Crossing fingers that they don't fumble the third 28 Years Later. #lastfourwatched #letterboxdfriday #letterboxd #filmsky

A late UK release means I'm delayed in saying it's one of the best TV shows of 2025... ...but #TheLowdown is excellent. Tremendous cast bringing to life a richly diverse bunch of characters in a twisty, noirish crime comedy/thriller. Completely my bag.

Next month, we're returning to the @allendalecentre.bsky.social to start our Screwball Comedy Season with The Thin Man (1934). We can't promise anything as glamorous as this picture but it will offer a rare opportunity to see this classic on the big screen. Individual tickets: tinyurl.com/3x8ryzhf

Enjoying a bit of '70s Jack Nicholson at the moment, as one does. #lastfourwatched #letterboxdfriday #letterboxd #filmsky

And yet the number of people you'd think would know better still posting on X boggles the mind.

Not seen When Harry Met Sally for MANY years. For a number of reasons, it hit me harder this time around. That script! ❤️ #letterboxdfriday #filmsky #lastfourwatched

It's not even been a week, America.

#TheNightManager is lavish but mid-tier, Hiddleston still not completely convincing in the lead role.

#CoverUp Decent doc though maybe better if focused solely on the My Lai massacre? Still, really underscores the importance of those that are driven to seek the truth.

Did some good movie-watching in 2025! #LetterboxdWrapped

A recent rewatch of Sinners followed up by this, Nolan interviewing Coogler. Recommended.

Yeah, I wish!

Happy New Year. To everyone but particularly the handful of you on here who I think I could be friends with IRL.

TOP 10 TV SHOWS OF 2025 10. Hacks 9. Task 8. Mo 7. Mr. Scorsese 6. Severance 5. The Studio 4. Pluribus 3. The Bear 2. Adolescence 1. Andor

After showing The Godfather to my son for the first time he's confirmed it's not his favourite movie ever so he might have to be written out of the will.

#Pluribus is nothing like what I expected and so much better because of that. I have no idea where it's going.

#AvatarFireAndAsh A spectacle. Long and unwieldy, seems like a rerun of the previous instalment at times, but Oona Chaplin is outstanding and it's visually gobsmacking, evidence of how photorealistic CGI can be with the right amount of time.

Generation Kill was my favourite of his roles I've seen, I don't think he had the career his talent deserved, and now he never will. And that's really, really sad.

I simply don't have time for your Christmas movies... But maybe The Shining is a Christmas movie. Because snow. #lastfourwatched #LetterboxdFriday

Welcome back, Mr Spielberg. We have missed you.

Loved seeing #TheShining back on the big screen. Nicholson's gold-plated lunacy never fails to entertain and I will always be grateful for Kubrick's devotion to cinematic meticulousness.

Will not speak his name but that's a new level of sociopathy, even for him.

Rob Reiner. Always came across as one of the nicest guys in Hollywood, and by all accounts, he was. RIP.

Here's mine. #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

#WakeUpDeadMan might just be my favourite of the three Benoit Blanc mysteries so far. A big part of that is down to Daniel Craig gracefully ceding the spotlight to Josh O'Connor who is very, very good

Geese album released top late in the year I guess! #SpotifyWrapped

***THIS FRIDAY*** Alistair Sim stars as Ebenezer Scrooge in the classic 1951 adaptation of Charled Dickens' A Christmas Carol, SCROOGE! Screening at the Allendale Community Centre in Wimborne on 5th December at 8pm. Advance tickets available here: tinyurl.com/2p9wwnkh

"It was a mixed bag, mate" #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

#PredatorBadlands The must fun I've had with the franchise since the original (at last!). Big Klingon vibe too, which I was totally on board with. Also: legs.

Yvonne Mitchell and Diana Dors in Yield to the Night. Screening tomorrow evening at the Allendale Community Centre in Wimborne. Doors open at 7:30 for an 8pm start. Tickets available on the door or in advance here: tinyurl.com/bdduea32

#Bugonia triggered just about every emotion in me as it ricocheted around genres. A wild, WTF of a movie. And one of the best of the year.

It's bad enough that he has a platform to spout this shit but it's so much worse that people lap it up as the absolute truth.

#MrScorsese is terrific. Makes an easy case for Marty being *the* best film director ever and has encouraged me to watch every single one of his movies again.

Two Netflix films, one seen on the big screen, one on a far smaller screen, would always prefer the option of big though... #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

Watched #Frankenstein by @realgdt.bsky.social last night at The Regent in Christchurch, the closest screening to Mary Shelley's resting place in Bournemouth. And it was fantastic. I think I'd go as far as to say it was sumptuous! Jacob Elordi the standout in a top tier cast.

***IN TWO WEEKS*** High Contrast Cinema are back at the @allendalecentre.bsky.social on Friday 7th November with YIELD TO THE NIGHT starring Diana Dors. Advance tickets available here: tinyurl.com/bdduea32

Not that I expected any other outcome but within minutes I felt like #MrScorsese had been made specifically for me.

Diane Keaton RIP. Really sad about this, she was fucking awesome.

Think like I saw the film of the year this week... #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

And on the subject of new to @netflix.com UK, season 1 of #DarkWinds has just appeared on there, and that's very good too!

ICYMI Both seasons of #InterviewWithTheVampire are now on @netflix.com in the UK. The very highest of recommendations for this incredible series (which leaves the movie adaptation in the dust).

Everyone seems to have seen it already but I finally caught up with #OneBattleAfterAnother... ...and yeah, you were all right about it. Feels like a film you could watch in the 30 years and it would be a great time capsule for the era it was made in.

Bermudian-born Earl Cameron was one of the first Black actors to get star billing and portray an interracial romance in a British film. That film is Pool of London (1951), screening next Friday 10th October at the @allendalecentre.bsky.social Advance tickets available here: tinyurl.com/8vcnzdwk

Watched this one with my kid today (first time for him). Seeing it opening weekend 31 (!) years ago remains one of the best cinema experiences I've ever had. It grabbed hold of the zeitgeist on a level that few films manage. #filmsky #pulpfiction

Very excited that we're getting to show this movie!

Starting to introduce my son to Tarantino. Was planning on showing them in order but he made sure that idea went out the window pretty swiftly... #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

It's baffling that the now Emmy-award-winning series #ThePitt *still* hasn't found a home in the UK.
