as ‘Bond, James Bond’ and ‘shaken, not stirred’. Did you know though that many of the stories’ roots can be traced to one corner of London: St James’s? Below is […] The post Exploring The World Of James Bond In St James’s appeared first on Living London History.

  7. Rendition (Rutans vs Sontarans) (feeling listless)

    Audio Charming. One of the results of listening to a concentrated number of Eighth Doctor stories in the past few weeks, with so many set during the Time War, is forgetting the sheer pleasure of hearing a version of the Time Lord and his companions when there are minimal psychological stakes and the characters are drawn along much simpler lines: a Doctor who shambles about until he doesn't, a naïve but brave Scot, and a haughty but loyal mathematician. Here, they find themselves on a medical…

  9. One Thing I Like About Backrooms (Spectre Collie)

    Here’s a tip for everyone: if you ever find yourself at the threshold of an inter-dimensional portal, where it seems like solid matter can pass through other solid matter, don’t stick your hand in there. No matter how tentatively. You don’t know what’s going to happen to it. Especially if you’re in a furniture store! Just stick a lamp or a coat rack in there or something. I’m not just mentioning that for yuks, either. I’ve only ever seen one of Kane Parsons’s original Backrooms shorts, so I’m…

  10. Not Absolute Cinema (a farshad blog)

    I started my day with news surrounding Martin Scorsese's endorsement of AI and how he's going to utilize it in the "storyboard" process. Funny enough, Scorsese was one of the few directors who were very vocal about their artistic issues with Marvel and its antics, calling it out for not making "cinema" but "amusement parks." However, it seems Scorsese himself doesn't have much issue with not making cinema and making "slops" this deep into his career, and honestly, this is a sad ending for one…

  13. The Incredible Shrinking Man (1957, Jack Arnold) (Brandon's movie memory)

    Scott “Biff” Grant of The Monolith Monsters yachts through a glitter cloud, his wife (of I Was a Male War Bride) unaffected since she was in the cabin. “People actually decrease in height during the day,” says a doctor trying to comfort him. But it’s no use, doc, Biff is definitely getting smaller, and being a real pain in the ass about it. He goes out on the town and meets circus midget April Kent, but that doesn’t help either. Finally he’s small enough to be chased around by the family cat –…

    Ann Seyfried totes her little brother (Lewis Pullman of a Salem’s Lot remake) as she discovers a Christian sect called the Shakers, marries Chris Abbott but can’t have kids, gets arrested and returns as their messiah, moves to America and leads the group as they grow and inevitably diminish, since her main rule is strict celibacy. The US arrests her for being a treasonous witch but releases her for lack of evidence, then vigilantes burn their place down and murder a bunch of them – this country…

  21. Monthly Musings (CabbieBlog)

    May 2026 Cabbie The Movie Instead of a short sizzle teaser, the producers are accelerating the timeline to make the full £2.5m feature film. This has been possible with the ‘industry noise’ needed to attract a substantial level of interest among London’s cabbies. In September, the producers are planning for the shoot and next year are going to Cannes with the finished movie, backed by the very people who keep London moving. Rook or Raven? For some weeks now, this monster of a bird has been…

  23. Witness for the Prosecution at the Old Magistrate's Court (Sky Hulk)

    28 May 2026 in Melbourne.Over the past few months I have been getting into old movies, lots of classic noir and such things. At some point my attention was drawn to the 1957 Billy Wilder film Witness for the Prosecution which stars Charles Laughton, Marlene Dietrich and Tyrone Power. It's a great film and far more fun than any courtroom drama has any right to be.The film is adapted from an Agatha Christie play. So when I realised that there was going to be a production of the play here in ye…

  25. Villainous Saltpetre (1962) by Clifford Witting (crossexaminingcrime)

    When I saw this book advertised I was intrigued by the premise, due to its setting, its choice of victim; a writer, and the fact this victim had a history for faking events in his life. Witting dedicated this novel to Sir Derrick and Lady Verner. I think this would have been Sir Edward Derrick Wingfield Verner, 6th Baronet and his wife, Lady Angèle Verner, although I could be wrong! I’m not sure how Witting knew these two.

  26. Pompeii (2014, Paul W.S. Anderson) (Brandon's movie memory)

    Sometimes the vulgar auteurists are wrong. This brit-accented antiquity drama mixed with fast-cut bloodless gladiator action (edited to hell, the same way I recall RE6) from the writers of Batman Forever was a nice-enough waste of time between Resident Evil episodes. Pretty girl Emily Browning (The Uninvited) likes slave-gladiator Kit Harington (best known as the star of Xavier Dolan’s eighth-best feature). Her dad Jared Harris (Benmont in Dead Man) and Emperor(?) Kiefer Sutherland are playing…

Archaeologists and grave robbery investigations, a ship unloading tons of grain from Ukraine. Another lovely doc with gorgeous photography by Rosi, who would probably not be amused that I chose his movie for a double-feature with the Paul W.S. Anderson. How did the city name lose an “i” in the intervening…

    On the floor of the Romulan Senate, a momentous offer is under debate: an attempt by Shinzon (Tom Hardy), ruler of the twin world Remus, home of the Reman pariah class, to forge an alliance between the two worlds against which even the Federation must falter. Though the military is all for it, the Senators are by and large sceptical – so Senator Tal’aura (Shannon Cochran), who’s all for the deal, deploys plan B: a bioweapon which eliminates all the other Senators and paves the way for a…
