Saturday Night at the Movies #1

At the end of the year the Book God and I reinstated Saturday Night is Movie Night chez Bride, and there are many good movies that for various reasons I haven't talked about here as yet, but that's all going to change with what I hope will become a regular monthly movie update. DUNE Part … Continue reading Saturday Night at the Movies #1 →

More Friday Night Movies

The Vast of Night We are in New Mexico towards the end of the 1950s, in a small town where everyone knows everyone else. Most of the town is off watching the local high school taking part in a basketball game, but over the course of the night Fay, a young woman working on the … Continue reading More Friday Night Movies →

Catching Up | Friday Night Movies

During these strange times we've started trying to watch a film together once a week to make up for how much we miss visiting our local cinema and I thought I'd pull together a post I was originally going to call Big Dumb Movies but as (a) not all of them are the same scale … Continue reading Catching Up | Friday Night Movies →

Twenty Books of Summer 2020

Sunday Salon | Books read in May so far

So here we are after a break of 3 weeks and I thought it might be fun to look at the books I've finished so far this month. It's been a fairly good month for reading but not a great one for blogging; what can I say? More mini-reviews are likely to follow, but let's … Continue reading Sunday Salon | Books read in May so far →

December Books | Impulse Buys

Photo by Sincerely Media on Unsplash It is a fact that I am not supposed to buy books in December because gifts, but as we share wishlists I know the range from where my presents will be drawn. That's a complicated way of saying that if a title wasn't on my wish list it was fair game. Here … Continue reading December Books | Impulse Buys →

Review Catch-Up | Movies

All of these deserved individual posts but I'm superstitious and don't want 2019 reviews to wander into 2020. It's a thing. Doctor Sleep My thoughts on the Kubrick film of The Shining have been aired here before (in short, it's a good Kubrick film, but not a great King adaptation) and I read Doctor Sleep … Continue reading Review Catch-Up | Movies →

October Round-up | Books read

I was reasonably pleased with my reading in October, especially as I had a couple of mini-reading slumps. The issue for me at the moment seems to be that I get about a quarter of the way into a book then no matter how much I am enjoying it I kind of stop. See if … Continue reading October Round-up | Books read →

Ad Astra

If ever there was a Marmite movie this is going to be it. I've seen Ad Astra described as thrilling and a masterpiece, but also as boring and dull despite having (MINI SPOILERS) moon pirates and killer monkeys. My thoughts will follow a quick detour to Planet Synopsis Astronaut Roy McBride undertakes a mission across … Continue reading Ad Astra →
