Dracula 2020… okay, so it’s just Dracula, but then if you have several reviews called ‘Dracula’, it really doesn’t help in terms of Google rankings, so here we are. Anyhoo, this new series stars Claes Bang as the Count, and is set in 1897, where English lawyer Jonathan Harker (John Heffernan) travels to Transylvania to […]

The War Of The Worlds 2019 brings the classic HG Wells tale to our screens in TV series form. The first knowledge I had of the work as the fantastic double gatefold LP from Jeff Wayne, but for other screen versions, anyone with a brain will know how brilliant the original 1952 movie was… and […]

Radioactive tells the story of the scientific and romantic passions of Polish scientist Marie Sklodowska-Curie (Rosamund Pike) and Pierre Curie (Sam Riley), and the reverberation of their discoveries throughout the 20th Century. Personally, I don’t think Ms Pike can act her way out of a paper bag, and this trailer shows no exception. Radioactive hasn’t […]
Good Omens poses the opener that you might’ve thought that the universe began 14 billion years ago, and the Earth, 4.6bn years ago, but this series confirms that it all began on Sunday 21st October 4004 BC, at 9am… Sounds plausible. Whatever you believe, God is a woman – voiced by Frances McDormand, and Earth […]

Bandersnatch is the latest addition to Charlie Brooker‘s Black Mirror stable, and with the trailer being released just yesterday, and with the end of the year approaching and time being limited, I was really hoping this would be pushed into early 2019, but no, it’s out now! So I need to get straight on it. […]

Churchill… Winston Churchill… like Solo… Han Solo… and Bond… James Bond… Okay, let’s be serious for a moment. Churchill probably sounded like a great idea on paper. Wartime movies are sprinkling their way through the cinema schedules of late, so inbetween Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk and Gary Oldman’s Oscar/BAFTA-contender The Darkest Hour, someone thought: Brian Cox […]

The only plot details known so far are… well, it’s a comedy, so you don’t need to know a great deal, but it […]

The late Prime Minister stands in […]
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is the first of two spin-offs to the Star Wars canon, this one placed inbetween the lacklustre Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens, and next Christmas’ Episode VIII. Episode IX will come at Christmas 2019, with a young Han Solo movie being released at the yuletide season inbetween… […]

Tutankhamun – as well as a tale that’s been told a thousand times, it’s also the punchline of a childish joke: Q: How do you use an ancient Egyptian doorbell? A: Toot-and-come-in! If you laughed as you haven’t heard that before, and you’re over 5, then where have you been? Dom RobinsonReviewer of movies, videogames […]
