Finally caught up with Spielberg's 'Bridge Of Spies' (2015) the other night, giving it the big (well, biggish) screen treatment via my HD projector. The only reason why I didn't see it at the flicks was that it was on at the same time as SP - and go…

Last night I enjoyed a Peter Cushing double-bill: my all-time favourite Hammer Horror classic 'The Mummy' followed by 'Dr. Who And The Daleks'. I watched them projected onto a 120" wide screen which was wonderful as I never had the pleasure of seein…

Inevitably I watched 'Spectre' this evening. Daft as this may sound, I really wasn't looking forward to it all that much - probably due to seeing it so many times at the cinema. I felt like I'd OD'd on SP. But I enjoyed it far more than I expected. …

Yesterday I watched 'Police Academy' (1984) for the very first time. I simultaneously watched it for the very last time. Quite possibly the least funny alleged "comedy" I have ever had the misfortune of seeing. Truly dreadful! (NB: The only reason I…

Enjoyed an eclectic double-bill last night using my HD projector... Started with 'Gravity' (2013) which I watched in 3D. I also saw it in 3D at the cinema but found myself enjoying it more this second time. I think it worked better at home with j…

Enjoyed a western double-bill at Showcase today... 'The Revenant' Took a while to get into but I wound up hooked. Very intense. I've never cared much for Leonardo but I must admit he was very good here. Likewise Tom Hardy. Looked great on the …

Just finished watching the greatest film ever made in the entire history of the cinema. Or OHMSS as we call it. What was special about tonight's viewing was that I watched the Blu-Ray via my HD projector blown up to approx. 120" x 51". It looked abs…

This afternoon I saw SP for the very first time... in 2016, that is. This brings my tally up to 17 big screen viewings. Will there be an 18th? Hmm, it's looking a bit dicey. The film has already gone from my local Cineworld and from tomorrow it will…

Last night I re-watched (for about the hundredth time) my all-time favourite Roger Moore film - so obviously I wasn't watching a Bond film! No, it's Peter Hunt's classic 1974 thriller, 'Gold'. It was the first time I'd watched it via my new HD proje…

Plugged one of the few remaining gaps in my Connery viewings today by watching the not terribly thrilling thriller 'Entrapment'. (That just leaves 'A Good Man In Africa', 'Sword Of The Valiant' and pre-superstardom appearances in 'Action Of The Tige…

My final film of 2015 was Woody Allen's masterpiece 'Broadway Danny Rose'. It was also my final film of 2014. And 2013. And 2012. And... Well, you get the picture. Don't know why I always watch this particular Woody classic every New Years Eve - I j…

I certainly didn't. Looks like he was with them fleetingly in their pre-megastardom days.

I've been to 18 concerts in 2015: From The Jam (featuring former Jam bass player Bruce Foxton - a great hero of mine), Ennio Morricone, David Arnold, Burt Bacharach, Roisin Murphy (5 times) and The Primitives (9 times). So far I've got tickets booke…

I reached sweet sixteen today. No, that's not me fibbing (quite dramatically!) about my age - I mean I saw SP for a 16th time. I was half expecting to have the auditorium all to myself this evening now that the Millennium Falcon has landed. I even j…

My home cinema viewing took a considerably more cinematic turn this evening when I fired up my new Optoma HD141X projector for the very first time. What was my début flick? Well, it simply had to be CR, didn't it. I have to say I was very impressed …

After over two Spectreless weeks (however did I cope?) I found myself back in Bondage this evening when I watched it for the 15th time. Inevitably, going from the BFI IMAX to Screen 3 of my local Cineworld felt like a bit of a backward step. But on …

What I'm going to pore over when SP becomes a "Blu movie" is the form that Bond filled in for Dr. Swann. I've only ever been able to see the last multiple-choice answer he circled. Might give an extra insight into Bond's view of his own personality …

I can honestly say there's been no problems with talking or bad behaviour in any of the performances I've attended.

A week and a half without seeing 'Spectre'? However did I cope? Thankfully, my double-oh drought was ended this afternoon when I saw this flawed gem for the 14th time. It was a particularly memorable viewing for a number of reasons. Firstly, it's no…

Bet I'm not the only one who upon repeated viewings has found themselves scanning the wall at the soon to be demolished MI6 HQ that lists those agents who have died in the service of queen and country looking for names with any kind of significance.…

I blame George Lucas! Ever since "Luke, I am your father" there has been a growing propensity for scriptwriters to shoehorn in tenuous familial ties - especially between hero and villain. Couldn't the reason for ESB's not at all nice behavior simply…
