Hi readers, I was flicking through the TV during the week, when I thought I saw Will Smith. So, I flicked back, and there he was. I hadn't seen him on TV since he gave that Chris Rock (an insidious man if ever there was one) a good slap. Then Will just disappeared. This didn't really linger in my mind or anything until I saw him again.

Not for the faint-hearted, this film is currently being shown on Sky Movies. Nuremberg (2025) is a compelling and meticulously crafted film that succeeds both as a historical drama and as a deeply human exploration of justice, morality, and responsibility. From its opening moments to its final, reflective scenes, the film commands attention with quiet confidence and emotional weight. One of the film’s greatest strengths is its restrained yet powerful storytelling.

Hi, my readers, I hope you are having a good weekend. This is a different kind of film I watched recently that I found quite entertaining. And maybe you'll like it too. The Life of Chuck is a 2024 American fantasy drama film written for the screen, co-produced, edited, and directed by Mike Flanagan. It is based on the 2020 novella of the same name by Stephen King.

Lula puts her hand through her hair. "Well, it's not Maeve exactly, more her family. We're not sure exactly if she is involved." "Involved in what?" "The transportation of drugs from low Earth orbit." Derek could feel his heart thumping. "No way!" Lulu gets out of her seat and stands beside him, showing him her badge. "Blasters." "Hey, no need for foul language.

Well, my dear readers, I am writing at a furious pace to tell you about a series I have been binge-watching. It's called Turn: Washington's Spies, and I've watched Series 1 and 2 to date. It definitely gets five stars from me. The series covers events from 1776 to 1781 and features a farmer, called Abraham Woodhull from Setauket, New York, and his childhood friends.

Derek still has some time, and decides, what the hell, he'd have another one. He feels someone pushing him. Who is doing that, and where am I? His eyes dart open to see the lady with the tattoo standing in front. She smells of strong perfume. His head feels clearer. The bar is still full with music blaring. "Who are you?" Derek enquires.

Those of my readers around in the eighties will probably remember Chevy Chase. I remembered him from comedic films from the time period, but it had been many years since I even thought of him. So, I said I'd give this documentary film a try. Its name is "I'm Chevy Chase and You're Not." From the start, it becomes clear that his bad reputation as a coworker will be a big focus, as well as his past drug abuse.

Well, readers, if ever there was a counter-culture film to Trump's America, then this is it, It oozes wokeness, but, at nearly three hours long, is it any good? It stars some great actors, Leonardo Di Capprio, Sean Penn, and Benicio del Toro. Di Capprio gives a great performance. The film’s narrative grapples with ideas about legacy, revolution, and personal consequence.

Hi, ladies and gentlemen. Yes, I'm still on my Christmas holidays. That is probably why you are hearing so much from me at the moment. On the plus side, I watched this film earlier and thought I'd share my thoughts. For those who don't love zombies as much as I (weirdos), this is a sequel to the iconic film 28 Days Later…

She has long, curly, brown hair and is giving him a warm smile. Her body is voluptuous, and she is dressed in a black tank top and bottom. "Come here often?" Derek replies. "Quite often, best place to go if you ask me. I live quite close by." Two guys with long hair pulled up on either side of her.

Well, I finally got around to seeing this. This lapse would be very difficult to explain to my ten-year-old self. But was it worth the wait? Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (also known as Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker) is a 2019 American epic space opera film produced, co-written, and directed by J. J. Abrams. Produced by Lucasfilm and Bad Robot, and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, it is the third installment of the Star Wars sequel trilogy, following The Force Awakens (2015) and The Last Jedi (2017), and the final episode of the nine-part "Skywalker saga." And what a saga, it has proven to be.

Believe it or not, it turns out that I missed some of the Star Wars films. And, perhaps you have too. They don't appear on anything, except Disney, so they are easily missed. At least, I had two good films to watch. Always look on the bright side of life, eh. Star Wars: The Last Jedi is the cinematic equivalent of showing up to a family reunion and discovering that Uncle Luke has undergone a profound philosophical transformation, dyed his hair gray, and now has very strong opinions about the Jedi Order.

Well, readers, I watched this gem on Sky earlier. The first few minutes revisit what had been a best-selling book, later turned into a starring Gillian Anderson. The show lulls you into a tranquil daze. There are drone shots of cliffs that look like they’ve been photoshopped by the concept of serenity itself. Gentle strings hum. Someone says something earnest about “healing.” You exhale.

Rosemary's proves to be everything he hoped for. It is crowded, but not so much that he can't move around in his wheelchair. The latest music from Earth, a strange electric form, is playing. Strobe lighting is going back and forth. Now, what to order? It had been some time since his last one. A gender neutral bartender, with bright purple hair and a blue latex suit, approached.

Derek spends hours more going from moon to moon after that. A siren goes off for a few seconds. It's a warning that the fair is coming to a close. Damn, I haven't even seen Jupiter itself yet! He powers over to the huge planet. There are no human settlements in its atmosphere to admire. Not yet, anyway, plans have been drawn up.

Derek marvels at the display of the base. The miniature buildings on the moon have all been made to the exact specifications. It even shows little people going back and forth between them, carrying out routine maintenance and other functions. He is most interested in the spaceport. This is where human exploration and colonization would expand to Saturn and beyond. Then there is the Le Poitre telescope that scans for habitable new worlds in the galaxy.

Hi everyone, I hope you are all enjoying the festive spirit. Personally, I love this time of year and having some time off. It's great to catch up with people, also. I like giving these updates every six months or so on all my projects. Occasionally, these posts prove really popular. Other times, I'd be lucky if anyone apart from myself reads it at all.
