Chasing Mavericks review
This gentle father-son(ish) tale about an expert surfer and his teen apprentice is a rare “family” movie that isn’t preachy or insipid.
Admission review: screwball smart
A romantic dramedy about a passionate erudite oddball woman with her own life? Hooray!
John and Sherlock are moody, grim in first image from Series 3
I’m getting a very Edward Hopper feel from this image.
I’ll be at the National Media Museum for the opening night of the Doctor Who fan exhibit
If you’re in or near Bradford and would like to meet up, or if you have any tips for things to see on a very short trip to the city, let me know.
Doctor Who thing: An Adventure in Space and Time gets UK/US airdates, retro posters
I was absolutely convinced that this would air in the U.K. immediately after the 50th-anniversary episode on the 23rd. I guess someone figured that would be Doctor Who overload.
I, Frankenstein trailer: he is not a human being, he is a monster
Oh, it’s from the Underworld people. This does not bode well.
London photo of the day: Greenwich, before Thor got there
So peaceful, before the battle of the galactic gods.
Doctor Who thing: collectible chocolate bars
Well, the chocolate you eat. The enclosed stickers you collect.
The Lego Movie trailer 2: definitely maybe
I may potentially be feeling slightly more optimistic about this movie now than I did after the first trailer. Or at least I feel slightly less despair.
what movie has most inspired you in your life?
Perhaps a film actually inspired you to do something or learn something. Perhaps it’s merely a positive feeling that a particularly film left you with.
