Candyman (2021) — A Review

18th September, 2021

OK … 


I am — in the immortal words of Hector the Hound … ? — a great big silly old Hector.

I usually start my film reviews off, the evening I watch the films concerned.

Then finish them off the next day, after a good night’s sleep.

You’ll have to take the thought as the metaphorical — metaphorical? proverbial? — deed.

And assume I started this, last night.

At any rate, last night’s film was something I’ve been meaning to watch for some time.

Yes: the 2021, Nia DaCosta directed, Jordan Peele produced, horror film, Candyman.

Watchmen — Series 1 Episode 9 — See How They Fly — A Review

17th November, 2020.


I think I can safely say I’m feeling a touch better.

I was at the GP’s, earlier: for various reasons: as I mention in today’s Teaser.

And frankly?

I’ve got a course of antibiotics, let’s put it that way!

Hopefully, they’ll have an effect.

If they don’t, I have to phone back in a fortnight.

Keep your fingers crossed.

However, and as is traditional, by now?

I’m starting my review of the climactic episode of Watchmen, on the night I’ve seen it.

Partly?   I’ve got some bedtime reading I want to do: a short story collection by Arthur Machen, if you must know*.

Partly?   To get my brain in order.

And partly?   Because I want some sort of sleep, thank you!

Watchmen — Series 1 Episode 8 — A God Walks Into Abar — A Review

10th November, 2020.


Right … it’s late — ish — on a Tuesday night.

And … ?   It’s late enough that going to bed with a James Bond novel — currently, I’m reading Diamonds Are Forever — is very appealing.

I wanted to get started on this post, though: to register a couple of points.

First?

My landlord was supposed to fix the main door of the building, today.

They’ve re-arranged it for the 20th!

Secondly?

I’ve seen the penultimate episode of Watchmen.

Things are hotting up!

Right … 

I’m now officially back: to tell you I’ve seen the penultimate episode of Watchmen.

But … ?   Do you remember me saying, only last night, that the door repair that had been scheduled yesterday, got rescheduled for the 20th?

It’s now been rescheduled for the 19th … 

I hate having to wait!
