  • John Wick 3: Parabellum new trailer has landed

    The new trailer for the third John Wick film has arrived – and life is not getting easier for our favourite formerly-retired assassin. The John Wick series took me by surprise. I didn’t pay much heed to the first one when it came out. Then I saw it on a plane and was hooked. I…

  • Toy Story 4 trailer is here

    The new trailer for Toy Story 4 has landed. We have not seen Buzz, Woody & co since they were left with Bonnie and looking forward the ‘happily ever after’ at the end of 2010’s Toy Story 3. But now, as the saying goes: “The toys are back in town.” This first full look at…

  • Game of Thrones Season 8 final trailer is here

    Just like winter, it is here. The final trailer for the eight season of Game of Thrones – and, therefore, the last trailer ever – has landed today. As you might expect it features a number of shots which promise something epic and could spell doom for big names and fan favourites, but I’m not…

  • Come From Away

    It has been a while since I was sat on the edge of my seat with the hairs on the back of my neck standing up, completely captivated by what is going on in front of me. That is not meant as a reflection on the film ,theatre and TV I have seen recently, it’s…

  • RIP Keith Flint: Reliving Prodigy at Snowbombing 2011

  • A piece of the pie at Waitress the musical

    It was a case of “more hot pies” as S and I headed to the theatre last night. No, not that sort of pies. There was less human flesh and more human feeling on show at Waitress at London’s Adelphi Theatre. The show is an adaptation of the 2007 film of the same name; it…

  • 9 to 5 Promo: Behind the scenes

    It’s video time! Last weekend I stepped out and about in Epsom – in the freezing cold – to shoot the promo videos for Epsom Players’ 9 to 5 The Musical. It involved plenty of walking in and out of lifts, posing in front of signs and trying to master automatic doors. Here is a…

    To Do @ 32

    Today I turned 32. I’m told (by my boss about two hours ago) that 32 is “a good one”. It’s like 27 apparently. I’ll keep you posted on that. Anyway, last year I posted my list of 31 Things I’ve Learned, so it only seems appropriate to fashion that into a set of principles going…
