The Vampire Lovers (1970) Dir: Roy Ward Baker
Instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DRj6u-kjMT-/?igsh=c3RwenZpaGxkOW9v With so many classic horrors in their filmography, it should come as no surprise to know that there were a few I had been especially interested in, and this 1970 vampire horror, from director Roy Ward Baker, was one of those few, mainly because of my love for vampire horror, but also because of this one's popularity with fans of Hammer horrors. The studio had done very well with their 1958 adaptati

NXT Gold Rush 2025: Week Two
After a successful and entertaining first week of action, NXT's 'Gold Rush' event rolled on with week two in New York, a show full of more fun matches, if perhaps some with slightly lower stakes than those of the first show. Regardless, I was once again very excited to see what the talent of NXT, Evolve, and TNA would showcase in their various matches, many of which featuring gold from the three respective brands. The second week of 'Gold Rush' began with the Evolve Champio

NXT Gold Rush 2025: Week 1
NXT took over New York for two weeks of major matches under the 'Gold Rush' monicre. This first special episode of NXT had plenty of fun matches to look forward to, with a mixed tag team match and a women's title match as the two on-paper standouts to me. I wasn't necessarily expecting many title changes or anything, but NXT almost always delivers these days, so I knew I'd be entertained. Those first evening's action began with the AAA Mixed Tag Team Championships on the lin

Decision To Leave (2022) Dir: Park Chan-Wook
Instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DRe9Kz1DStY/?igsh=MWx4ZW1ndWZodjR0cg== The ever-growing, and ever-more-popular world of South Korean cinema is one that I have barely scraped the surface of, but one name that has stuck with me as one to explore the filmography of, is Park Chan-wook. Known for making some of the best Korean films ever made, and, simply put, some of the highest rated films ever regardless of country or origin, his works were must-watches for me, and

The Hound Of The Baskervilles (1902) By Arthur Conan Doyle
"There is nothing more stimulating than a case where everything goes against you." After a couple of months off, I returned to the world of Victorian era investigative mysteries, with this, the fifth book in a series of 'Sherlock Holmes' stories, of course, from the acclaimed British author; Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. This is arguably his most famous tale - most everyone has heard of the infamous hound - but it was still a case I was not particularly familiar with. This only ma

X: The Unknown (1956) Dir: Leslie Norman
Instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DRcYkQoDTrE/?igsh=OW44bjR6d2x3aXBh Next up on my journey through the various classic horrors of Hammer Productions was this 1956 film, directed by Leslie Norman. Ironically, considering the name of the film, this was one of the Hammer horrors that wasn't particularly known to me, either by name or reputation. Indeed, it's definitely not one of the higher rated films on Letterboxd, or anywhere online, for that matter, though those ra

Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning (2025) Dir: Christopher McQuarrie
Instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DRXO2_BDTMz/?igsh=MXNzNm01ODl5bnMybA== Although it has been a staple of Hollywood for almost thirty years, it was only really in the last two that I began to work my way through the 'Mission: Impossible' franchise. Some of them have been great, some have been, well, 'Mission: Impossible 2' , but most of them have been extremely fun in their own way. It was now time for me to watch the final film in the franchise, once more directed

Tron: Legacy (2010) Dir: Joseph Kosinski
Instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DRUxYuXjUUe/?igsh=MTFhZzd5NDVicjJybQ== Almost thirty years after the first 'Tron' film inspired audiences with its futuristic, computer game-like visuals and hopeful, anti-capitalist story, Disney produced a legacy sequel, with Joseph Kosinski at the helm, and a new, sleeker vision for what the 'Tron' universe could be. I hadn't realised quite how long it had been since I'd last watched this legacy sequel, but, with 'Tron: Ares'

Ballerina (2025) Dir: Len Wiseman
Instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DRR-aN2jIuc/?igsh=MXFkNXliYXlrbXRubw== After the monumental successes of the four 'John Wick' films, which redefined modern action films with their incredible action sequences, and breathed new life into one of Hollywood's most loved actors, spin-offs were inevitable. First came the Prime original series; 'The Continental' which didn't quite achieve the popularity of the films, and then it was the turn of this Len Wiseman action fi
