Jurassic Park, Jurassic World and Jurassic World: Rebirth makes for an all timer of a trilogy. Gareth Edwards cooked once again...

The biggest What If for me is how George would have revisited the Prequel Trilogy past the 2011 Blu-Ray, Witwer in TPM? Remastered VFX, oh my, I'd have been so excited

β€˜Star Wars’ β€œLooks Terrible” in Screening of Long Lost Original 1977 Version The years have not been kind to the oft-romanticized original print of the sci-fi classic, which lacks all of George Lucas' post-release tweaks and polishes and looks "like a completely different film...

An incredibly humbling moment, I've had pull quotes in The Hollywood Reporter for my video on the Star Wars screening at the BFI.

Whilst I massively disagree with clickbait headline (not my words either), this is very surreal and cool!

Disney need to pull back the Mandalorian and Grogu release date by 3 weeks and drop it on May the 4th.

MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - FINAL RECKONING (2025) SPOILER FREE REVIEW - Cinema Savvy
YouTube video by Cinema Savvy MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - FINAL RECKONING (2025) SPOILER FREE REVIEW - Cinema Savvy

If not for a convoluted opening act, Final Reckoning would have been the best of the Mission: Impossible series. It did, however, give us some of the greatest set pieces we’ll ever see on a big screen...

If London gets Wrestlemania 2027 and it clashes with Celebration LA, I think I'm actually going to freeze myself in carbonite and never wake up.

This more than makes up for having to miss Star Wars Celebration next week!

Spent the weekend binging Andor (first time since it aired). It is just perfect, no notes.

I am still somewhat irked that S2 won't be airing weekly, the build up to arc finales was truly special and did so much for the first season...

Anyone who knows me knows I'm not the most spirited this time of year...5 Christmas Films watched by December 5th is probably the most I've seen in a year since I was a kid lmao

March 2020...November 2024!

Every set from my childhood has been gone through and itemised with the missing pieces/figures now ordered and packed. Sold most of the newer ones as they don't have the same meaning and now just the Technics to do in 2025...

I really enjoyed the first two episodes of Skeleton Crew and can see it being very popular amongst families as well as a great way to introduce younger generations into Star Wars!

It felt like what would happen if an Amblin film crossed over with The Phantom Menace...

Spent first lockdown restoring all my childhood Lego Star Wars sets and took me 4 years to get round to the rest...plus a very well earned reward for doing so!

Last few missing pieces on order now and then can get them safely back into storage...

As someone who knew nothing about Wicked until a week ago (I thought it was a Wizard of Oz remake with songs)...I very much enjoyed the film!

I've got about 10 pages of notes I made on Tenet at 2am after my second screening. There is no stone left unturned. This film needs to be made

*pulls up a chair*

It's time to have a serious discussion on why this is actually an unannounced sequel to Tenet, which would actually make it a prequel to Tenet, simultaneously.
