Trailer: Ready Player One (2018)

The concept for this film certainly looks like a very interesting one when you think about how many people play computer games and are consumed by them. Even smaller games on an iPad/tablet are now extremely addictive and you can find hours suddenly disappearing.

Directed by Steven Spielberg it is certainly going to be a very interesting ride!

My 7 Favourite Steven Spielberg Films

Steven Spielberg is one of the greatest directors of all time. Today he is 70 years old and showing no signs of slowing down and stopping when it comes to making films. To help celebrate this day I thought it was the perfect opportunity to pick my seven favourites of his films. Please bear in mind though that I haven’t seen all of them!

25 Things to Love about Hook!

Hook turns 25 today so what better to celebrate that than coming up with plenty of things to love about the very different tale of Peter Pan? Even if like myself you do not want to admit that one of your childhood favourites is this old as it also means you are therefore older than the film!

I have always seen this as my Peter Pan film as other than the Disney animated version this was the newest one that came out when I was a kid and plus Robin Williams totally owned the 1990s when it came to kids films. He really was our actor, the best thing I think is that these performances have stood the test of time and are really something special.

I just love what Steven Spielberg was doing with this story though what if he did grow up, how would he actually be in life? Would he remember Neverland or was that all just a silly “dream”. I know this film seems to get a little flack but I certainly love it, always have and always will!

Don’t forget to let me know your thoughts about the film! Was this your Peter Pan story? As we certainly have had plenty more since this was released 25 years ago and I still think it is the best one we have had in that time, even though many have tried to re-invent it I think this remains so unique.

The BFG (2016) Trailer

This is the latest trailer to come from the op and coming BFG film and it certainly shows us a little bit more than the first trailer did. Which was more of a teaser and I will admit that I really enjoyed that trailer a lot mainly because I had no idea the film was coming out so it was a nice surprise. I loved the animated version when I was a kid so think this film will be a walk down memory lane in such a new way!

Also the fact Mark Rylance is one of my actors of the moment after his terrific performance in Bridge of Spies!

Are you looking forward to this one?
