Read more: Inflatable Bikinis, Erotic Soup Bowls and Randy NignogsDuring the 70s the British film industry churned out more than twenty sitcom-based flicks, probably more than any other country in the world. I’m gonna put my cards on the table and declare the vast majority as dire. Fucking dire. It didn’t stop Joe Public from flocking to see them, though. A handful, such as…

Often hailed as one of the greatest British gangster movies, it’s the viewing equivalent of a kick in the solar plexus from a dirty, steel toe-capped boot. Amazingly, it was assembled…

Read more: What should the player do if the croupier makes a mistake?Many guests of gambling establishments, meeting with the croupier’s mistakes, refuse to believe that this is the same person as they are. Therefore, they can make a mistake by accident, without malicious intent. We are all human, and the dealer can also get tired on a long shift; they may have a lack of knowledge…

There’s one British military gentleman who’s always happy to sit by my side and share the silvery wonders of the big screen. His name is the Colonel and we love to delve…

Read more: Plane (2023)“Plane” – A better movie than January deserves. After the disappointing but perfect-for-January M3GAN, I fully expected Plane to be perfectly January as well. Plane stars Gerard Butler. We don’t need any other information than that to set our expectations.

Read more: Here We Go Again: A Look At Sequels: Part 4The Exorcist III (1990) The Exorcist was a profanity-soaked horror milestone. Its follow-up was smeared in locust shit and as amusingly bonkers as they come. However, Linda Blair wasn’t required for the second sequel, enabling its producers to try a new approach. Exorcist III is not a reboot (like the deliriously kooky Halloween III) but…
