Hey! Remember me! I think we all know the answer to that is "Probably not!" Sorry, I know it's been a very long time and I've been absolutely awful at keeping in touch, but honestly I've still been thinking of you all and how I can actually review movies again. Probably, if a lot of movie sites were to start quoting me, that would help. Because Klassiki has actually just started quoting my review of Я шагаю по Москве (I Walk Through Moscow) (1964) in its promo literature! It's been an awful long time since anyone has done that. And look! It seems to have brought me back to life. I say review ..read more

Crikey, as I always say, shortly after posting an image that was considered high resolution in 2005 – how did that happen? Time has flown again. The Medium Is Not Enough emerged blinking into the world on 21 June 2005, and basic maths tells us it is now 17 years old.

So t ..read more

Like pretty much everyone in the UK, TMINE is about to pop off on its holidays to take advantage of next week's double bank holiday – thanks, Queenie! – so time for a quick update on current TV viewing. A lot of shows are in a holding pattern for us. Superman & Lois (US: The CW; UK: BBC One) is still on holiday. Bel-Air (Peacock) is still just there, waiting for us to watch the rest of it. Star Trek: Picard (US: Paramount+; UK: Amazon Prime) is still waiting for me to apologise for calling it bobbins. And The Essex Serpent (Apple TV+) is still there, waiting for me to do the ironing. Wheth ..read more
