Little bump for the evening crowd - has anyone else read Michael Caine's debut thriller novel?

Day 9 of March Madness and it's time to look at the debut thriller from a British screen legend...

I read an interview with Belinda Carlisle(!) once where she'd just finished #ErrolFlynn's autobiography. She said it was, "The sad story of a man who knows he has everything anyone could possibly want - but can't stop himself from throwing it all away." That's so painfully true.

Morning all! I've been writing something on my silly little site every day this week, and I'm aiming to do so for the whole month - here's today's post, looking back at the first week.

Day 7 of March Madness and it's time for another mini Late Review... ... I promise, this is the last Marvel cartoon on the shelf.

Say what you like about the #Daredevil movie from 2003, the groovy little palm-sized FM radio given away at preview screenings still works perfectly after 22 years in the loft... www.latereviewer.com/2025/03/03/march-madness-the-telltale-movie-merch/

Reposting for the teatime and commuter crowd - help me decide what to read, folks!

In #MyDaysWithErrolFlynn, his stunt double, #BusterWiles, mentions Errol on pretty much every third/fourth page. In #MyWickedWickedWays, Flynn's memoir, he mentions Wiles only twice... Take a look at the post below and help @latereviewer.bsky.social decide on their next read. #WorldBookDay

It's World Book Day and I'm indecisive so for March Madness YOU can choose the next book I read! Options are in the link below, please comment with your choice (as I don't think we can do polls here yet)!

@goonpod.bsky.social Recently showed my kids an animated clip of 'What Time Is It, Eccles?', and was overjoyed to see them laugh like crazy (and now quote it relentlessly). Haven't heard a Goon Show in years, but have decided to dip back in. Any episodes you'd recommend to start with?

Fending off the Sunday night blues with a glass of red and the last half hour of Cliffhanger and found myself wondering what the 2025 equivalent would be of Sylvester Stallone having a punch-up on a mountain with John Lithgow?

Today I have consumed four coffees and half a litre of out of date energy drink. Just posted an Army of Darkness gif on the work Teams thread too. How's your Friday going?

It's been a while since I've published anything new on my silly little blog, and I've just realised this is probably my first fresh post on Bluesky so... Congratulations, I Guess.

Gene Hackman was the most charismatic, gripping, fun yet terrifying actor that ever lived. He was a devastating force in every project he appeared in, & left the business on his own terms to enjoy a simple life. An incredible titan of the screen who was already missed, but will be really missed now.

Can't believe it's been 32 years. Yes, the thumbnail is from the sequel, but the Late Review for El Mariachi and its bigger budget follow-ups are all right here if you're interested...

Ok, we need a new James Bond AND a new Archbishop of Canterbury, and pretty soon it'll be time for another new Willy Wonka and a new Doctor Who. We need to economise. They should all be amalgamated into a single new character called Archdoctor Bondwonka.

RIP George Armitage He directed two of my favourite films, Miami Blues and Grosse Pointe Blank. He’s also responsible for my favourite scene involving a baby & Under Pressure. Just beautiful. youtu.be/DWyuAq5Yq34?...

Bill Hader doing an impression of Oliver Reed explaining the difference between acting on stage & acting on film. Love how he cracks Paul Giamatti up.
