WWE Saturday Night's Main Event: November 2025
Since its return to the WWE programming schedule, 'Saturday Night's Main Event' has provided plenty of big moments, good and bad, and I was certain this autumn edition would be no different. The card had some decent looking matches on it, if only a couple that really screamed major, as far as plot and stakes went. My eyes were focused on what I expected to be the main event; the World title match, but I was hoping for good matches across the card. Opening the show, a litt

Tron (1982) Dir: Steven Lisberger
Instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DQg8BOijYoE/?igsh=MTVsMTNqZmtwcTM5cQ== In 1982, Steven Lisberger directed what would become a classic sci-fi film, and one of the most beloved films of a beloved decade. It had been so long since I'd seen the original that I honestly couldn't remember much about it, other than the basics. In preparation for the third film, it seemed like the perfect time to rewatch the prior two, starting, of course, with the Eighties original. My r

The Monkey (2025) Dir: Osgood Perkins
Instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DQeXpDpDVNA/?igsh=MWM3YTJ5bDczc3I4cA== My main reason for wanting to watching this brutal-looking horror film was because it was directed by Osgood Perkins, who made 2024's 'Longlegs' ; a film that I had absolutely loved. Based on the short story by Stephen King, I wasn't quite expecting this to be as good as the aforementioned 'Longlegs', but I was still very much intrigued by apparent absurdity it possessed, which I had seen snipp

NXT Halloween Havoc 2025
NXT's annual seasonal special premium live event, which took its name from the classic WCW event of the 90's, is always heaps of fun. The vibes are always good, ringside always looks appropriately spooky, and the matches usually have a seasonal twist. This year's event had a lot of matches that sounded like they'd be good value for money, including an appearance from the iconic Hardy's, so my anticipation was fairly high all-around. Tonight's edition of 'Halloween Havoc' be

Muppet Treasure Island (1996) Dir: Brian Henson
Instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DQULXK3jUqg/?igsh=OHVldHBuNDVreHNn I grew up absolutely adoring this 1996 comedy adaptation of the classic seafaring adventure 'Treasure Island' , by Louis Stevenson. If there is one way to make a remake or adaptation worth it, it's to do it with the beloved band of puppets known as 'The Muppets' . This one was directed by Brian Henson, son of the legendary puppeteers Jim and Jane Henson, and, whilst not as popular as the Muppets ad

La Chimera (2023) Dir: Alice Rohrwacher
Instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DQRtzhSjX7B/?igsh=MXBuaGozbHlzMXd6dA== This highly acclaimed Italian independent film, produced by Curzon, and directed by Alice Rohrwacher, has been on my watchlist for a long time. It is one of the highest rated films of the decade, and is very much revered by its fans. In fact, many people describe it as one of the best films of the decade, which, as we traverse the halfway point of said-decade, is no mean feat. I was always goin

The Quatermass Xperiment (1955) Dir: Val Guest
Instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DQPBptzjcPz/?igsh=MWx5a2t6NDF3YmJwOA== Also known as 'The Creeping Unknown' , this Val Guest directed science fiction horror, from the iconic Hammer Productions, is a film I've wanted to watch a fair bit ever since I started this odyssey into the iconic selection of classic British horror that is the Hammer filmography. I have seen this one advertised quite heavily on Hammer's website, and it seems to be well-regarded - all the impe

Babygirl (2024) Dir: Halina Reijn
Instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DQMiLCxDYrr/?igsh=MXJyZG9jb3kwanRleg== A24 has grown a reputation in the last few years for producing some truly excellent cinematic works, ranging in genre, budget, and scale. This 2024 erotic thriller, directed by Halina Reijn - the mind behind 'Bodies Bodies Bodies' , is not one of those cinematic works. Prior to watching it, I had hoped to see something daring, sensual, maybe a little cheeky, but above all I wanted it to be inte

Crash (1996) Dir: David Cronenberg
Instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DQJrnMIDFJI/?igsh=dnBycng1N3hzenFy Some films have a unique reputation that baffles as much as it entices, and this erotic thriller, which was based on the 1973 book of the same name by J.G. Ballard, and was both directed and produced by David Cronenberg, is most assuredly one of those films. I, like many before me, no doubt, was drawn into watching the film because of its reputation. I wanted to know just how out there it really wa
