Tragic news from Hollywood. RIP filmmaker and actor Rob Reiner, and his wife Michele. We covered many of the films he did, including some from his incredible ‘80s streak: THIS IS SPINAL TAP, WHEN HARRY MET SALLY, THE PRINCESS BRIDE, and MISERY. www.framerated.co.uk/tag/rob-rein...

🛏️ my 2025 in review 🌸 I used to live for live when a city-dweller, now the gigs I love are streaming & certainly one of this year's events to remember was Kyary Pamyu Pamyu's marvellous 'Dreamin Dreamin' show confirming her return in full-effect!

#RemyReviews "...the BBC adaptation of John Masefield’s 1935 novel has become as integral a part of the festive season as sending cards or decorating the tree." Enjoy your annual rewatch of 'The Box of Delights' (1984) read my #review of the #Bluray @framerated.co.uk 🐭 medium.com/framerated/t...

As we’re noting the 46th anniversary of #StarTrek The Motion Picture’s arrival in cinemas in 1979, here’s my deep dive into the restored Director’s Edition and the film’s genesis from 2022: medium.com/cathode-ray-... #Filmsky

'Cloud Dancer' is Pantone's 2026 Colour of the Year - a non-committal, potentially inclusive 'scaffold' with which pastels may harmonise & other colours can overwhelm... let's hope it sets the scene for a subtly nuanced new year rather than a blandly boring one... #Design

#RemyReviews 'Perfect Blue' (1997) - flawlessly crafted thriller dissects selfhood "...a superbly intricate plot where everything falls into logical place during the final act" my #anime #review of @alltheanime.com's new restored 4K UHD & #Bluray @framerated.co.uk ▶️ medium.com/framerated/p...

A male rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) in winter plumage. Ptarmigan is from Gaelic 'tarmachan' meaning "croaker". The p- was added when people mistakenly assumed it was a Greek word. A bird forever warning people: "A werewolf!" (just in case of werewolves).

my 2025 highlights: the reassuring return of 'Phineas & Ferb' S.5 & after wandering about Porthmadog in the rain, sheltering in various shops with their decorations up & festive street lights, I feel distinctly Christmassy... take it away Doof! 🎶 youtu.be/-hrNGHRmeEs?...

#RemyReviews 'Event Horizon' (1997) "Gorgeous sets & model effects. A fusion of gothic horror & science fiction... atmospheric & fast-moving. What was there not to like? I was, apparently at odds with the majority of my fellow cinema-goers." #review @framerated.co.uk 🔥 medium.com/framerated/e...

OK, so there's a variety of Sea Devil type & this looks really exciting stuff. It will have to make-up for lack of #DoctorWho seasonal special. Happy diving into the #Whoniverse🏊‍♂️ youtu.be/TIuILeKrH4w?...

the overview is revelatory to those with casual interest, an amazing resource for serious historians: "muster rolls of men-at-arms & archers. We can even see the little dots used by officials... to confirm the soldiers had turned up & had the right equipment." 🏹 theconversation.com/we-built-a-d...
