New Batman: Robert Pattinson?
Avengers Appreciation Month!
Well we are all aware that Endgame is near just a few more weeks to wait now. So I have decided to dedicate this April to Avengers! I will be putting together plenty of different posts gushing about just how fantastic the Marvel Universe is (well most of it anyway) and the characters we have grown to love over the years!

The Next Big Film launches UK’s first box office prediction game
New start-up The Next Big Film is bringing the UK’s first box office prediction game to market. The Leeds company has created an innovative app-based game that allows you to ‘own’ your favourite film releases to compete with fellow film lovers by predicting which movie you think will perform best at the box office. The game is an opportunity to put your (virtual) money where your mouth is and will test your movie knowledge.

The Breakfast Club (March 24th)
That’s right today is Breakfast Club day! Well, the date just 35 years later, yes that’s right 35 years after the events in the film!
A truly outstanding film I must add at that! Don’t forget about them . . .
Music Stars at the Movies
I have recently re-watched the Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper A Star Is Born and I then received this amazing infographic from Betway with fantastic research around awards and music stars which just seemed like perfect timing. While Lady Gaga has been nominated for her amazing turn in A Star Is Born, the transition from music to film is not always a smooth one. This makes for interesting reading in all honesty, to show that they are either a massive hit or a masssive flop!
Goodbye FilmStruck!
Sad news broke yesterday that streaming service FilmStruck would be closing at the end of November. On the 29th November 2018 to be exact, I am rather shocked about this news as a few days ago I received an email informing me of which films were going to be added to the UK version for November.
The service has always offered high quality and well-regarded films from the Criterion Collection and TCM. All of which are not easily available in the UK, it is such a huge blow for classic film screening. As much as I love the services offered by Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, FilmStruck offered something a little different. You don’t have to spend as much time searching for a film that will be outstanding on FilmStruck, Netflix and Amazon while finding a hidden gem, I have also watched some awful films on them.
Actors in Family Film Roles!
A couple of nights ago now I turned my TV on and The Flintstones was on with John Goodman as Fred, this was a film I can remember a little from my childhood and when it was first released. It them made me think about other actors that I see from these “kids” films and at the time had no idea that some of these were Oscar nominees or winners and even catching up with their older films I cannot help but remember them from the films that I watched during my younger days!
This is a blog post I have thought about putting together in the past and I have tried to come up with as many actors as possible who I have typecast in what were more family/child aimed films. Feel free to have a think about which actors you still see in this way as well! It is always quite interesting to think about which films you associate with an actor and it is usually the first one you see them in.
The Producers
Since seeing the film on its cinema rerelease I can’t stop thinking about this truly hilarious moment! Got to love Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder together in this Mel Brooks classic!
Brief Encounter
A personal favourite of mine which has so many unreal quotable moments!
