Media madness for the bored and restless
Sometimes life gets in the way of things we want to do. I had great plans to write a Christmas article, but with a new job and other responsibilities, time just got away from me. So, here I am to kick off the New Year with a film breakdown, and this is one that has... Continue Reading →
Lockdown is rough isn't it? Stuck in the house with the same people you have been stuck with for over a month now, little respite and routine which is set to match Groundhog day. The TV just has adverts reminding you not to go outside or the endless begs from charities even though many people... Continue Reading →
It truly is a strange and worrying time at the moment isn't it. COVID-19 appears to be bringing out the best and worst in people, from fighting in the aisles of supermarkets for toilet roll, to masses of volunteers helping our elderly and vulnerable people. The media have caused a frenzy which is of an... Continue Reading →
Have you ever watched something, and immediately wanted to watch it again? This film was exactly that for me. It is so rich in symbolism and so dense with nods to other stories, elements and film productions that it really get the brain ticking. It is a film that sucks you and a leaves you...

I really love a horror film, which will be absolutely evident if you have read any other of my film articles; but I quite often find myself saying “they don’t make them like they used to”. The characters seem insipid in newer horror to the point I don’t really care what happens to them, and... Continue Reading →
I have an odd relationship with Star Wars. I wouldn’t say that I am a huge fan, in the way that I don’t consider my religion a Jedi, nor do I have Star Wars memorabilia littered around my house, but I do know a lot about the films, and perhaps some of the finer details... Continue Reading →
You know there is quite a big downside to writing articles of this nature, especially when your friends see movies before you, and eagerly wait to hear what you think of it, because they really enjoyed it, then I realise all I will be doing is writing a rant which earned me the name WidowCranky....

I have said it before... I went to see the remake of "The Wickerman" just to see Nicholas Cage burn at the end. I appreciate it is a brash statement, and actually, I don't wish the guy any harm (just in case he stumbles across this one day and thinks I am the one that... Continue Reading →
I loved Stephen King books when I was growing up. I was devouring his books from about the age of 10, which looking back, may well have been a little young, but they were better than Nancy Drew so... Reflecting on it now, I realise it is because the stories were exciting but the writing... Continue Reading →
Hear what I thought about this abomination of a film.
If you have been a long time reader of mine, you will know I started out by ranting about really bad films. Well I am reviving the Cranky in my name to write about this abomination of a film. Let us not get this confused with the sci-fi 2005 film written by Joss Whedon, no... Continue Reading →
There have been a lot of “artsy” films that have come out recently, which is great for me as it gives me more to write about on here and is equally something that is totally accessible to anyone who is an avid reader, as you can go away and watch them, rather than having to... Continue Reading →
There are some films which incorporate a theme so seamlessly that they leave you astounded. This film is one of those. Some have said that it is a totally self indulgent piece of work, but I think that this could be that either the person watching it had no in depth knowledge of the "Divine... Continue Reading →
Do you know, if you asked me yesterday who my favourite band was, I probably wouldn't have said Queen, but some of my earliest memories are of my brothers LPs of Queen (and the Sex Pistols - and I was petrified of The News of The World album cover, as well as the Who Killed... Continue Reading →
There are films that are so strikingly odd that you end up remembering them and returning back to them again and again. I found that with "The Lobster". This was the first film in English by Yorgos Lanthimos, and on first watching I honestly thought to myself "what the hell was that?" This obviously made... Continue Reading →
